Highest Star Songtext
von Amorphis

Under the vault of heavens I stood alone waiting
The blaze of silver shining in my eyes
My hands of gleaming gold
The red of iron in my veins
The blue of steel in my bones
The sparkle of blackness of coal in my hair
My chest golden with waves

It is my heaven!
It has my eyes!
It is my space!
It has my shape!

I knew it was my masterwork!
(I felt the strength of gods!)
Revised the soaring heights!
(Let the heavens be aligned!)
Heavens be aligned!


I listened with care the place for the moon
Made sure of the tones
Painted through void the route for the Sun
Made out the locus of stars
I pierced the distant dome for the light to seep through
I checked the curves of borders of all and placed the highest star

It is my heaven!
It has my eyes!
It is my space!
It has my shape!

It worked and sun and danced!
(It shone and gloved and gleaned!)
It circled, curved and blazed!
(It pulsed, burned and waned!)
Burned and waned!

It flowed from my bones
Bolted from my fingers
And settled on and over me
And made me face my longing!
