Shearwater - The Hunter's Star lyrics

The hunter’s star
Burned brighter than all of the
Suns in the firmament
As through the sky he raged
With his hook and blade
And the world, unmade

As forests bow and blacken the air
As the canopies burn away
And the arc-lights fade and no gull remains
To repeat it's call

Only now would you long
For the ancient boughs
The moon, overlapping the long white clouds
And the home life of a love
Who will never return again

No child at all would wake to the light
Of a sun that is reddening
Like a robin’s breast and no lioness
Boards a last, great hull on the waves
That close on a world
That will never return again
And no sound escapes from the night to come
