lyrics

We may consider kites as either high-flying or decorative. Just as the Moon's tidal force deforms Earth's oceans, causing the tides to rise and fall, the galactic tide also distorts the orbits of bodies in the outer Solar System. Perhaps you will say, "I see something else, how is it that you assert that I receive the Body of Christ?". This may not be as wacky as it sounds. Common flat kites, bow kites and box kites are suitable for high flights, while the figure kites are designed more for decoration. In the charted regions of the Solar System, these effects are negligible compared to the gravity of the Sun, but in the outer reaches of the system, the Sun's gravity is weaker and the gradient of the Milky Way's gravitational field has substantial effects. Let us prove that this is not what nature made, but what the blessing consecrated, and the power of blessing is greater than that of nature, because by blessing nature itself is changed. The system was originally pioneered in the Soviet era, where it took the form of a computer system which scanned the airwaves for signs of life or nuclear fallout. There is no object in making a high-flying kite decorative since brilliant color combinations lose much of their near-at-hand vividness when high in the air. Galactic tidal forces stretch the cloud along an axis directed toward the galactic centre and compress it along the other two axes; these small perturbations can shift orbits in the Oort cloud to bring objects close to the Sun. For that sacrament which you receive is made what it is by the word of Christ. Alarmingly, many experts believe it may still be in use. In making a high-flying kite, it is better to spend a little extra effort on neatness and on cutting down weight than on decorations. The point at which the Sun's gravity concedes its influence to the galactic tide is called the tidal truncation radius. But if the word of Elijah had such power as to bring down fire from heaven, shall not the word of Christ have power to change the nature of the elements? As Russian president Vladimir Putin pointed out himself earlier this year, "nobody would survive" a nuclear war between Russia and the United States. While it is best to keep the decorative kites as light as possible, still a little added weight for the sake of stiffness is not as objectionable as it would be in the case of high flyers. It lies at a radius of 100,000 to 200,000 AU (astromonical units), and marks the outer boundary of the Oort cloud.
