Accident of Birth
Journey back to the dark side, back into the womb Back to where the spirits move like vapor from the tomb The center of the cyclone, blowing out the sun Break the shackles of your union to the light I might've had a brother As I was born, they dragged him under To the other side of twilight He's waiting for me now Nativity was lost on me I didn't ask, I couldn't see What created me? What and where and how? Welcome home - it's been too long, we've missed you Welcome home - we've opened up the gates Welcome home - to your brothers and sisters Welcome home - to an accident of birth Feel our bodies breathing as you try to stop believing There's nothing you can do about your shadows You can fight us, you are like us And your body will betray you Lay down and die like all the others Where are the angels and their wings of freedom? Jesus had his day off when they pulled you through... Welcome home - it's been too long, we've missed you Welcome home - we've opened up the gates Welcome home - to your brothers and sisters Welcome home - to an accident of birth ...to an accident of birth Vision's growing dim as the daylight fades away A spinning, twisting black hole - it's your dying day Welcome home - it's been too long, we've missed you Welcome home - we've opened up the gates Welcome home - to your brothers and sisters Welcome home - to an accident of birth Welcome home - it's been too long, we've missed you Welcome home - we've opened up the gates Welcome home - to your brothers and sisters Welcome home - to an accident of birth

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 towards 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...
Who stole your heartbeat in the night? The acolytes fearful in the flickering light They hold a mirror to catch the breath from your mouth But your breath was stolen by the wind from the south Another winter's tale is done Your immortal lover - he's gone The chalice stolen from her hand Eternal life at her command Now all that she rules must sleep... The howling shriek of death in your eyes The hawklord and the beast enter your room The gold will turn to rust Your empire follows you into your tomb The wraiths of night caress And whisper softly now, "We are the dead" They bear your life away They tear your heart in two They've taken the queen To some better place, so they think As the flame burns low Now the flame burns higher And it purifies the love that died stone rolls closed on a life Back to the earth, sealing the tomb Our skeletons rise through the veil of blood Who summons us now from our graves? "We are the dead" The shriek of death in your eyes The hawklord and the beast enter your room The wraiths of night caress And whisper softly now, "We are the dead" They bear your life away They've torn your heart in two They've taken the queen
