“WHERE THE SKIES END” is the second single from Starset’s new album DIVISIONS. Before release, teasers [transmissions] were uploaded, with the last pre-single transmission being a phone number you could call to hear a preview.
[Intro]
In a restless search for new opportunities and new ways of living
The mystery and the promise of distant horizons
Always have called men forward
[Verse 1]
We are the lost and the silent
We are the shackled and small
We're looking up at the giants
We're going to watch when they fall
[Pre-Chorus]
Do you hear me?
You're a Goliath to me
I'll be there when the bombs unfurl
'Till the war is over
Lay your burdens on me
I can bear all the weight of the world
With you on my shoulders
[Chorus]
We won’t just fall away
We weren't just born to fade
Our stories are past the horizon
We're chasing the sun till we find them
Goodbye to what we made
No matter anyway
We're climbing until we transcend
Higher, higher
To where the skies end
[Verse 2]
These aren't the dreams of our fathers
There'll be no wishing on stars
We are the sons and the daughters
Let them come test who we are
[Pre-Chorus]
Can you hear me?
You're a Goliath to me
I'll be there when the guns break out
'Till the storm is over
Lay your burdens on me
I'll be there when your fate runs out
You'll be on my shoulders
[Chorus]
We won’t just fall away
We weren't just born to fade
Our stories are past the horizon
We're chasing the sun till we find them
Goodbye to what we made
No matter anyway
We're climbing until we transcend
Higher, higher
To where the skies end
[Bridge]
We left our chains
We left them below
We are all rising above
We were not born to stay low
Show me your strength
It's more than you know
You'll never know what you're made of
Until you set foot down the road
We knew this day
Was set long ago
And when the sharks smell the blood
They will all see it's their own (Own, own, own, own)
[Chorus]
We won’t just fall away
We weren't just born to fade
Our stories are past the horizon
We're chasing the sun till we find them
Goodbye to what we made
No matter anyway
We're climbing until we transcend
Higher, higher
To where the skies end
[Outro]
In a search that has continued for centuries
Some far distant view
With this promise of the unseen
And it's promise of the unknown
Has forever fathered the impulse
To seek for new things in new places
New horizons
User 34739, your battery's low
Your battery's low
Shutting down
