Vidder's notes: Again, I had a great time making my festivids assignment and I learned new things about Vegas, so yay! I'm not fannish about Riverworld, but I did enjoy it and one of my favorite parts was Tomoe Gozen, so when I saw the assignment, I may have cheered.

Lyrics for Two Planets (lyrics in bold are used in the video)
We are all strangers in a strange land, wanderers in a vast and unknowable universe.

Show me moonlight
On the sunrise
I’ve seen so many planets dancing
I’ve seen too many people hiding
Show me sunset
And I won’t forget
That I am one of two planets dancing
I am one of two planets dancing
Shallow man
Sign your name
On my sun
The song of Solomon
Died in a battleground
The song of Solomon
Died in love’s battleground
I long for
Shelter by this sailing tide
For all your suffering by night
Oh, warm but under bright
And life is so much dark and light
Day cannot exist without a night
You are not separate from me
I am a heart that’s full of life
To be shared
On this night
Feel my hands
Feel my life
For the sun
And the stars
Are my mother and my sisters
I know where the form is changing
I know that the stars will follow me
