Lyrics SRT:

1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:10,000
[Intro]
[instrumental]

2
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:16,500
[Chorus]
Stars ignite, a cosmic dance,
Worlds collide in fiery trance.

3
00:00:16,500 --> 00:00:22,000
Earth dissolves, a burning pyre,
Lost to ash, consumed by fire!

4
00:00:22,000 --> 00:00:27,000
But above the ruin, cold and bright,
The stars endure, eternal light.

5
00:00:27,000 --> 00:00:32,500
[Verse 1]
Vaulted heights, a sapphire dream,
Notes cascade, a surging stream.

6
00:00:32,500 --> 00:00:38,000
My hands entwined, a frantic plea,
Lost in sound, I cease to be.

7
00:00:38,000 --> 00:00:44,000
Tears well up, a blinding grace,
Swept away in time and space.

8
00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:49,000
[Verse 2]
The earth it cracks, the mountains fall,
A fiery torrent answers all.

9
00:00:49,000 --> 00:00:55,000
Sea turns flame, a roaring tide,
My music swells, nowhere to hide!

10
00:00:55,000 --> 00:01:00,000
Stars above, a solemn show,
As worlds collapse below.

11
00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:05,500
[Bridge]
A cry ascends, a feathered plea,
Lost and lonely, wild and free.

12
00:01:05,500 --> 00:01:11,000
Despair echoes through the void,
A shattered world, destroyed, devoid.

13
00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:17,000
Then light descends, a gentle ray,
Calling forth a brighter day.

14
00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:22,000
Vaulted heights, a sapphire dream,
Notes cascade, a surging stream.

15
00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:27,500
My hands entwined, a frantic plea,
Lost in sound, I cease to be.

16
00:01:27,500 --> 00:01:33,000
Tears well up, a blinding grace,
Swept away in eternal light.

17
00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:38,500
[Verse 4]
The earth it cracks, the mountains fall,
Each step he takes on hallowed ground.

18
00:01:38,500 --> 00:01:44,000
Pulse and breath, a measured beat,
A diary of longing, bittersweet.

19
00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:50,000
No word escapes, no secret shown,
The keeper's duty, silently known.

20
00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:55,500
[Verse 5]
The Club of Sons, a gilded cage,
Lost in laughter, on life's bright stage.

21
00:01:55,500 --> 00:02:01,000
A girl appears, with eyes so pure,
A vision fleeting, I can't secure!

22
00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:07,000
Children gather, grey and frail,
Whispering words that pierce the veil...

23
00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:12,000
[Bridge]
"Look at them," the echoes cry,
“Your brothers lost beneath the sky.”

24
00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:17,500
The mask falls down, a painted face,
A hollow emptiness in its place.

25
00:02:17,500 --> 00:02:22,500
[Verse 6]
Efficiency reigns, a measured pace,
Machines demand their rightful space.

26
00:02:22,500 --> 00:02:28,000
Humanity fades, a fleeting spark,
Driven onward by the endless dark.

27
00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:34,000
To take delight in work alone,
Is all that's needed to be known.

28
00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:50,000
[Outro]
You… you… you…
The stars remain, indifferent and cold,
A story lost, forever untold.

29
00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:56,000
Wings take flight,
The stars remain, indifferent and cold,

30
00:02:56,000 --> 00:03:00,000
A story lost, forever untold.

31
00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:20,000
You…
The stars remain, indifferent and cold,

32
00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:25,000
A story lost, forever untold.
