lyrics

Let them speak
We know all our enemies
Like they walk along their darkened aisles
With veils pulled down they like to hide and

Trickling through the cracks
The rain upon their beaten paths and
Unlike us, they sink within their lust

We are like stars and we burn so bright,
We can never die

Spinning of the tracks
Build structures that can never last and
To conform
They wear the smile they've always worn and

Fire in our chest
We live only on our behest and
In the vein of all we chase
We judge them from our hiding place and

We are like stars and we burn the sky, we can never die and
There is all this energy that feeds on our integrity and us
And soon we burn away
Soon we have nothing to say and
Let another black hole form
We explode inside a colour storm and

We'll be sick like them and
We'll be held apart and
We won't burn anything
They will quench every spark and

We will wear the veils and
Walk in clothes we've never worn so
We must keep our pride and
We must never die and

If I lose my only kin
You know our enemies will win and
Burn the truth and twist our minds and
Sell our star-dust by the line and

We are like stars and we
Burn so bright, we can never die

So let's never die.
