Stars Beyond the Last Call

(ooh) Far from the fields that taught my

name They wrote our numbers in a winter hall

Pinned our lives beneath a foreign star

My mother smiled like she could hold

the storm

My father stood there quiet by the car

My lover traced the future on my hand

A child not born already in my heart

If I break

across the dark tonight Will their voices find me through the fire

If I fall where no one says my name Carry me inside

the

signal choir We go where the black sky opens wide For the

ones we love, for the ones we leave

behind Hold the line,

hold the light, through the burning night If we do not return,

sing

our names into the

stars Za-rin oh na,

za-rin ah Lo-vae so ra,

lo-vae ah Engines shake the letters in my chest Metal rain across

the outer frame Every flash could be the final breath Still we

answer when they call our names Through the glass I see the

planets turn

Small as vows we made before the dawn

(ah) Fire on

the rim and fire below

I can hear home in the static glow Sa no re,

sa no ra If I vanish,

let my child know love We are dust and promise in the

blue

Take us home in memory (ooh)
