E   E              Dbm     Dbm7  
There, out in the darkness
            A     A   
A fugitive running
            B
Fallen from God
             E   E    
Fallen from grace
            Dbm    Dbm7  
God be my witness
              A     A   
I never shall yield
                     B
Till we come face to face
                     Dbm Dbm7  
Till we come face to face
                       Gbm   Gbm  
He knows his way in the dark
                       Abm
Mine is the way of the Lord
                            A
And those who do follow the path of the righteous
                   E
Shall have their reward
            Am
And if they fall
           D7
As Lucifer fell
    G
The flame
    B
The sword!

Stars
        Dbm       Dbm7  
In your multitudes
             A      A   
Scarce to be counted
            B
Filling the darkness
               E     E   
With order and light
            Dbm      Dbm7  
You are the sentinels
           A      A   
Silent and sure
                     B
Keeping watch in the night
                     Dbm     Dbm7  
Keeping watch in the night
                           Gbm   Gbm  
You know your place in the sky
                              Abm
You hold your course and your aim

And each in your season
A
Returns and returns


                  E
And is always the same
           Am              D7
And if you fall as Lucifer fell
    G       B
You fall in flame!


              E                 Abm
And so it has been and so it is written
       Bm             A
On the doorway to paradise
               Am                   E
That those who falter and those who fall
     Gb      B
Must pay the price!

Lord let me find him
           D       D7
That I may see him
            G    G  
Safe behind bars
       Em
I will never rest
     Am
Till then
       D
This I swear
                    G   G     Em   G  
This I swear by the stars
