they are the seven stars
beyond the horizon
forever beyond reach

they are harbingers of evil
they are omens of joy

they are a sign from the gods
they are the imagination of mortals

forever beyond reach
they are the seven stars
beyond the horizon

they are tales of the past
they are portents of the future

they inspire stories and legends
as bright as the heavens
and as dark as the night

my destiny lies
beyond the horizon
among the seven stars
