Starlit Last Stand

(aaah) Torches burn beyond the glass

Names are called into the dark

They pinned a number to my chest

Said board at dawn and face the black

My mother folded up my coat

My father looked and then looked back

My lover pressed her trembling hand

Upon the life we have not seen

I carry all their quiet hopes

Into a war between the stars

If I fall where no

sun reaches Hold my name where home still breathes

(ya no rai)

(ya

no rai) Send our hearts across the silence Through the fire,

through the blue

If we never touch the doorway

Let our love come home to you

Raise a song above the cannons For the ones we leave in

view

(sa ra no) (sa ra

no) Metal blooms against the void Red alarms and shattered light Tell

my child I heard their future Calling through the longest night (dor

ah kai) (dor ah kai) Send our hearts across the silence

Through the fire, through the blue

If we never touch the doorway

Let our love come home to you

Raise a song above the cannons For the ones we leave in

view

We are more than ash and orders We are vows that travel

through (aaah)

Keep a place beside the table

Till the stars release our names
