Stars

There, out in the darkness
A fugitive running
Falling from grace
Falling from grace
God be my witness
I never shall yield
'Til we come face to face
'Til 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 flame as hot

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 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
'Til then, this I swear
This I swear by the stars
