Chasing after what is lost.
Life will be your deadly cost.
Those who seek it never find, but greed and lust aren't far behind.
To find a thing so very rare.
Your worldly things you must lay bare.
For risking life for those you love.
In chivalry, and honesty.
These things i never warant thee, but in its acts, it sets you free.
For me and mine, an endless fight.
A fight for life, and love, and right.
In such a way the stars that fall, are like the dreams I dreamt so tall.
And looking back, i miss those days.
When reality had never played.
I wished, I hoped, I ever prayed.
To find my self among the stars.
Where i could fly both near and far.
