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) 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
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) 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
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
