I lost my love on Faraday On Faraday she went away And I’d walk round the Outer Rim Until I find my heart again
I walked a shattered desert road below a dying sun I wandered through the forest and I put not one foot wrong I stepped from star to star across this lonely spiral arm And I’mma keep on walking so I see you come no harm
They say we all are come from nothing And to nothing we’ll return And I’ll cross the skies from dawn til night Until I find my home They say we all are made of ashes And to ashes we’ll return And I’ll cross these skies til you I find Til then I walk alone
I crawled into the cracks that split the faces of the gods I climbed the Mirror’s Edge until my hands were wet with blood I walked across the waters of a phosphorescent sea I looked into the Whirlpool and it looked right back at me
They say we all are come from nothing And to nothing we’ll return And I’ll cross the skies from dawn til night Until I find my home They say we all are made of ashes And to ashes we’ll return And I’ll cross these skies til you I find Til then I walk alone
I lost my love on Faraday On Faraday she went away And I’d walk round the Outer Rim Until I find my heart again
I’m running out of food and fuel and oxygen and luck I thought I’d find redemption but it looks like now I’m stuck But I look out my porthole and see newborn stars a-shining And I don’t care how long it takes, I’m gonna make you mine
I’ve heard we all are made of stardust And to starlight we will burn Till then I know that I am flesh and blood I know…
They say we all are made of ashes And to ashes we’ll return And I’ll cross the skies from dawn til night Until I find my home
They say we all are come from nothing And one day we’ll all be gone I know one day I’ll find you by my side Til then I’m on my own
