lyrics

In deepest Night, when Sleep does flee
and utter Dark does draw its Weave,
it chokes my Breath, crams the Heart in my Breast;
Squats on my Body like a hot Succubus !
When in burning Pain I roll and turn
and fearless I know my last Hour came . . . The Nightwind blows . . .

The Candles cease, I let the Nightwind in,
let its cold Breeze cool my heated Skin;
My tortured Soul lies embraced in its Arms . . .
Carry me to foreign Lands ! Show me the Unseen !
On Paths untread – A secret to all save you and the Stars.
And may Death be the End, I beseech not to remain when the Nightwind blows . . .

Then I let the Nightwind carry me away,
my crippled Soul on your Wings so black !
Gliding onto you, I murmur through Shades,
whispering gently my Thoughts desperate . . .
Learn the Wisdom of Darkness, perceive the Secrets of the Night;
Places hidden and Ages lost I roam where only Nightwinds rule . . .

Like Sand o’er empty Graves I drift
onwards through endless Night and Mist;
To Temples of Gods long forgotten I fly,
mystical places that demand human Blood . . .
(And) Where once Maidens were screaming in Vain,
now Monuments are crumbled to Dust that upon the Nightwind floats . . .

Along the Weaves through the Void of a Dream
I drift towards Death – or so does it seem . . .
I wander Caves lit by fierce Dragonfire,
the Bond to Life grows diffuse and lighter . . .
I smell colours ! I see Emotion, I’m but so alive !
Never I wish to wake nor return from the Realm where only the Nightwind rules . . .
