lyrics

The lights in the sky shine bright tonight
All the new human faces are born with a distinct fright
Looking up to see this magnificent creation
Stars seem brighter than before

The sky looks like an extension of the ocean
With multiple shades of blue
An intergalactic road for sea creatures to roam free
Between any planet of their choosing
The bioluminescent skies are home to the vagabond that has no planet to settle on

Selling treasures of what comes and goes
A well lit path to a new land
The path is long and lasts what seems to be a life time
So grab a neck and squeeze

For one to thrive within this new life style
Run away from intimate danger and hope for a sanctuary
Millions of years have passed since the spawn of life
Please tell me you're ready
I'm not one to appreciate someone who is fashionably late
I gave you life just to take it away

Follow the northern star in the sky
It will lead you to me
The stars in the sky illuminate
The sign of life that is falling away
propelling into the next transition of time
The light twinkles
until the flame dwindles

Until the flame dies
There are billions of stars I set free
Everything that exists is now in my dominion
You're welcome for giving back what I had taken
Mass extinction

This time the game will change
Humans will undergo a new threat
Falling beneath the chain of the apex
Straight to those in dire need of survival

This is emerging the hope from the bowels
Of the that I have hidden away
So stare into the stars for hope
Find every constellation of me in the sky
Works of art of the great conquest
Acquires the squid
A symbol of the first coming in the sea
The crab cancer for the disease I spread on land

Pisces for the creatures of the sea that fought along with me
Aries the ram to symbolize my deed of colliding the planets
The Gemini, the symbol for the twins
the pair of flying fish hooks
And finally Virgo the virgin
For this new universe

that has not yet seen the wrath
For the skies are filled with hope, knowledge, and life
One step out of line, I'll take it all away
I'll take it all away again
