lyrics

What sights and wonders, waiting to be known
Ever elusive, path of the stars

Throat cut open by the edge of the sword
Actions concealed before our eyes!
Civilization held in war
Controlled by faith, fear and lies!

Bodies....
Circle, the sun!
Celestial....
Deities revolve as one!
Symbols....
Written in the heavens!
Discovery....
Will unshroud the truth!

Starlight!

Starlight!

….Heretic! ….Unbeliever!
You cannot teach these wicked deceits, this treachery!
….These graven idols!

Starlight!

Why don’t you come down from your cross?
You who brought this flood upon us!
Through pain we gain strength, the fire to persevere!
And through this fire our chains are broken!

The assayer!
The source of light!
The assayer!
The master of truth and sight!
