Eternal Constellations

Beyond the reach of sacred suns
Where ancient light forever runs
We drift like sparks from dying fires
Lost between our own desires

Cathedrals made of frozen flame
No one hears us, none to blame
A billion worlds, a thousand cries
Disappear in silent skies

Time devours every throne
Every legend carved in stone

Eternal constellations
Witness what we are
Glorious and broken
Dust beneath the stars

Galaxies like open graves
Wave above the lives we save
Beauty shining cold and far
Cruel the truths of what we are

Still we stand and still we try
Burning brief against the night

Eternal constellations
Witness what we are
Glorious and broken
Dust beneath the stars

If we vanish without trace
Will the dark recall our face?
In the endless turning dome
Were we ever more than stone?

Eternal constellations
Carry who we are
Nothing lasts forever
Except the stars
