Starchildren
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I came from nothing before nothing began
Broke the window of existence and became a man
No sympathy for fools, my star is black and burned
I tilt toward the light, I suck your souls into my might
We are starchildren, coming out of nowhere and to nowherereturn
Starchildren, a hundred million souls sucked out in one breath
I shiver at the threshold of your waking hour
The knowledge that you seek is my source of power
I live apart from you, but I know the things you do
No angel can save you - how?
You don't need a god, 'cause I'm here now
I am starchildren, coming out of nowhere and to nowhere return
Starchildren, a hundred million souls snuffed out in one breath
Do I fulfill your deepest need for prophecy?
I am the ruler that you seek, so come to me
Come to me
We are starchildren, coming out of nowhere and to nowherereturn
Starchildren, a hundred million souls snuffed out in one breath
Starchildren, I'm the ruler of existence in your space and time
Starchildren, to penetrate your future is my only crime
Star...
