It's amusing to try to come up with meanings for these words. "Asfar", for example, means "yellow" in Arabic, although I'm not sure why yellow should be important here! As far as wren goes ( ) the wren has great Celtic (well, Irish anyway) significance. You can read about it here: http://www.sligoheritage.com/archwrenboys.htm
I also hear "centaur" rather than "cento" in the lyrics. "Centaur" fits better, because Sagittarius was a centaur, and arrow references are not uncommon in Mike's work (eg Space Arrow World in Tres Lunas, the song "Poison Arrows"). Sagittarius gets a mention in "Saved by a Bell", and even "On Horseback" can be seen to have a man/horse centaurish quality!
