Stars

There, out in the darkness A fugitive running Fallen from God Fallen from grace God be my witness I never shall yield Till we come face to face Till we come face to face He knows his way in the dark But mine is the way of the Lord And those who follow the path of the righteous Shall have their reward And if they fall as Lucifer fell The flame, the sword Stars in your multitudes Scarce to be counted Filling the darkness With order and light You are the sentinels Silent and sure Keeping watch in the night Keeping watch in the night You know your place in the sky You hold your course and your aim And each in your season, returns and returns And is always the same And if you fall as Lucifer fell You fall in flame And so it must be for so it is written On the doorway to paradise That those who falter and those who fall Must pay the price And stars in your multitudes Lord, let me find him That I may see him Safe behind wrong I will never rest And just to share It's pleasures and belong It's pleasures and belong That's what I've been here for all along Each day, till then, this I swear This I swear by the stars By the stars By the stars Look down and see the beggars at your feet Look down and show some mercy if you can Look down and see the sweepings of the street Look down, look down upon your fellow man
