lyrics

The night arrives and I am come to rouse this starry habitat
I come to answer all your prayers
My artist and my acrobat
The world above thee guides thee into thy ambition's avatar
But the blades beneath thee show thee where thy troubles are

So why that look upon your face?
Have my intentions gone too far?
Are you afraid to dream again?
Did my ambitions break your heart?
I know the earth can bleed you dry with great delusions, sores and scars
For the blades beneath thee show thee where thy troubles are

Though disappointment and despair do dry intention's reservoir
A weapon can be salvaged still
A sword made of a fallen star
These blades above are forged from all the troubles in thy repertoire
And the blades beneath thee show thee where thy troubles are

Now blow the horns of heartbreak
Wedding sorrow with experience
And Lo! Behold: a newborn vow
Unprecedented recompense
I promise that these wounds of yours will lead the way unto the stars
For the blades beneath thee show thee where thy troubles are
