"Of Stars And Smoke" lyrics

"Of Stars And Smoke"

The monumental sleep
With the sunrise at my feet
Where's the altar of the gods,
The wrath and the floods?

All is in vain

Of stars and of smoke I am
Of shade and of light
With dragons in every hand
I'm wading through life

From nothing I came before,
To nothing I go
I heard that wise man said:
"From presence to silence...we flow"

The rainbows in the sky
Soon their colours die
I see the birds of prey
They've been circling here all day

It's always the same

We live the eternal dream
The big and cosmic scheme
A part that we all play
To stand the last of days

It's all just a game

Of stars and of smoke I am
Of shade and of light
With dragons in every hand
I'm wading through life

From nothing I came before,
To nothing I go
I heard that the wise man said:
"From presence to silence...we flow"
