This song draws inspiration from the intriguing story of Perceval Lowell, a prominent 19th-century astronomer who played a significant role in inspiring works such as "War of the Worlds" by H.G. Wells and, arguably, the entire genre of science fiction. Lowell's fascination with the canals of Mars prompted him to acquire a telescope and embark on a quest to find similar features on Venus.



In his observations, he perceived what appeared to be spokes on a wheel and confidently sketched them. However, due to an unfortunate error in using a very small aperture, Lowell unintentionally ended up observing the back of his own eyeball instead of Mars. Nevertheless, he spent his life steadfast in his belief that he had indeed discovered the canals of Venus. Special thanks to Tom Kraus for his valuable contributions on vocals and guitars.
