There are monsters out in the cosmos
That can swallow entire stars
Inside these equations, there's a monster
Anything that strays too close will be pulled in
Gravity is infinite at the center of black hole
Time stops - space makes no sense
Every galaxy has got one big black hole in the middle
And millions of smaller black holes
An anomaly of gravity so strange
Nothing is more seductive
There are monsters out in the cosmos
That can swallow entire stars
That can destroy space itself
Completely invisible
Anything that strays too close will be pulled in
In the last century, black holes have gone from being mathematical curiosities
To real objects in the cosmos
Seemingly crucial to the formation of galaxies
Nothing can escape it, even light
There must be millions and millions of black holes
Zipping around our galaxy, nothing there to light them up
At the heart of a large black hole is a singularity
It's a point of inifinite density
The accepted laws of physics break down
Black holes form when giant stars run out of fuel
And collapse under their own weight
Dark remnants of burned out stars
Truth is stranger than sci-fi
(refrain)
Nothing is bigger and scarier than a black hole
A boundary between the known universe
And a place beyond the reach of science
