They said the sea would end, but the stars opened wide. So I stepped into the hush and did not turn aside. Silver keel on the breath of night Bound for the edge of the fading light Elwing’s voice still echoes near But the stars are calling clear Winds that never kissed the shore Now fill my sails with something more No tide, no map, no mortal land Just fire and fate beneath my hand I sail the sky on Vingilot’s flame The Silmaril burns with your name No home behind, no shore ahead Just starlit paths the fated tread Oceans of shadow, isles of light The void alive with ancient sight Each spark I pass, a soul gone far Each silence deeper than any star Did they see me rise beyond the foam? Did she weep when I left our home? Yet I carry the grace she gave to me, A memory brighter than any sea Now I sail on, the last of kin A beacon where the dark begins The stars bear witness, calm and wide And still I burn, and still I ride I am the flame that won’t descend The sailor that the world won’t end A song above, a name below, Starbound, ever, in silmaril glow
