Voyager's Howl

Voyager’s Howl
by
Tingster & The Coyotitos

[Verse 1]
I walk through bones of power lines,
Ghosts of towns where laughter died,
The sand remembers, the sky forgets,
I’m chasing echoes the sun won’t set.
Rust and ruin hum a prayer,
Static whispers fill the air,
Somewhere far, beyond the blue,
A silver wanderer’s calling too.
[Chorus]
Oh, Voyager—
Do you still sing to the stars?
Do you dream of home,
Or forget who we are?
In your endless run,
Past the reach of the sun,
Does the void ever answer your howl?
[Verse 2]
I drink from shadows, I feed on sound,
Where gods of iron once walked this ground,
The wind repeats the words I spoke,
A lonely code, the signal broke.
They say you carry our golden lies,
A child’s hello, a mother’s sigh,
But even gold will turn to dust,
And trust decays when no one trusts.
[Chorus]
Oh, Voyager—
Do you still hum our name?
Are the stars your church,
Or just more of the same?
Through the silence deep,
Where even time won’t weep,
Do you know you’re not coming home?
[Bridge]
I saw your face in a broken screen,
Your path a scar on the cosmic seam,
You left our sins in binary code,
Now we’re the ghosts on your radio.
The desert hums your frequency,
Each dune a wave, each cactus a key,
I howl your tune into the night,
Two drifters lost beyond the light.
[Final Chorus / Outro]
Oh, Voyager—
I’m the echo you forgot,
The last coyote on this rock,
While you drift in thought.
When the universe goes blind,
And your circuits unwind,
Maybe you’ll remember my howl.
