[Verse 1]

Please, could you stay awhile to share my grief

For it's such a lovely day

To have to always feel this way

And the time that I will suffer less

Is when I never have to wake


[Chorus]

Wandering stars, for whom it is reserved

The blackness, the darkness, forever

Wandering stars, for whom it is reserved

The blackness, the darkness, forever


[Verse 2]

Those who have seen the needle's eye, now tread

Like a husk, from which all that was, now has fled

And the masks that the monsters wear

To feed, upon their prey


[Chorus]

Wandering stars, for whom it is reserved

The blackness, the darkness, forever

Wandering stars, for whom it is reserved

The blackness, the darkness, forever


[Verse 3]

Doubled up inside

Take a while to share my grief

Always doubled up inside

Taunted, cruel


[Chorus]

Wandering stars, for whom it is reserved

The blackness, the darkness, forever

Wandering stars, for whom it is reserved

The blackness, the darkness, forever
