Lyrics
[Verse 1]
We have roamed the plains a million years
Gathered at the shore
When we had run out of all fears
We have come from everywhere
[Verse 2]
Crumbling worlds behind
Reason's what we're gonna give
To be given peace of mind
[Verse 3]
Crimson is the pavement
Blood is dripping from our dreams
To the sound of smashing yesterdays
We dance in ecstasy
[Verse 4]
Oh, craving devour me
Take me away
Whoa, to infinity
Take me away
[Verse 5]
Take me away
Oh, yeah, take me away
Far away
[Verse 6]
Don't you turn your face to the night sky
Said the fainthearted one
You may see through the charades
An instant that won't come undone
I can feel the ease of my pain
Decline of the blood reason level
Gazing in awe, bystanders scream
Mentally critical fettle
[Verse 7]
We're sailing on gentle waves
We read the sky
[Verse 8]
Stargazers
Stargazers
Behold the key
Stargazers
Stargazers
Infinity
Reason left behind
[Verse 9]
Where are you detecting the wrongs
Spirit that always denies
I've gone insane, release me from waiting
For the sparkle to rise
I can see they're nailed to the cross
Cannot live till they're gone
Immortal they cry on terrestrial embers
While they laugh at the clown
[Verse 10]
You feel a chill as if time stood still
There's no way out
[Verse 11]
Stargazers
Stargazers
Behold the key
Stargazers
Stargazers
For a lucid dream
You'll leave the world behind
[Verse 12]
Oh, craving devour me
Take me away
Oh, to infinity
Oh, take me away
Oh, craving devour me
Yeah, take me
Ooh, Take me away, yeah
[Verse 13]
Stargazers
Stargazers
Behold the key
Stargazers
Stargazers
Infinity
A reason left behind
[Verse 14]
When the sun rose to wake another day
They were gone, gone without a trace
Babylon craving in lucidity
Babylon the fire will remain
And the sun races from their memory
Where the dark had cyphered in the sky
And the flames burning their lucidity
Babylon, rise up to the night
Oh, let us wander
Let us wander between the worlds
We override their principles
Abrogate horizons
[Verse 15]
Abandon mental gravity
Oh, we overrule the eye
Compromise your sanity
To heaven
To hell
