Starlight

[Intro] A signal in the dark, a whisper through the void A ship of steel and bone, by silent stars deployed [Verse 1] The nebula's a graveyard where the old suns come to die We watch the crimson giants as they bleed across the sky A storm of cosmic radiation rattles through the hull We're drifting past the event horizon, feeling gravity's pull A black hole's silent hunger, a mouth that eats the light We skirt the edge of darkness on the precipice of night [Bridge] The engines hum a lullaby of fusion and of flame We leave behind the gravity, forget our earthly name The constellations shift and blur, the maps all fall away We're sailing on a sea of night where light has gone astray [Pre-Chorus] And the silence starts to sing, a frequency so strange The fabric of the cosmos begins to rearrange We're falling through a doorway that no one's ever known A journey to the seed of everything we've ever grown [Chorus] We are riders of the starlight, chasing shadows through the years Through the empty, through the ages, through the veil of all our fears We are echoes in the vacuum, we're a message in a beam Sailing through the endless nothing, chasing down a dying dream [Verse 2] A city made of crystal on a planet made of glass They speak in shades of ultraviolet, watch the ages pass Their eyes are deep as oceans, their voices soft as rain They've waited for a thousand years to hear a voice again They show us constellations that our charts could never hold They tell us of a future where the universe grows cold [Pre-Chorus] And the silence starts to sing, a frequency so strange The fabric of the cosmos begins to rearrange We're falling through a doorway that no one's ever known A journey to the seed of everything we've ever grown [Chorus] We are riders of the starlight, chasing shadows through the years Through the empty, through the ages, through the veil of all our fears We are echoes in the vacuum, we're a message in a beam Sailing through the endless nothing, chasing down a dying dream [Drop] Signal lost, signal found In the static, a new sound Pulse of life, alien tongue A greeting from a world unsung [Post-Chorus] And the stars are just a memory, the void is all we know But the signal keeps on flying wherever we may go Wherever we may go [Breakdown] The signal flies through eternity, a ghost without a home A testament to everything we've loved and lost and known The black holes keep on swallowing the light we try to send But still we keep on singing 'til the very, very end The very, very end [Outro] A signal in the dark, a whisper through the void A ship of steel and bone, by silent stars destroyed We are riders of the starlight We are echoes in the beam Sailing through the endless nothing Chasing down a dying dream A dying dream A dying dream
