Lyrics
[Verse 1]
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
[Verse 2]
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
[Verse 3]
(For) For you left before me
(My) My pale morning star
(Now) Now you walk in undying light
(And I'm) I'm still chained in this rimed soil
[Verse 4]
When twilight reaves my senses
The heavenly ones will linger here
[Verse 5]
Right here by my feverish side
The ghosts of those I loved
Gone is the cruelest longing now
Undone, this grief of mine
[Verse 6]
(For) For you left before me
(My) My pale morning star
(Now) Now you walk in undying light
(And I'm) I'm still chained in this rimed soil
[Verse 7]
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
[Verse 8]
Broken is the sphere of the body
As the spirit will ascend
[Verse 9]
Broken is the sphere of the body
As the spirit will ascend
Over the infinite boundaries
Over the gulches of death
[Verse 10]
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
[Verse 11]
Wide awake amidst the dream
I stand by your side
I tremble before your gleam
My pale morning star
[Verse 12]
I stand by your side
My pale morning star
