Nine on the Bortle

Smoke clouds have thickened to black out the stars
 The night sky is lit now by headlights of cars
 And the moon holds no purpose but pulling the tides anymore

 Blow out the candles
 Blow out the candles
 Throw on the light switch and bask in the fluorescent glow
 We're guided by satellites, we don't need stars anymore
 Can't see stars anymore
 With a nine on the bortle, we've blown out the stars
 Smashed all the lanterns and burned down the barns
 And with less than one hundredth in sight to guide us home after dark
 We're lost

 The streetlights have killed them
 The streetlights have killed them
 We've laid to rest gods in a tomb born of city lights
 And out in the flatlands, we thought that we'd found them
 But still the horizon did glow like a brush fire
 With a nine on the bortle, we've blown out the stars
 Smashed all the lanterns and burned down the barns
 And the moon holds no purpose
 'Cept pulling the tides on a planet encrusted in fluorescent lights

 300 miles we'd sail off the coast
 To be reunited with the skies of our hosts
 And at night, soon the rivers reflect nothing more than the moon
 With a nine on the bortle, we've blown out the stars
 Smashed all the lanterns and burned down the barns
 And with less than one hundredth in sight to guide us home after dark
 We're lost

 300 miles, 300 miles out into the ocean we'd sail to remember them
