The Astronomer Lyrics

A storm washes upon my shores
Etching into the weathered cliffs
A salted scar of premonition
That drives me into unyielding winds, searching

A darkened horizon, an uncertain fate
Within the swirling tempest, I find my resolve

Compelled by unknown yearning
I seek its true name
Unmasked, an ally, no controller

Face yourself and your unknown;
The want that drags you in its wake
The struggle that you can’t escape
Face yourself, and yourself alone
Ignite the flame that will guide you
And lead you toward your home

No second chances, no alternate routes
Your spark is a fading star, soon forgotten and cold

Face yourself and your unknown;
The want that drags you in its wake
The struggle that you can’t escape
Face yourself, and yourself alone
Ignite the flame that will guide you
And lead you toward your home
