In Habbanan beneath the skies
Where all roads end however long
There is a sound of faint echoes
And distant echoes of a song,
For there men gather into rings
Round their red fires
While one voice sings
And all about is night (night)
And all about is night

Not night as ours, unhappy folk,
Where nigh the Earth in hazy bars, in hazy mist about
The springing of the stars
There trails a thin and wandering, a smoke
Obscuring with it's veil half-seen
The great abysmal still serene

A globe of dark glass, faceted with light
Wherein the splendid winds have dusky flight

Untrodden s___es of an odorous plain

That watches for the moon that long has lain
And caught the meteors' fiery rain
Such there is night (night)
Such there is night (night)
Night

Not night as ours, unhappy folk,
Where nigh the Earth in hazy bars
In mist about the springing of the stars
There trails a thin and wandering smoke
Obscuring with the veil half-seen
The great abysmal still serene

...and caught the meteors' fiery rain

If I am dead and gone
Would you... remain?
