The Midnight Star

Cradle this last remaining flicker of a once auspicious night While the city glow gives in bestow This last honor on us relentless and deplorable This faint desires for life laid bare right before your eyes To alleviate what sorrows still lie hidden deep in half light In our name dimly rise into the nearing day Therefore the moon held a funeral march across the sky Come eventide There shall be nothing left of us By virtue of vast cities drear Oh so empyrean we'll soar Thence impervious and divine To journey onward, to get lost aloft When we saw with wistful eyes that joy had become tribulation Then we rejoiced for unto each of us a star was to be born Dimday was to fall and the pale orb would lead the way For us to twinkle in the dark, to be wanderers eternally Come eventide There shall be nothing left of us By virtue of vast cities drear Oh so empyrean we'll soar Thence impervious and divine Rise my midnight star Though countless times we were greeted by his presence Not even death shall abide Until the hours nigh to say our farewells To depart and never be again Come eventide There shall be nothing left of us By virtue of vast cities drear Oh so empyrean we'll soar Thence impervious and divine To journey onward, to get lost aloft Rise my midnight star
