Stars

Stars - Philip Quast

There out in the darkness

A fugitive running

Fallen from god

Fallen from grace

God be my witness

I never shall yield

Till we come face to face

Till we come face to face

He knows his way

In the dark

But mine

Is 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 the sword

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 sky

You hold your course and your aim

And each in your season

Returns and returns

And is always the same

And If you fall as lucifer fell

You fall in flame

And so it must be for so it is written

On the doorway to paradise

That those who falter and those who fall

Must pay the price

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
