Starship Trooper Lyrics

I. Life Seeker

[Verse 1]
Sister bluebird flying high above
Shine your wings forward to the sun
Hide the myst'ries of life on your way
Though you've seen them, please don't say a word
What you don't know, I have never heard

[Verse 2]
Starship trooper, go sailing on by
Catch my soul, catch the very light
Hide the moment from my eager eye
Though you've seen there, please don't tell a soul
What you can't see, can't be very whole

[Chorus]
Speak to me of summer
Long winters longer than time can remember
The setting up of other roads
To travel on in old accustomed ways
I still remember the talks by the water
The proud sons and daughter
That knew the knowledge of the land
Spoke to me in sweet accustomed ways

[Verse 3]
Mother life, hold firmly on to me
Catch my knowledge higher than the day
Lose as much as only you can show
Though you've seen me, please don't say a word
What I don't know, I have never shared

II. Disillusion

[Bridge]
Loneliness is a power that we
Possess to give or take away forever
All I know can be shown by your
Acceptance of the facts there shown before you
Take what I say in a different way
And it's easy to say that this is all confusion
As I see a new day in me
I can also show it you and you may follow

[Chorus]
Speak to me of summer
Long winters longer than time can remember
The setting up of other roads
To travel on in old accustomed ways
I still remember the talks by the water
The proud sons and daughter
That knew the knowledge of the land
Spoke to me in sweet accustomed ways

III. Würm

[Instrumental]
