(Verse 1) The wind moves slow across the plains Where no one comes and no one stays The ruins sleep beneath the grass And centuries of silence pass No footsteps break the ancient ground No voices make a single sound Just the whisper of the dying light And the slow descent of the endless night (Pre-chorus) But when the sun gives up its throne And the darkness claims what it has known A thousand lights begin to wake Over the lands that time forsake (Chorus) Stars over forgotten lands, burning bright Watching over empires lost to the night They don't ask for names, they don't ask for prayers They just keep shining through the layers Of dust and bone and broken kings They see the truth that the silence brings Stars over forgotten lands, you are free To witness what the world forgot to be (Verse 2) A temple stood where the wildflowers grow The priests are gone, but the stars still know The songs they sang, the blood they spilled The promises that fate unfulfilled A caravan crossed this desert road With gold and silk and a heavy load Now the sand has taken every track But the stars remember, and they don't look back (Pre-chorus) The empires crumble, the cities fall The mighty hear the silent call But above it all, the lights remain Unmoved by glory, untouched by pain (Chorus) Stars over forgotten lands, burning bright Watching over empires lost to the night They don't ask for names, they don't ask for prayers They just keep shining through the layers Of dust and bone and broken kings They see the truth that the silence brings Stars over forgotten lands, you are free To witness what the world forgot to be (Bridge – contemplative) I lie beneath this endless dome And feel the weight of being alone But not in sorrow, not in fear For the stars have whispered, "You are here" "You are a flicker, brief and small But you are part of it all The forgotten lands, the ancient skies The light that never truly dies" I trace the constellations old And listen to the stories told In every twinkle, every gleam A memory of a forgotten dream (Instrumental break – strings and piano, swelling like the Milky Way) (Final chorus – epic, soaring) Stars over forgotten lands, blazing high You see the birth and you see the goodbye You watched the rise, you watched the fall And you still shine over it all No throne survives, no crown endures But your light is forever pure Stars over forgotten lands, hear my plea Remember that I was here, and remember me (Outro – spoken softly, as if to the stars) "When I am dust and memory fades…" "Will you still shine over these blades of grass?" "Will you remember the one who looked up?" "And saw forever in your light?" [Gentle strings, a soft wind, then fading into silence]
