Star Kings : Distant Flashes

Alex Magnusson, Эдмонд Гамильтон Star Kings : Distant Flashes * * * * ...Static fills the air tonight... ...Tonight, tonight... Watching screens that burn so bright... I see him staring at the wall, Numbers dancing, rising, fall, His hands are shaking as he tries To make sense of the burning skies. There’s something in the way he stands, Like lightning running through his hands - He can’t look away, can’t look away From all the light that tears apart; He can’t look away, can’t look away - The fire’s written on his heart... ...Away, away... Another flash across the screen - The brightest thing he’s ever seen. I watch him hold his breath and wait As colors seal another’s fate. There’s terror in the way he stares, Like thunder echoing in the air - He can’t look away, can’t look away From all the light that tears apart; He can’t look away, can’t look away - The fire’s written on his heart... ...Away, away... Ohhhhh, ohhhhh The silence between the storms... Ohhhhh, ohhhhh He’s breaking but he holds on... ...On and on and on... He can’t look away, can’t look away From beauty born of falling stars; He can’t look away, can’t look away - Now distance feels like healing scars. ...Away, away... Static fades but he remains... ...Remains, remains... Counting all the burning flames...
