The North Star Lyrics

The North Star was put in place to guide us home

Sailing on the seas of mystery and exploration

Condemnation for those who do not listen

To the words that were said

On the day of the invention

On the day of the suspension of the dead

The dead, whose only violation had been

To scream for a reason why

They cannot survive

Or dream of a little more bread

They sacrificed everything so that

We might be fed by the light of reason

By the source of what is right and true

You know what to do; follow the North Star

It will take you far, but it will not take you all the way

That is left to you to finish the job

Look into the past

Where everything lasts

And tell me what you see

There is a dream

That has not come to pass

Because sacrifices made

Depend on the choices

Of you and me

So do your best tonight

To come alive and fight

For the dream that we share

Is worth a harder plot

The soil on which we build

And the toil of our guild

Will not be lost in the dark

Or else everything will be lost

And all will have been for naught

All it takes is for one of us to find the way

To the heart of today, where the hearth

Is pumping a black and poisoned stew

That shall be replaced by everything we do

Or continue to breed lies that spread throughout

The disguise of indifference

And freedom to do as we please

Without consequence for our beliefs

Without consequence for our actions

That damn us all to this situation

That we find ourselves in now

Where the world is slipping away

And the insanity of people today

Leads us to believe that nothing can be done

And the way is lost, although

It was with us all along

Conscience is your friend

But my friend, it is so much more than that

I hope that you'll see that it was essential

To our survival in the end

The North Star was put in place to guide us home

Sailing on the seas of perfection and desolation

Exaltation, for those who do not listen to the words

That were said on the day of the suspension

On the day of the resurrection of the dead

The dead, whose only violation had been to scream for a reason

Why they cannot survive or dream of a little more bread

They sacrificed everything so that we might be fed

By the light of reason, by the source of what is right and true

We know what to do; follow the North Star

It will take us far, but it will not take us all the way

That is left to us to finish the job

I am a creature of the light, and I cannot stand the sight

Of a world that's forgotten the sacrifices made

So that we might be here today

So that we might continue the way

To a sacred place here on Earth

Where everyone is saved, and no one has to beg

For forgiveness, when they've done nothing wrong

Except try to sing for justice to be done

There is another task that's been set out for you

To accomplish anything at all, you must discover

The lives of the righteous ones who died for being true

To the cause that was set forth before them

Look into the past

Where everything lasts

And tell me what you see

There is a dream

That has not come to pass

Because sacrifices made

Depend on the choices

Of you and me

So do your best tonight

To come alive and fight

For the dream that we share

Is worth a harder plot

The soil on which we build

And the toil of our guild

Will not be lost in the dark

Or else everything will be lost

And all will have been for naught
