Lyrics[]
I see they've drugged you with their morals
I see they've sold you to their slave raids
Well, bite the hand that feeds you
Pledge to die on your face
Live on your knees
A star, a star in a wind
A star, a star in a winter's day
Now let's ride through the scarred shores
Through a blazing dawn, a desperate sunset
Let's bright scattering moon shadows
With a powerful dream
To keep us still
A star, a star in a wind
A star, a star in a winter's day
They cannot touch the earth
They cannot touch your heart
They cannot touch the earth
And I'm cursed to touch your heart
