Of Stars And Smoke - Candlemass

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»
