Item Type: Bard’s song
Upon a midnight clear
After twilight’s last dawning
The union of houses is blessed by the stars
Darkness and light are thus wedded.
How can the night love the evening star?
And how can the moon condemn them?
How is it fate can be so cruel
And destiny let it be?
Brighter than the lights of the world
The light of their love did shine
But for the wrongs of their kin
The young lovers, they would pay.
How can the night love the evening star?
And how can the moon condemn them?
How is it fate can be so cruel
And destiny let it be?
And from the love of the star and night
A beautiful child was born
Brighter than the sun in the sky
The child’s light did shine.
How can the night love the evening star?
And how can the moon condemn them?
How is it fate can be so cruel
And destiny let it be?
Love is brief, even when meant to be,
And theirs was no exception.
All life was stolen from the night,
Under the frightened eyes of the star.
How can the night love the evening star?
And how can the moon condemn them?
How is it fate can be so cruel
And destiny let it be?
The blood of the night thus was spilled
And the wars of the crown raged on.
The son that they had was lost to us,
Lost to you and me.
How can the night love the evening star?
And how can the moon condemn them?
How is it fate can be so cruel
And destiny let it be?
How can the night love the evening star?
And how can the moon condemn them?
Fate ensures what’s meant to be,
As does destiny.
And so from memory fades their tale,
Of the love of the night and the star.
