"Starchildren" lyrics - BRUCE DICKINSON

I came from nothing before nothing began
Broke the window of existence and became a man
No sympathy for fools, my star is black and burned
I tilt toward the light, I suck your souls into my might

We are starchildren, coming out of nowhere and to nowhere return
Starchildren, a hundred million souls sucked out in one breath

I shiver at the threshold of your waking hour
The knowledge that you seek is my source of power
I live apart from you, but I know the things you do
No angel can save you how?
You don't need a god, coz I'm here now

I am starchildren, coming out of nowhere and to nowhere return
Starchildren, a hundred million souls snuffed out in one breath

Do I fulfill your deepest need for prophecy?
I am the ruler that you seek, so come to me
Come to me

We are starchildren, coming out of nowhere and to nowhere return
Starchildren, a hundred million souls snuffed out in one breath
Starchildren, I'm the ruler of existence in your space and time
Starchildren, to penetrate your future is my only crime
Star...
