AMORPHIS - Highest Star lyrics

rate me

Under the vault of heavens

I stood alone, waiting

The blaze of silver shining in my eyes

My hands gleaming gold

The red of iron in my veins

The blue of steel in my bones

The sparkle and blackness of coal in my hair

My chest golden with waves

It is my heaven

It has my eyes

It is my space

It has my shape

I knew it was my masterwork

I felt the strength of gods

Revised the soaring heights

Let the heavens be aligned

Heavens be aligned

I listened with care the place for the moon

Made sure of the tones

Painted through void the route for the sun

Made out the locus of stars

I pierced the distant dome

For the light to seep through

I checked the curves and borders of all

And placed the highest star

It worked and sung and danced

It shone and gloved and gleaned

It circled, curved and blazed

It pulsed, burned and waned

Burned and waned

It flowed from my bones

Bolted from my fingers

And settled on and over me

And made me face my longing
