The Brightest Star

Oh, bright star
You shine so bright
Above the hills and dales
Telling the stories of shores so far
And ever sweet days

My heart belongs to these tides
Where I paint my home and life

In darkness you lead me back to the light
Sending me always but a sign
So I know where you are

I see the light pouring down
Leading me through
Snow and cold
Beyond the lands so far
Chambers carved in stone

Across the valleys of white
You share your light

Caresses are still sweet in dawn dew
Beneath a veil last night mares
Above the fields of midnight bloom
Far over the seas untold in tales
You shine so bright leading me through

Among all fallen kingdoms I will follow your road
Into a storm, into a war
I will follow your path over the hills and misty dawns
Across the sea and through blowing winds cold

I will follow you forever, my only king
Before our path falls into Sea of Eternity

In darkness you lead me back to the light
Sending me always but a sign
So I know that here you are

Oh, brightest star
You shine above the lands
In pearls of tears of all past days
I feel your guards upon my part
Pour your light on my path
So I could see where you are
