Lyrics

[Verse 1]
There, out in the darkness
A fugitive running
Fallen from grace
Fallen from grace
God be my witness
I never shall yield
Till we come face to face
Till we come face to face
[Verse 2]
He knows his way in the dark
But mine is the way of the Lord
Those who follow the path of the righteous
Shall have their reward
And if they fall, as Lucifer fell
The flame, the sword
[Verse 3]
Stars
In your multitude
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
[Verse 4]
You know your place in the sky
You hold your course and your aim
Each in your season returns and returns
And is always the same
And if you fall, as Lucifer fell
You fall in flame
[Verse 5]
And so it has been, and so it's written
On the doorways to paradise
That those who falter and those who fall
Must pay the price
[Verse 6]
Scarce to be counted
Changing the chaos
To order and light
You are the sentinels
Silent and sure
Keeping watch in the night
Keeping watch in the night
