Copernicus Lyrics - Candlemass - Candlemass

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 

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 

And there's Orion and there's a Zodiac 

If you look close, they're needles in the stack 

And you saw in your telescope on earth 

Copernicus, the order of the worlds 

Evening caress always yearning 

I must confess the stars aren't burning 

Copernicus 

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? 

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 

Evening caress always yearning 

I must confess the stars aren't burning 

Copernicus
