about

This is a remix of Brian Michael Henry's original, about the Heaven's Gate cult. It's specifically about one of the founders (Ti), who harbored the knowledge that she was dying, and who secretly began questioning her own cult's teachings before her death.

I wanted expressive, percussive vocals in this version to really move and drive the world - to create a heavenly, otherworldly, somewhat bizarre feel. Just like the subject matter.

lyrics

"You still awake?"
Ti whispers to Do
Can't quiet her mind
She gets up and goes
To the window

Stars in the sky and
Frost on the ground
She's disappointed
Thought she'd be found
By now

She's so lonely
She don't know why
He said he'd take her
On a trip through the sky
Headed for home
Never alone again

Do looks so peaceful
At night while he sleeps
Never let's on
The doubts that he keeps
She steps outside
And takes a deep breath
If he found out
It'd scare him to death
She says

Well vehicles move
And change all the time
I've got some questions
What's happening to mine?
Somebody give me a sign, 'cause

I'm so lonely
But I don't know why
He said he'd take me
On a trip through the sky
We're heading for home; never alone again

I'll stay this course, I'm not questioning you
I want to be stronger and see this thing through
And when that day comes and our work is done
Together I know we'll beam up"

Stars in the sky, frost on the ground
Earth can be nice, when no one's around
Maybe I'll stay

She's so lonely
She don't know why
He said he'd take her
On a trip through the sky oh

She's so lonely
She don't know why
He said he'd take her
On a trip through the sky
Headed for home
Never alone again
Headed for home
Never alone again

"You still awake?"
Ti whispers to Do
