Close your eyes now
And give in to the night
Soar above the stars
Forget what's behind
Don't stare up at the setting sun
Or the light of dawn
Follow the thread of gold
Drift on its tide
It's a path of stars
Ride on the golden stream
And break the waves
In a gilded trail of stars
Rise, rise, rise
Above the golden way of stars
Rise, rise, rise
Beyond the trail of stars
The light will lure you
To lands forged by demise
To the shores of death
The blooming meadows
Seduce and intoxicate
With a deceiving scent
Follow the thread of gold
Drift on its tide
It's a path of stars
Ride on the golden stream
And break the waves
In a trail of stars
I've seen the lights up in the sky
Like beacons from another shore
So don't look back, don't look ahead
Just close your eyes, give in to the night
Close your eyes now
Give in to the night
Soar above the stars
The blooming meadows
Seduce and intoxicate
With a deceiving scent
Follow the thread of gold
Drift on its tide
It's a path of stars
Ride on the golden stream
And break the waves
In a gilded trail of stars
Rise, rise, rise
Above the golden way of stars
Rise, rise, rise
Beyond the trail of stars
And give in to the night
Soar above the stars
Forget what's behind
Don't stare up at the setting sun
Or the light of dawn
Follow the thread of gold
Drift on its tide
It's a path of stars
Ride on the golden stream
And break the waves
In a gilded trail of stars
Rise, rise, rise
Above the golden way of stars
Rise, rise, rise
Beyond the trail of stars
The light will lure you
To lands forged by demise
To the shores of death
The blooming meadows
Seduce and intoxicate
With a deceiving scent
Follow the thread of gold
Drift on its tide
It's a path of stars
Ride on the golden stream
And break the waves
In a trail of stars
I've seen the lights up in the sky
Like beacons from another shore
So don't look back, don't look ahead
Just close your eyes, give in to the night
Close your eyes now
Give in to the night
Soar above the stars
The blooming meadows
Seduce and intoxicate
With a deceiving scent
Follow the thread of gold
Drift on its tide
It's a path of stars
Ride on the golden stream
And break the waves
In a gilded trail of stars
Rise, rise, rise
Above the golden way of stars
Rise, rise, rise
Beyond the trail of stars

According to the bands renown lyricist 'Pekka Kainulainen' this is about the story of man who is searching, finding & forgetting. A single spark can set the world afire, a single idea can give birth to a new culture. The greatest can stagnate into insignificance, the smallest can hold the power for change. The lyrics reference distant echoes of ancient forest peoples, from a time when meaning was proportioned by the cosmic forces that govern birth and death. If the connection was lost, they sought for a strand of knowledge, found a new direction, and a new age began. This theme is also carried throughout the album 'Queen of Time'.
