Candlemass
Of Stars and Smoke
[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus]
Of stars and of smoke, I am of shade and of light
With dragons in every hand, I'm fading through life
From nothing, I came before, to nothing, I go
I heard that wise man said "From presence to silence, we flow"

[Post-Chorus]
Of stars and smoke

[Verse 2]
The rainbows in the sky
Soon, their colors die
I see the birds of prey
They've been circling here, all day

It's always the same

[Chorus]
Of stars and of smoke, I am of shade and of light
With dragons in every hand, I'm fading through life
From nothing, I came before, to nothing, I go
I heard that wise man said "From presence to silence, we flow"
[Verse 3]
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

[Chorus]
Of stars and of smoke, I am of shade and of light
With dragons in every hand, I'm fading through life
From nothing, I came before, to nothing, I go
I heard that wise man said "From presence to silence, we flow"

[Post-Chorus]
Of stars and smoke
Of stars and smoke
Stars and smoke
