Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Please, could you stay awhile to share my grief?
For it's such a lovely day to have to always feel this way
And the time that I will suffer less
Is when I never have to wake
[Chorus]
Wandering stars, for whom it is reserved
The blackness, the darkness forever
Wandering stars, for whom it is reserved
The blackness, the darkness forever
[Verse 2]
Those who have seen the needle's eye now tread
Like a husk, from which all that was now has fled
And the masks that the monsters wear
To feed upon their prey
[Chorus]
Wandering stars, for whom it is reserved
The blackness, the darkness forever
Wandering stars, for whom it is reserved
The blackness, the darkness forever
[Verse 3]
Doubled up inside, take a while to share my grief
Always doubled up inside, taunted, cruel
[Chorus]
Wandering stars, for whom it is reserved
The blackness, the darkness forever
Wandering stars, for whom it is reserved
The blackness, the darkness forever
