Candlemass
Of Stars and Smoke
[Verse 1]
This 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."
[Refrain]
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 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."
[Guitar Solo]
[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."
[Refrain]
Of stars and smoke
Of stars and smoke
Stars and smoke
