pale morning star

long is the trail of the day

into the lap of the evening dusk

sweet is the hour of sleep

for i am weary of sorrow and pain

into the tender night

i now lapse

into the slumber

so sound and deep

arching over the ravines of time

bridge into the shrouded land

for you left before me

my pale morning star

now you walk in undying light

i'm still chained in this rimed soil

when twilight reaves my senses

the heavenly ones will linger here

right here by my feverish side

the ghosts of those i loved

gone is the cruelest longing now

undone

this grief of mine

for you left before me

my pale morning star

now you walk in undying light

i'm still chained in this rimed soil

and still i can sense you

still i can hear your voice

still i quiver under your touch

celestial shine in your hair

empyreal crown upon your brow

radiance blurs my deary eyes

broken is the sphere of the body

as the spirit will ascend

broken is the sphere of the body

as the spirit will ascend

over the infinite boundaries

over the gulches of death

once you carried me

from the night into the sun

and now i follow your steps

into the unseen land

sore are these weary eyes

when i pass into the light

blinding the eternal glow

after the long path in the dark

wide awake amidst the dream

i stand by your side

i tremble before your gleam

my pale morning star

i stand by your side

my pale morning star
