Lost in a dream, finally it seems Emptiness and everlasting madness See the sadness grow, watching as we know Long before our journey for the world Call for us, the power in all of us So far beyond the blackened sky tonight... Glorious, forever more in us We are victorious, and so alive [Chorus] We'll all find our sacrifice tomorrow Our journey on towards a brighter day Silent tears we left behind, still so far away Across the endless sands Through the fields of our despair Free for all eternity, we stand, yeah Rise above the universe tonight Starchaser... Fly towards the storm, see the world reborn Feel the pain inside the voice of sorrow Cross the distant shores, find the open door Stand alone, in judgment for tomorrow Years of pain still haunt us all, we saw the last sunrise Take me home, in freedom, for a lifetime... Pray now for the silence, and the last tears we'll cry So glorious, this fire inside, united we stand [Chorus] And we'll all find our sacrifice tomorrow Our journey on towards a brighter day Silent tears we left behind, still so far away Across the endless sands Through the fields of our despair Free for all eternity, we stand, yeah Rise above the universe tonight Starchaser... Free from this world, here for the last time Oceans collide inside of us all Believe who we are The phoenix will guide us Freedom will rise once again Save us tonight, the last hope for all of us Light-years gone by, we're still holding on Save us tonight, a star shines in all of us Far beyond our lives, still our glory lives on [Chorus] And we'll all find our sacrifice tomorrow Our journey on towards a brighter day Silent tears we left behind, still so far away Across the endless sands Through the fields of our despair Free for all eternity, we stand, yeah Rise above the universe tonight Starchaser...Starchaser... Our kingdom come, we stand as one And we will live for always evermore...
