Morningstar, don’t eat my heart
Tell me why you want this world to be all yours
In your cloud of light that no one dare climb
I’m asleep soundly in your palm
Oh, Morningstar - don’t eat my heart

With your face painted red and your big, red horns
Riding on a thundercloud in the dark
Oh, Morningstar – don't eat my heart
I feel you close but I can’t see where you are

Through the trees, shapes shift - glowing eyes in the mist
Candles flickering in the wind burn out with a wisp
And so long are the shadows when the moon keeps hanging on
And when the arrows cut through the night, I pray they’ll miss
Oh, Morningstar – don't eat my heart
I can feel you close but I can’t see where you are

They’ll dance to the beat of drums, they’ll sing till the deed is done
And I’ll rest all through the summer into the fall
Will you remember me when I’m gone?
When I’m face down in the fields, out where all the daises grow, where the sun sweeps down the hills
Will you remember me when I’m gone?

In your cloud of light that no one dare climb
I’m sound asleep with you forevermore
Oh, Morningstar – don't eat my heart
