(English Version)

Are you off to the stars

You towering spire

With fire coming from hell itself

The stars move aside

As you pierce the sky

As if they're in the way of royalty


Let me go

Into the stars

Where class is but a word, not a rank

Where everyone is equally free

No one is judged on where they come from

Only on where they go


(Scottish Version)

Ur ye aff tae th' stars

yoo towerin' spire with fire

comin' frae heel itself

the stars move aside

as ye pierce th' lift

as if they're in th' way ay royalty.


Lit me gang

In tae th' stars

Whaur class is but a wuid, nae a renk

whaur a' fowk is equally free

no a body is judged oan whaur they come frae

only oan whaur they gang.
