The God Who Ate the Stars

They lit the sky for worship I looked up and called it food Every prayer became a pathway Every silence understood Before the gold, before the empire Before the mask was clean Tenebrae learned the oldest lesson Want becomes a king Medriaas had fields and voices Nathema had none left I built myself a holy name From a planet's final breath Do not call me darkness Darkness has an end I am what remains of hunger When it learns to pretend I am the god who ate the stars The wound behind the throne I turned their faith to gravity And made the void my home Vitiate, Valkorion One hunger, many scars Bow your worlds before me I am the god who ate the stars As Vitiate I made distance Feel like sacred fear An emperor without a body Still whispering in every ear Yavin cracked the hidden doorway Ziost burned without a flame And every mind I gathered Forgot it had a name If they call it immortality Let them keep the word I know the taste of centuries And every life I burned I am the god who ate the stars The wound behind the throne I turned their faith to gravity And made the void my home Vitiate, Valkorion One hunger, many scars Bow your worlds before me I am the god who ate the stars Zakuul saw the god face White marble, open hand A father wrapped in daylight A tyrant under command Arcann broke against me Vaylin broke the chain Thexan's blood still thundered In the palace after rain I was the god who ate the stars Until the stars spoke back Every stolen voice returned To split the endless black Tenebrae, Vitiate, Valkorion Names like falling sparks All my heavens burned away The god who ate the stars They lit the sky for worship Then watched the heavens scar No god is truly endless When he has to eat the stars
