The Midnight Star Songtext
von Words of Farewell

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
