Friend I’ve never had

Never, never had

Friend I’ve never had

Never, never….

You’ve been hiding for a long time in the shadows

I’ve heard your calling but I took you for a ghost

In the land of living, I always turned away

Pretending to live and wanting to walk Death’s way.

But you wouldn’t leave me, you’d show up in my mind

Jumping dimensions and skipping space and time

Urging me to go on, defying life and death

In guiding my survival, you’re the friend I’ve never had

I will follow you as you follow your stars

I care not for your sins

I will give you faith until my dying hour

You became my lifeline

My fallen star, my fallen star, my fallen star

I’m your earthbound soul

Earthbound soul

I’ve lived a life of silence, quiet as the grave

Obeying the drunkard I was forced to take

They called him my husband but I was not his wife

I was his silent slave, fearing for my life

I wanted to put poison in his dinner bowl

But I could not take his murder burdening my soul

But you, Captain, did it as he crossed your path

You made me free, the friend I’ve never had

The friend I’ve never had

I will follow you as you follow your stars

I care not for your sins

I will give you faith until my dying hour

You became my lifeline

My fallen star, my fallen star, my fallen star

I’m your earthbound soul

Earthbound soul

I will follow you as you follow your stars

I care not for your sins

I will give you faith until my dying hour

You became my lifeline

My fallen star, my fallen star, my fallen star

I’m your earthbound soul
