Bruce Dickinson › Lyrics › Starchildren

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
