Copernicus Lyrics by Candlemass

Candlemass

2005

[Verse 1]
Our names are written on the stars on Heaven's tree
Yes, nine by nine they die, just like you and me
These peerless eyes look down, giving us our choices
Each one calls out, a universe of voices

[Verse 2]
These are the ancient fathers, the laws that binds us all
White jewels of mystery, mirrors for our souls
They spoke of life and death, love and history
Today, the stars are for fools and vanity

[Verse 3]
And there's Orion, and there's the Zodiac
If you look close, they're needles in a stack
And you saw in your telescope on Earth
Copernicus, the order of the worlds

[Chorus]
Evening caress
Always yearning
I must confess
The stars aren't burning

Copernicus

[Verse 4]
The sky is full of shining crosses for our sins
Each one, a monument for what ends and what begins
Small emerald satellites, orbiting so fast
Will they be gone tomorrow, just like painted glass?

[Verse 5]
If I had wishes, I would shout to you and scream
But now I realize, you're like young, dying streams
I'm in the real world with people, crises, and scars
Copernicus, I don't care about your stars

[Chorus]
Evening caress
Always yearning
I must confess
The stars aren't burning

Copernicus
