Long is the trail of the day Into the lap of the evening dusk Sweetest 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 (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! I'm still chained in this rimed soil ♪ When twilight wreathes 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 (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! 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
