A song sang by Amberlight to Cherrybelly

Fate has been cruel and order unkind
How can they have sent me away?
The blame was my own; the punishment, yours
The stars will be silent today

But into the stillness I'll bring you a song
And I will your company keep
Till your tired eyes and my lullabies
Have carried you softly to sleep

Once did a warrior who sparkled like the jewels
Look out on her clan and sigh
She smiled and said, "Surely, there is no warrior
So lovely and so fit to fight as I"

So great was her reign and so brilliant her glory
That long was the shadow she cast
Which fell dark upon the great sister she loved
And grew only darker as days and nights passed

Lullay sweet cherry, goodnight sister mine
And rest now in moonlight's embrace
Bear up my lullaby, winds of the earth
Through cloud, and through sky, and through space

Carry the peace and the coolness of night
And carry my sorrow in kind
Cherrybelly, you're loved so much more than you know
Forgive me for being so blind

Soon did that warrior take notice that others
Give her sister more than her due
And so had she loved her as she deserved
She watched as her sister's greatness grew

But such is the way of the limelight, it sweetly
Takes hold of the mind of its host
And that foolish warrior did nothing to stop
The destruction of one who had needed her most

Lullay sweet cherry, goodnight sister mine
And rest now in moonlight's embrace
Bear up my lullaby, winds of the earth
Through cloud, and through sky, and through space

Carry the peace and the coolness of night
And carry my sorrow in kind
Cherrybelly, you're loved so much more than you know
May troubles be far from your mind
And forgive me for being so blind

The moons now before us
Fearful and unknown
I never imagined
You'd face them on your own

May these thousand leaf-bares
Swiftly pass, I pray
I love you; I miss you
All these miles away

May all your dreams be sweet tonight
Safe upon your bed of moonlight
And know not of sadness, pain, or care
And when you dream, I'll fly away and meet you there
Sleep... Sleep...
