Seventh sister of the pleiades

Lyrics - me, Music - Suno

An article appeared on a site called the Quantum Cat about the fairly tales of the Pleiades, the same article on another site was called the Seventh sister of the Pleiades. that sounded like an excellent prog rock song

[Verse 1]

In days of yore according to ancestral folklore

Spinning sticks caused burning flames not feared

As glowing embers drifting nightly into starry skies

Visions of sisters seven of the Pleiades appeared


[Chorus]

Oh, seventh sister of the Pleiades

Mythical stellular daughter of history

Oh, seventh sister of the Pleiades

Traceless trails shrouded in mystery


[Verse 2]

And the ancients stared upon brilliant stars

Then sages through time scribed their vision

Perpetual recordings of the seventh's history

As her gradual fade to interstellar division


[Chorus]

Oh, seventh sister of the Pleiades

Mythical stellular daughter of history

Oh, seventh sister of the Pleiades

Traceless trails shrouded in mystery


[Verse 3]

Spinning hands of time as seasons elapse

Spinning tales and fables of starry skies

Spinning yarns of threads of discourse

Spinning parables of cosmic butterflies


[Chorus]

Oh, seventh sister of the Pleiades

Mythical stellular daughter of history

Oh, seventh sister of the Pleiades

Traceless trails shrouded in mystery


[Bridge]

Oh seventh sister, (Oh seventh sister)

Where did you go, (lost in cosmic streams)

Where did you go, (becoming a misty dream)

Where did you go, (you've gone astray)

Where did you go, (the galaxy once played)

Where did you go, (Your glow's not as bright)

Where did you go, (dark as a starless night)


[Outro]

You keep cosmically disappearing, then

Coming back again into, my reality

I can see you slipping into dust, then

Coming back again into, my reality

Oh, seventh sister of the Pleiades

Your mystery is playing with my reality

Oh, seventh sister of the Pleiades

    Now why didn't you start off with something simple like, I don't know, "Starry, starry night,

    If nothing Bill you are educational, I now know where the Pleiades are and more importantly, what they are!

    This has got a driving beat, probably more at home playing during the world's scariest fairground ride.

    It holds you, more out of fear than anything else, and takes you on a ride you won't easily forget.

    Only you Bill, only you!

  • Countless nights over the course of years I gazed with amazement at the Pleiades and other stars in the night sky. Now I live somewhere where that's not convenient at all to do. At least I had many years to experience it. I recommend star gazing, if you live in a dark area and can do it safely. Better yet travel to one of the very dark places and spend a weekend in amazement.


  • Or - Star Light, Star Bright 😂. I get random stuff just showing up.. That's one of those titles that just has the right cadence. when I got to the outro, I re-read and realized that the missing sister could be a metaphor for somebody checking out of reality or death.. the cadence of the outro is borrowed from a verse in disturbed's down with the sickness. it seemed to fit here :).. thanks for the comment.

  • i've been fortunate to live in places where I can see the stars in the sky, at one point I'll get a telescope.

  • "Seventh sister of the Pleiades" definitely sounds like a prog rock title! And now it is.

    I hadn't come across "stellular" before. You've obviously specifically chosen that, but "stellar" seems just as appropriate and might lose fewer people!

    You might also consider "In days of yore according to ancestral folklore" → "In days of yore according to ancestral lore" depending on the syllables and cadence.

    It's not really my style of music, but I did enjoy the listen.

  • Intellectual metal! Who would've thought it . Definitely interesting!

  • @carroll - thanks for the comment.. new genre :)

  • I thought folklore would sound more epic than just lore, but i'll give it a shot.. the same with stellular, disturbed song stupified, really isn't a word but sounds cool :)

  • I have no idea what its about in the song , But sounds very cool Bill

  • Only like 10% or so of people in the world have dark skies enough to get a good look at the Milky Way with the naked eye. You are very fortunate if you can see it!

  • @robwills - you just need a place that has no transient lightng. I live out in semi-rural areas so the nights light up :)
