Cassinis Deadly Plunge by Tanith Lyrics

She said goodbye to Earth in late Ninety Seven
Without fanfare or acclaim
Her proud creators watched her rise to the heavens
A disappearing lonely flame

A voyage of six long years to where she'd been sent
The distant reach of humanity
Her makers knew they'd never see her again
But they would see what she could see

Through her cosmic eye

Into the dark heart of a giant she sailed
Revealing secrets never known
The endless quest for life was destined to fail
And we watched it all unfold

Through her cosmic eye

In time her nemesis was the fuel that she lacked
And plans were drawn to bring the end
Cassini's deadly plunge would be her last act
A final farewell from a friend
Through her cosmic eye
