Please could you stay awhile to share my grief
For it's such a lovely day
To have to always feel this way
And the time that I will suffer less
Is when I never have to wake
Wandering stars, for whom it is reserved
The blackness of darkness forever
Wandering stars, for whom it is reserved
The blackness of darkness forever
Those who have seen the needles eye, now tread
Like a husk, from which all that was, now has fled
And the masks, that the monsters wear
To feed, upon their prey
Wandering stars, for whom it is reserved
The blackness of darkness forever
Wandering stars, for whom it is reserved
The blackness of darkness forever
Doubled up inside
Take a while to shed my grief
Always doubled up inside
Taunted, cruel
Wandering stars, for whom it is reserved
The blackness of darkness forever
Wandering stars, for whom it is reserved
The blackness of darkness forever
For it's such a lovely day
To have to always feel this way
And the time that I will suffer less
Is when I never have to wake
Wandering stars, for whom it is reserved
The blackness of darkness forever
Wandering stars, for whom it is reserved
The blackness of darkness forever
Those who have seen the needles eye, now tread
Like a husk, from which all that was, now has fled
And the masks, that the monsters wear
To feed, upon their prey
Wandering stars, for whom it is reserved
The blackness of darkness forever
Wandering stars, for whom it is reserved
The blackness of darkness forever
Doubled up inside
Take a while to shed my grief
Always doubled up inside
Taunted, cruel
Wandering stars, for whom it is reserved
The blackness of darkness forever
Wandering stars, for whom it is reserved
The blackness of darkness forever

THOSE WHO HAVE SEEN THE NEEDLES I NOW TREAD
meaning those who have gone before me on this destination-less black wandering ground which is full of misery and pointlessness, the other miserable wandering stars, are like empty husk, outside shells with nothing inside filling them with purpose, meaning, and fulfillment. The singer is "doubling up" inside of herself to take a break from the outside world, which she perceives is sending her this grief... she feels that she will get relief inside of herself, when in fact, the real pain is inside, and she feels that this is "cruel", that she is being "taunted".... but the true relief is after dealing with the pain that is truly a result of perceiving things incorrectly or pursuing the wrong things, all things which can be fixed inside.
As far as the song meaning is concerned, i definitely know she quoted the book of Jude, for it reads here, Jude 1.13...wandering stars, for whom the gloom of utter darkness has been reserved forever.
