Wishes made upon its light
find their echoes in the night,
Though light from distant spheres have fled
from stars that might already be dead,
but though that undead light might fall,

And we will pass to dust and shade
before its light begins to fade.
And through the passing nights and days
we'll live and dream beneath its gaze,
then die beneath its distant rays,

in the shadow, in the night.

that burns eternal in our sight.
While swift we wilt now and decay,
these pale shades that fade away
And Nova, see as we go grey
Tell the mortals, fading thus
if you would make a wish of us.
