Is It Far

A tribute to "STARGAZER" by Ronnie James Dio

Where are you in the constellation
Where do we fit in the whip-chained nation
Towers of stone and flesh and bone
Can’t bring the sun from the shadow
Won’t save the sun from the shadow
And time has no meaning 
As the dead are all leaving
Leaving all the living behind
Their voices echo in my mind
The desert sand spins
As we come to our ends
And we leave all the living behind
With their voices echoing blind
Is it far, is it far
Tell me how far
To your constellation high in the stars
Our time has come 
And then passed us by
Leaving but a memory
Beneath a Neptune dark sky
Is it far, is it far
Tell me how far
To the wizard’s constellation
