Starset Continue 'HORIZONS' Voyage With Melodic Song 'Earthrise'

Who's up for a space age love song? Starset have dropped the third new transmission from their forthcoming HORIZONS album, the melodic yet anthemic new song "Earthrise."

Stepping away from the visual narrative of their previous two videos for the album, Starset instead put the focus on earthly views from outer space, glimpsing the beauty of the terrain from a distance. It serves the song in that Dustin Bates is sharing his longing and fascination with a captivating beauty, singing at one point, "I still fall for you like suns do for skies / Cerulean pouring in from your eyes / Just a hollow moon that you colorize / So powerful I feel so small but so alive / Like watching the earthrise."

This serves as the third song to arrive off the upcoming HORIZONS album, following "The Breach" and "Leaving This World Behind." If you like what you've heard so far, the album is currently available to pre-order ahead of the Oct. 22 street date. Get a closer look and listen to "Earthrise" through the lyrics and video below:

Starset, "Earthrise" Lyrics

i push my feet to the edge
i look and i face my world
this lonely scene, i take it in
it's hard to say where all of it begins and i end
and i waited for the sky to change but, oh, it never did
and i almost dropped my head and lost my faith
then i saw you from a distance
you were worlds away
oh, but you had me from the vision
i never looked away again
i still fall for you like suns do for skies
cerulean pouring in from your eyes
just a hollow moon that you colorize
so powerful i feel so small but so alive
like watching the earthrise
i walk these streets of loneliness
a tranquil sea
on all horizons
this empty scene of might-have-beens
i stare at starless skies that call to me and i still wish, i still wish, i still wish
i still fall for you like suns do for skies
cerulean pouring in from your eyes
just a hollow moon that you colorize
so powerful i feel so small but so alive
like watching the earthrise
they said that we both were too different
that all of the shine would fade away
but i wish that i'd never listened
cause you pulled me from the gray
i still fall for you like suns do for skies
cerulean pouring in from your eyes
just a hollow moon that you colorize
so powerful i feel so small but so alive
like watching the earthrise

Starset, "Earthrise"
