When the bombs came down, I cupped my ears in submission
When the air ran out, I felt my dreams go with it
I don't feel the fire but this grown woman's a little girl again
I can thank the day the bombs came down, came down

But then I looked up!
The world was calm, and the cosmos bled through the sky
Looked down at me, sweet serenity!
It's time to say goodbye
The stars, the stars that stopped the world
The stars, the stars that stopped the world

The stars, the stars that stopped the world
The stars, the stars that stopped the world

When the war turned red, I lost faith in humanity
When the roof collapsed, I watched my father cry for me
I didn't ask for the fire but the hair still singed off my back so fast
I can thank the day the war turned red, turned red

But then I looked up!
The world was calm, and the cosmos bled through the sky
Looked down at me, sweet serenity!
It's time to say goodbye

The stars, the stars that stopped the world
The stars, the stars that stopped the world

The stars, the stars that stopped the world
The stars, the stars that stopped the world

I didn't make it but don't be me
I didn't make it but I hope you see
I didn't make it but don't be me
I hope you will see

I didn't make it but don't be me
I didn't make it but I hope you see
I didn't make it but don't be me
I hope you see

The stars, the stars that stopped the world
The stars, the stars that stopped the world

The stars, the stars that stopped the world
The stars, the stars that stopped the world
