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 . . .
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 . . .

Road to Infinity (2018)
by SythThis may be the best metal album released in 2018. Very Maidenesque, but by no means a clone. If you are a metalhead, you HAVE to hear this record!

Is it rock? Punk? Metal? Who cares, it's rock & roll! DemonScar are one of those bands that have that thing so few do these days: authenticity. Anyway, they rock so check them out!

Панихида
by Krzysztof Drabikowskisupported by 11 fans who also own “Nightwind”
La traversée du désert n'aura pas duré quarante jours mais quatre longues années... Avec Панихида, Батюшка renaît enfin de ses cendres et, bien que désormais seul (ou plus exactement entouré de deux chanteurs), Христофор accomplit un miracle. Il s'inscrit dans la continuité de Литоургиiа avec un black metal orthodoxe qui nous convie ici à une cérémonie dédiée aux morts. Sa vision est englobante : les mélodies, la gravité et le silence font toucher le paradis ; l'agressivité est luciférienne.
