We have roamed the plains a million years
Gathered at the shore
When we had run out off all fears
We have come from everywhere.
Crumbling worlds behind
reason is what we´re gonna give
to be given peace of mind.
Crimson is the pavement
blood is dripping from our dreams.
To the sound of smashing yesterdays
we dance in ecstasy.
Oh craving devour me, take me away
Oh to infinity, take me away.
Take me away
Oh yeah take me away, far away
Don´t you turn your face to the night sky
Said the fainthearted one
You may see through the charades
An instant that won´t come undone
I can feel the ease of my pain
Decline of the blood reason level
gazing in awe bystanders scream
Mentally critical fettle
We´re sailing on gentle waves,
we read the sky
Stargazers, stargazers,
behold the key
Stargazers, stargazers,
infinity, reason left behind
Where are you detecting the wrongs
Spirit that always denies
I´ve gone insane
Release me from waiting
For the sparkle to rise
I can see they´re nailed to the cross
Cannot live till they´re gone
Immortal they cry on terrestrial embers
While they laugh at the clown
You feel a chill as if time stood still
There´s no way out
Stargazers, stargazers,
behold the key
Stargazers, stargazers,
for a lucid dream
you´ll leave the world behind
Oh craving devour me,
take me away to infinity
Oh take me away,craving devour me,
take me away, take me away
Stargazers, stargazers,
behold the key
Stargazers, stargazers,
infinity, reason left behind
When the sun rose to wake another day
they were gone,
gone without a trace,
Babylon, craving in lucidity
Babylon, the fire will remain
And the sun razes from their memory
What the dark had cyphered in the sky.
And the flame´s burning their lucidity
Babylon, rise up to the night
Oh, let us wander, let us wander
between the worlds
We override their principles
abrogate horizons
Abandon mental gravity
Oh, we overrule the eye
Compromise your sanity to heaven,
to hell.
