Written in 1972. Impossible to record properly as envisioned with the kind of equipment that I've ever owned. This rather over-ambitious attempt is cluttered, to say the least but serves as a demo starting point. The tune is there and the words are set below. Instrumental version.

nova ember ~ auto-scroll lyrics
Asteroid; collision date ~ civilization acting like it just can't wait ~
When you leave, don't shut the gate! ('cos you know) ~
Some will be returning at a later date.
Oh yeah; Please care ~ Please care ~
 
Seen million rainbowed breast plates fall from broken tempered Satan's army ~
In flight before the glow of Sin's dying sun ~
Ah... nuiscance tears! ~ wet the eyes that turn; watch burn ~
Love's so unsettled Mother-Sphere!
 
Asteroid; collision date ~ civilization acting like it just can't wait ~
When you leave, don't shut the gate ~
You know that some will be returning at a later date.
 
See the balls of a flaming torture ~ orbit contra-cyclic Nova Embers
Nothing but lies in the eyes of a Starchild ~ quarrelling microseconds from the end.
 
Synthesize Superstring ~ Don't leave home without it 'cos it's just the thing!
Take a seat ~ Enjoy the view! See the spinning mouse's number high and few...
high and few... high and few... and so now:-
 
We'll tell you a story of particles strange!
Charmed innocent bystanders acting derranged.
They're all Nova Embers ~ just rocks from some star
But comfort my heart; what's this matter so dark?
 
Go forward Starchildren! All Nova Embers! (curiously)
Each cast off in its own small theatre ~ each one saying:-
I bet you know who we are! I bet you know who we are!
 
Seen million rainbowed breast plates fall from broken tempered Satan's army ~
In flight before the glow of Sin's dying sun ~
Ah... nuiscance tears! ~ wet the eyes that turn; watch burn ~
Love's so unsettled Mother-Sphere!
 
Earth and Moon ~ cross-wind stare...
Little sister hanging on to Mummy's hair.
Stepping stone ~ Who goes there?
Someone has been sleeping in my dusty lair!
 
Go forward Starchildren! All Nova Embers! (curiously)
Each cast off in its own small theatre ~ each one saying:-
I bet you know who we are! I bet you know who we are!
 
high and few...
high and few...
high and few...
We'll tell you a story of particles strange!
