It is a peculiar tune... Written by K.T.W.S.G. in February 2018, it was originally a poem that happened to come to author's mind when he was walking back home from the concert at the Colorado School of Music in Boulder, CO. One of the pieces played there was called "Cygnus Rift" and when K.T.W.S.G. went out - in the place with a very low light pollution - he saw the Milky Way straight above his head. It struck him that the music that he just listened to and the stars above coexist. That very night, he penned the lyrics in one shot.
The D.N.A. seemed to like the text but had trouble translating it into music. Some attempts were made in the Summer of 2018 during Wizna Sessions, but to no avail. It's worth noting that the Wizna Versions hold the peculiar vibe caused most probably by (extensively used) "double-decker" vintage, Polish analogue Unitra organs.
Finally, in July 2019 the band (supported by the guest starring Kucharz - The Cook) recorded it in one shot.

Lyrics:
CYGNUS RIFT
Guide us deep into the night
Lying down, watch stars collide
Reaching out and touching Swan
Following your path till dawn
Cutting through the milky way
Going far along dark lane
You divide the brightest band
Cygnus Rift, the promised land
Always waiting for the night
Finding places with no light
There is only Eagle's glow
Fabulous Aquila show
Cutting through the milky way
Going far along dark lane
You divide the brightest band
Cygnus Rift, the promised land
You can raise us from the dead
Ophiuchus, on thee we tread
You can teach us how to bear
Serpent here and everywhere
Cutting through the milky way
Going far along dark lane
You divide the brightest band
Cygnus Rift, the promised land
Take us to the Archer's lore
Let us see, as we adore
Sagittarius and his bow
Shooting stars here and now
Cutting through the milky way
Going far along dark lane
You divide the brightest band
Cygnus Rift, the promised land
