Star of the Age

When you are lost

You climb to the firing range

Without a lantern in your life

But the star of the age

And in the bright flash

An emptiness burns away

You trade the darkness of your mind

For the star of the age

Surging away from the tower’s embrace

You race like a tiger

Relentlessly lashing the days

And leave, in the wake of our wandering lives

The signs we are aging

The houses we drowned in the lake

While a shining world

Believes that, inside of days

All the darkness of our lives

will meet the star of the age

While the buildings fall

In silence and reverie

Among the islands of our minds

Among the stars of the age

Oh shining world!

Where nothing is happening

But what is in our minds:

The swelling stars of the age

But still, my love

The only relieving light

In the spinning darkness of our lives

Is when I see you again

In the moonlight

In the starlight

In the sunlight

And I believe it again
