The moon rises through a blue violet sky
Glowing white above yellow orange trees
As the sun's light wanes
The blue gives way to a sparkling black
The moon grows brighter, floating
Through the diamond starlight
Casting a glow upon the shadows
Cast by the fire colored trees
Split only by the shining rails
Laid upon the ground
As the moon reaches its pinnacle
Its glow is joined
By the piercing light and sound
Of the train
Heralding the night's end
The moon falls slowly to its fate
Fading behind a blue violet sky
Behind yellow orange trees
Now alight by the sun's fierce glow
