Stardust We Are Songtext

von The Flower Kings

Part I

Look for no tears in my eyes
Sing me no sweet lullaby
I made a heart of stone
I can call my own

Remember the days of the shoreline
The sun made the surfers go blind
Once painfully trapped between childhood and fame
Now that's my name

Someone please tear down the walls of this room
Don't leave me deaf-dumb in this silent cocoon
I gave my soul freely for a place in the sun
I know that I'm not the only one

Shadow flies, dead end of fame
Them neon lights spelling my name
And fear the day when light goes out
What's it all about?

The dust that once came to my eyes
Suddenly left me unwise
Painfully trapped between childhood and fame
That's a shame

Astray like a leaf in the rapids of time
Once touch the stars, then back to the grind
Back to the level where humans thread
Imploded back into my head

Someone please tear down the walls of this room
Don't leave me deaf-dumb in this silent cocoon
I gave my soul freely for a moment of truth
Like a servant and knight to the boot

See me, touch me, feel me, will I live forever?
Hold me, thrill me, in your love forever

Part II

Let me guide you to a world unknown
Kiss the frog and kiss the lizards throne

See them crawling out of dusty holes
Ghosts of yesterday, now twice as bold
Set the wheels in motion once again
Flames they change, the empire remain

Dare I dream of better days to come?
Have I precious statements still undone?
Will you follow me to stars unknown?
Or will I end up traveling alone?

Let me guide you to a world unknown
Kiss the frog and kiss the lizards throne
Teach me, tell me, will I live forever?

Part III

Now see how we fly so heavenly high
Swimming the ocean and spin' the stars
And so the great net will fall apart
So don't forget the human touch,
The word of mouth, this roundabout, we love so much

Now see how our thoughts are running free
Run for leader and semi God
And once again we pay in blood
So don't forget the human trial,
The cry of love, the spark of life, dance thru the fire

Stardust we are
Close to divine
Stardust we are
See how we shine

Sailed the sea, the moon and the stars
Build this window beneath the pool
Lend a hand to a drowning fool
See them saviours come so cheap
We loose our touch, and down we go, into the deep

Drivin' down the memory lane
Dusty dreams from a fading sun
Remember how the horses run
We played the stars, we walked the moon,
We burnt the rope, layed down the gun

Stardust we are
Close to divine
Stardust we are
See how we shine
