Star Sky – English Lyrics

• By: Two Steps From Hell

Lyrics & Translation

Dive into the sweeping world of orchestral epic music with 'Star Sky.' While primarily instrumental, paying attention to the powerful choral arrangements offers a unique way to experience how emotional narratives are built through sound and classical vocal techniques rather than just words.

[English]

Here we are

Riding the sky

Painting the night with sun

You and I, Mirrors of light

Twin flames of fire

Lit in another time and place

I knew your name

I knew your face

Your love and grace

Past and present now embrace

Worlds collide in inner space

Unstoppable, the song we play

Burn the page for me

I cannot erase the time of sleep

I cannot be loved so set me free

I cannot deliver your love

Or caress your soul so

turn that page for me

I cannot embrace the touch that you give

I cannot find solace in your words

I cannot deliver you your love

or caress your soul

Age to age

I feel the call

Memory of future dreams

You and I, riding the sky

Keeping the fire bright

From another time and place

I know your name

I know your face

Your touch and grace

All of time can not erase

What our hearts remember stays

Forever on a song we play

Burn the page for me

I cannot erase the time of sleep

I cannot be loved so set me free

I cannot deliver your love

Or caress your soul so

turn that page for me

I cannot embrace the touch that you give

I cannot find solace in your words

I cannot deliver you your love

or caress your soul
