Starchildren

Bruce Dickinson

I came from nothing before nothing began


Broke the window of existence and became a man


No sympathy for fools, my star is black and burned


I tilt toward the light, I suck your souls into my might





We are starchildren, coming out of nowhere and to nowhere return


Starchildren, a hundred million souls sucked out in one breath





I shiver at the threshold of your waking hour


The knowledge that you seek is my source of power


I live apart from you, but I know the things you do


No angel can save you – how?


You don't need a god, 'cause I'm here now





I am starchildren, coming out of nowhere and to nowhere return


Starchildren, a hundred million souls snuffed out in one breath





Do I fulfill your deepest need for prophecy?


I am the ruler that you seek, so come to me


Come to me





We are starchildren, coming out of nowhere and to nowhere return


Starchildren, a hundred million souls snuffed out in one breath


Starchildren, I'm the ruler of existence in your space and time


Starchildren, to penetrate your future is my only crime


Star...
