From the recording Step Up (2011)
Lyrics
Eternal Star
Words & Music by Dave Nachmanoff
Pass the torch and feed the flame
Things will never be the same
That all consuming need for change
Eclipses our traditions
Without air the fire dies
Drowning in a wave of lies
The ancient valleys, lakes and skies
Reflect our sad conditions
CHORUS:
Eternal light, shining so bright
Forever glowing
Eternal star, from where you are
Can you foresee where we are going?
Soon there may be nothing more
A vacant house with hardwood floors
And a passkey hanging from the door
The empty windows staring
Irradiated soot and ash
Sonic boom, unholy flash
The buzzing quiet aftermath
The arid landscape barren
(CHORUS x 2)
(eternal star, eternal star)
