And now the final curtain
Turn your eyes up to the light
She with venom tongue, moves oceans
Pulls you out into the fight
And here you lie with belly open
With the lions round the flame
Who, with tender jaw unbroken
Drag you out into the plains
On that starry day
On that starry day
Iron melted into ivy
Take your body to the land
Pile the small upon the mighty
Bring the moon down where you stand
Backwards now you dance to freedom
Lift your gutted lungs and sing
Break you now into the season
Lift your gutted lungs and sing
On that starry day
On that starry day
You kiss ground and hear it rumble
You find beauty in the nerve
See the proud bow to the humble
And sink their feet into the earth
Backwards now with blade and beacon
Lift your gutted lungs and sing
Break you now into the season
Lift your gutted lungs and sing
On that starry day
On that starry day
