Dark Sky Sanctuary Lyrics

Constellations overhead
As dreams, so far away
Edge of night is shining bright
Enough to light my way
Far away from sorrow
Far away from home
Across obscure horizons
Where secret paths are known

To gaze upon the ancient dance of light
Cast through deep infinities
To rest at last in quiet dignity
Here among the sighing trees

They told me there was nothing left to see
Nothing left to learn
The sleeping sky reveals the lie
Where a billion stars serenely burn

In dark sky sanctuary
One last refuge from the world
Under the shield of stars
Great mysteries unfurled

Beyond the self
Beyond all mundane needs
Adrift upon the stellar sea
On starwinds borne
To fall at last on me
The open sky, where I yearn to be

Far away from sorrow
Far away from home
Across obscure horizons
Where secret paths are known

To dream across the endless gulf
To contemplate the vast
To comprehend the grandeur, where awe awaits
To be revealed at last

Enrapt as the stars fall
Overhead as dreams, so far away
