that star is following me home
how far will we go along?
will it warm my cold dark doorstep
and help me find the way?
will it bound upon my rooftop
and peer at me from my windowsill?
i would invite you in

would it purr underneath my covers
and keep away the long dark night?
without you my house is full of nightmares
and the shades of people who cannot love
will you guard me from my window
and peek at me between the dancing leaves?
i hold open my door for you
are you coming in?

would this star follow me home?
without you i am quite alone
without you it is always night
i can't see without your light
we would whisper each other secrets
you would guard over my dreams

That star is following me home
How far have I come?

We leave behind us
A sea of fire
The past is burning

We see behind us
Kingdoms crumble
Ages to rubble
Only us standing

And the future ain't a promise but it tells no lies
The past has no place for us
Society has betrayed us
Leave dust and ash and take off; leave a world behind

The path that led us to meet across the ages is our proof
Your hand, in mine, this instant is the only truth
Even if the future is denied me
Even with my enemies behind me
You won't take away my power to create my own destiny

This is us, and this is ours
Our hands entwined, at destiny's hour
We weren't wrong and we won't fall
For we are already
Immortals

You are my only shooting star
The song of your name burns my heart
You rule over my fantasies
The heavens conspired for us to meet

I see you run silently your heavenly dance
Your faraway light is my providence
I should like to touch your hand
But I won't tear you down
My shooting star, keep flying on

Scorch the skies in your falling and burn away the tracks of time
The stars have waited for this moment, fragment of the grand design
You touch the faces of constellations while I am ever bound to earth
No matter how far away I wait, no matter how long I have to pray
Our desires will endure

You are my only shooting star, run your circuit across the night
Your flame exhausted in an instant, forbiddingly fleeting, eternally bright
You wouldn't have it any other way
Your memory will never fade
The chorus of a thousand stars will remember you by your light

— The End —
