Lyrics Precession of the Equinoxes - Nocturnus AD

Precession of the Equinoxes

Moving westward in the sky
Along the ecliptic plane, gravity induced axial change
Motion of the equinoxes
Relative to fixed stars, opposite of the sun
Gradual shift in polar motion, changes in the alignment
Wobbling rotation, equatorial bulge
Inertial space, planetary precession
Gravitational force, diurnal motion
Celestial poles, axial tilt
Changing of the polar positions
Over 26,000 years
It’s the precession of the equinoxes
Cycle of the seasons
Change over time
The Earth’s obliquity
Of the orbital plane
Circumpolar stars, celestial poles
Stationary points, the zenith angle
Astronomical horizon, vertical directions
Force of gravity, opposite of nadir
Precessional eras of constellations
Kochab and Pherkad, guardians of the poles
