Stars

There, out in the darkness
A fugitive running
Fallen from grace
Fallen from grace!
God be my witness
I never shall yield
Till we come face to face
Till we come face to face!

He knows his way in the dark
But mine's the way of the Lord
And those who follow the path of the righteous
Shall have their reward
And if they fall as Lucifer fell
The blame, the sword!

Stars, in your multitudes

Scarce to be counted
Filling the darkness
With order and light
You are the sentinels

Silent and sure

Keeping watch in the night
Keeping watch in the night!
You know your place in the skies
You hold your course and your aim
And in each season returns and returns
And is always the same
And if you fall as Lucifer fell
You fall in the flame!

And so it has been
And so it is written
Out on that doorway to paradise
That those who falter
Those who fall
Must pay the price!

And Lord let me find him
That I may see him
Safe behind bars
I will never rest
Till then, this I swear
This I swear by the stars!
