Inside, in dull darkness light shows the way Exposes unexplored labyrinths A guide inside the chaos, a compass in the void The star to follow when you are lost Breaking the rules through their way Exploring where none has gone Standing as a lighthouse in the shore The lantern that blinds all fears The burning fire seems to live forever more The stars that shine tonight are not alive But still echoes in their wake their song In their first steps the prophets try to thrive Unbound and drowned they intone their dirge Their dirge! Unbound and drowned they intone their dirge The stars that shine tonight are not alive But still echoes in their wake their song In their first steps the prophets try to thrive Unbound and drowned they intone their dirge Guidance nevermore Astray, feel so lost Soon to be perennial grey Riders of black, they ride in the night Ethereal in the moonlight The stars that shine tonight are not alive But still echoes in their wake their song In their first steps the prophets try to thrive Unbound and drowned they intone their dirge Guidance nevermore Astray, feel so lost Soon to be perennial grey Into the words, in the wind fading out Impotency, prelude of death Prelude of death! Fading out in the wind! Prelude of death! Fading out in the wind!
