The Sun, The Moon, The Star

Long been complacent with the hand I've been dealt Restless and weak, from the life that I've built So I'll journey afar, for there's glory to find And I'll fill out my entry in the annals of time Bid my farewell to the ones that I love Their grief but a fleeting feeling For nature is calling, my heart compelled Every branch, every leaf, has a story to tell Fear is swirling within me A tightening grip on my heart In a world where nothing is certain The fear of failure looms large No room for these doubts I'll cast them away And take up my father's sword History favors the daring Only the brave will receive the eternal reward Will you be here ready to guide me? When I must leave this dream behind me A beacon of hope, but fading away I have to let that light die Let it die Mother, father, sister I'm sorry for what I've done But the man I've become Is no longer content With comfort and home Cold is the wind that chills me down to my bones And cold is the knowledge that for this I abandoned my home Cold is my sorrow, like a knife in my chest And cold is the path that I chose For what worth can be found in glory in the lands that I roam Raise your eyes Cast your gaze high And forget your sorrows Cold is the wind that chills me down to my bones And cold is the knowledge that for this I abandoned my home Cold is my sorrow, like a knife in my chest And cold is the path that I walk But I carry those memories close to my heart And remember them fondly when I gaze at The sun, the moon, the stars So we'll find our dreams fade in time Oh-o-o-oh, in time our dreams leave us blind Leave us blind By moonlight and starlight Those shadows led me astray Take comfort in darkness Hide me away from the light Hide with me from the light my child I'll show you another way Burn away your sorrow in the cleansing fire of power Colors swirling around me Shifting landscapes obey my every command But still I don't possess the power to fill the emptiness Swallow and take what you thought you were meant to be Reconcile it with who you are Another lesson learned in time, but oh, you'll find You don't know what you want 'til it's gone I've hailed to the cosmic masters I've walked the astral plane and traveled to distant worlds Time like a river flows The one thing I don't have the power to change The only thing that matters Mother, father, sister I'm sorry for what I've done For the man I've become Finally knows the true power in home A broken legacy A tale of tragedy Take heed my friends The path of pain isn't always The means to the end you seek By moonlight and starlight I turn my gaze to the sky The sun, the moon, the stars Shine less brightly with you so far I never knew sorrow 'Til you asked me to follow my heart For all the tales I told 'Bout these whispers of silver and gold I'd throw them all away To gaze on your face once more One more time The sun, the moon, the stars Shine less brightly with you so far I never knew sorrow 'Til you asked me to follow my heart For all the tales I told And these whispers of silver and gold I'd throw them all away To gaze on your face once more One more time (The sun, the moon, the stars shine less brightly with you so far) With his burning brand, he split the skies (I never knew sorrow 'til you asked me to follow my heart) And blocked out the stars, one by one (For all the tales I told and these whispers of silver and gold) With an aching heart, he cursed his name (I'd throw them all away to gaze on your face once more) And nothing would shine as bright as her again
