Wandering in the dark
along a dimly lit street
a twinkle of hope
lends speed to my feet
a glittering conquest
awaits as I rise
and I glimpse my future
across the skies
it's on the horizon
as I grasp it's size
when it disappears
before my eyes
CHORUS
I am Orion
and Scorpio my destiny
enslaved togetherin the night
my nemesis and me
on far ends of the earth
our eyes never meet
tell me do I hunt the scorpion
or is he hunting me
V2
As I start to fall
my fate rises before me
an imposing figure
I wish I didn't see
my life seemed so easy
when I woke yesterday
but night settled in
and took the sun away
the blackness endured
the moon never came
and I'm left chasing after
and running from pain
CHORUS
BRIDGE
Once charmed
with a place in the heavens
I somehow always thought I couldn't fail
my star
falls my future plummets
chased down by a fiery tail
in my mind
the scorpion's sting
is ever at my heel
still I chase
him night by night
consumed by the kill
CHORUS
