From Firelight to Starlight

Verse 1

We watched the heavens by torch and flame,

Afraid to speak the heretic’s name,

Dreams were crimes we couldn’t proclaim,

But silence never won the game.

Verse 2

The Earth stood still ‘cause fear said so,

But truth’s a tide that has to flow,

They tried to burn what they couldn’t know,

And lit the fuse that made us go.

Verse 3

Kepler drew what faith denied,

Galileo stood, the world complied,

The sky was closed, but we defied,

And built our prayers where rockets ride.

Pre-Chorus 1

If they could see the stars we’ve found,

Would they still try to drag us down

Chorus

From firelight prayers to satellite eyes,

We rose from dirt to the edge of the skies,

We’ve always looked up — now we fly,

The heretics burned, but the truth won’t die,

We touch the stars just to ask them why,

Do you still dream when you see that sky

Yeah, we do — that’s why we fly!

Verse 4

The maps they drew were made of fear,

But wonder whispered, “We’re still here,”

Each telescope a rebel’s spear,

Piercing centuries unclear.

Verse 5

The church bells rang, the stars stayed mute,

But time tuned faith to a different flute,

We learned that reason’s not a brute,

Just truth in a sharper suit.

Pre-Chorus 2

Can you hear that echo cry,

From the ones who dared to try

Chorus

From firelight prayers to satellite eyes,

We rose from dirt to the edge of the skies,

We’ve always looked up — now we fly,

The heretics burned, but the truth won’t die,

We touch the stars just to ask them why,

Do you still dream when you see that sky

Yeah, we do — that’s why we fly!

Verse 6

Four hundred years of ash and flame,

From whispered doubt to cosmic claim,

Every orbit bears their name,

Every launch repeats the same.

Verse 7

The scrolls became machines that sing,

Each number turned to engine wing,

Faith evolved — it learned to bring,

Heaven closer, orbiting.

Verse 8

We built from dirt, from myth, from bone,

Raised cathedrals made of stone,

Now we pray through microphones,

To skies we finally own.

Pre-Chorus 3

When did wonder start to fade,

And fear forget what courage made

Chorus

From firelight prayers to satellite eyes,

We rose from dirt to the edge of the skies,

We’ve always looked up — now we fly,

The heretics burned, but the truth won’t die,

We touch the stars just to ask them why,

Do you still dream when you see that sky

Yeah, we do — that’s why we fly!

Verse 9

Now Kepler’s ghost still haunts the flame,

Each rocket echoes his old name,

The heresy became our aim,

To light the dark we used to blame.

Verse 10

From firelight to starlit roar,

We’ve opened every ancient door,

The sky’s not holy anymore,

It’s the frontier we explore.

Pre-Chorus 4

Will the stars still hear our cry,

Long after we’re dust and sky

Chorus

From firelight prayers to satellite eyes,

We rose from dirt to the edge of the skies,

We’ve always looked up — now we fly,

The heretics burned, but the truth won’t die,

We touch the stars just to ask them why,

Do you still dream when you see that sky

Yeah, we do — that’s why we fly!

Verse 11

We wrote our names on the endless blue,

The myths grew old, but the dream stayed new,

We found the gods and called them view,

And saw ourselves in what they drew.

Verse 12

Every flame we feared to start,

Became a compass, became our art,

The universe just played its part,

To map the hunger of the heart.

Pre-Chorus 5

If wonder dies, what’s left to prove

Without a dream, why do we move

Bridge –

The sky was a crime, now it’s where we belong,

We turned the forbidden into our song,

The spark they feared kept burning strong,

The dark was wrong, the light lived on.

Chorus

From firelight prayers to satellite eyes,

We rose from dirt to the edge of the skies,

We’ve always looked up — now we fly,

The heretics burned, but the truth won’t die,

We touch the stars just to ask them why,

Do you still dream when you see that sky

Yeah, we do — that’s why we fly!

Outro –

The fire still burns, the dream’s still high,

We’ll never stop asking why,

From firelight prayers to the open sky,

We’ve always looked up — now we fly.
