Please could you stay awhile to share my grief,

To have to always feel this way,

& the time that I will suffer less,

Is when I never have to wake

Wandering stars,

For whom it is reserved,

The blackness of darkness, forever
(X2)
 
Am C F E7
Those who have seen the needles eye now tread,

Like a husk, from which all that was now has fled,
Am C F E7
& the masks, that the monsters wear,

To feed, upon their prey

Wandering stars,

For whom it is reserved,

The blackness of darkness, forever

Doubled up inside,

Take awhile to share my grief,

Always doubled up inside,

For whom it is reserved,
G E Am
The blackness of darkness, forever
