Preludium...

[No lyrics]

. . .



Call thy name at nightfall
Reach out for thee lifeÂґs rose
Cast thy veils at sunset
Trespass the waning in my halls
Prosperous beauty
Embraced by edenÂґs heart
Call thy name out tearful
Reveal to me thy deepest loss

[choir]
Domini
Supratono
Sepultu

Cast... make haste my savage wall
For an end
Thy savage... bleak night
In life thy tears grow scarlet

[Vibeke:] For thee my beloved
We shall freeze
There for this life with thee I bequeath
Like a promise bevaild by the sea
I still love in decidety(?)

Come desired nightfall
Enchant my grievous loss
Life bewailed at sunset
Trespass the shadows in my heart
Arise before me
Bequeath thy grievous loss
Dark at heart I mourn thee
Replace the vigour she once lost


. . .


Dark thou embrace my bleeding heart
my dreams uniting our tearful eyes enchanting
At night I kiss the serpent in thy tears
For years thy sorrow I've mourned

Harken my moonchilds cry
Yearning for another night
Mourning my once beloved
Mezmerized and ravendark

My pale enchantress of the night
At last my candle's burning down
The wintermoon is shining bleak
for thee my enchantress

Enchanting all my dreams
a beauty and her flood of tears
Nightfall embrace my heart

Mesmerized and ravendark

My pale enchantress of the night
I desire thee

Tearful I walk with thee through dusk
through winds of loss.
Her beauty and her flood
embrace my bleeding heart
Tearful I fall with thee, at last
lead me there to where thy shadows cast
They dance in velvet darkness lost

Rise bleak winterfullmoon
Rise

In life I kissed the serpent in thy tears
For years thy sorrow I mourned

. . .



May thou carry me to the sea
Like autumn leaves... heaven wither
Savage is the winter prevailing within
I fall for thee... Sorrow entreating me
Makes me leave heaven

[Morten:] Breed my night like tears of sorrow
Creep with life the days that morrow
Thee scent like snow

I find thy lilies there of snow
Where once I died... weeping for thee
Everlasting seems the strife ascending within
Falling for thee...
Darkness confounding me
Makes me leave life

[Morten:] Breed my night with thy sorrow

[Vibeke/spoken:] Examinate this pain like snow
Driven far from my efferly loss
Enter this extended night of sorrow,
Pain,flowing tears...

Breed my woe
Descend with broken wings
Midwinternight inside
Merged by life... like thousand
Frozen tears
Come melt the ice... maytime...


. . .



Shadowcast upon my heart
Endark... thy bleak midwintertears
Condemned to mourn in silence
The pale moonrise in her eyes
Serene... like a frozen stream
The flowing beauty in thy tears

I crave for thee my once beloved
Beyond... the veils of darkness lost
Where now thy roses wrapped in dusk

[Vibeke:] Silent she coms through the night
Desiring a silver light
Leaving,with dusk in her eyes
Decended from higher(??)

[Morten:] All of us,
Souls she abuses,
Can only be achieved through death

Dark enchantress
I suffer thy fullmoonnights
Trespass my undesired darkness
Tears... flowing through thy dreams

Dark enchantress
The seventh fullmoon rise
I drown in dusk and dark rivers

Summon all my dreams
Like roses on your epigraph
Written in my tears
Thy sorrow and my bleeding heart

She comes so serene
My fallen beauty crowned with leaves
Take me to thy dream
Thy candle will forever burn in me...


. . .



When summerÂґs gone flee my angel
Winterwinds they might lead you far away
Beyond the pale horizon, a greaven silence
Over dreams to my heart yet not remain

[Vibeke] Oh please believe
ItÂґs in her eyes
[Vibeke] It is inside
ItÂґs in her heart, the same relation from which
I once led astray
[Vibeke] Oh please believe
ItÂґs in her eyes
[Vibeke] It is inside
ItÂґs in her heart, the same delightful place
I once felt in you

Angellore revered at dusk
For thee I rose, now descend all alone
Rise for me, soothe my heart
So wide a sea, may I overcome

[Spoken] Into the night strays an angel
So lost and tearful all astray

Into the night strays an angel
So lost and tearful all astray
Lo whereÂґs the pale horizon
Oh where is dyingness
You reach for me beyond so wide a sea

[Vibeke] Oh please believe
ItÂґs in her eyes
[Vibeke] It is inside
ItÂґs in her heart, the same desire
I feel burning in me
[Vibeke] Oh please believe
ItÂґs in her eyes
[Vibeke] It is inside
ItÂґs in her heart, the same desire from
The empty pain within

Rise for me, soothe my heart
So wide a sea, may I overcome

[Vibeke] Deep as the sea, wailing secrecies are burning in me
For a dream I once desired
I bequeth my sorrow and I regret to thee
Cannot cross that wide a sea

Angellore revered at dusk
For thee I rose, now descend all alone
Rise for me, soothe my heart
So wide a sea, may I overcome


. . .


For thy promise bewailed
By her raveneyes
By her beauty and a scarlet sunrise
May thy river bury her silvertears
A fallen angel... enshrined in moonlit seas

Leaving vitality
So serene breeds my darkness
Entreating winterwinds
Though I leave... I embrace thee

Winternight
Conceal thy precious angellore
I secrete my soul
Under thy wings of sorrow
Dark I embrace thy eyes
Wander lost on life's narrow path
I reveal my heart
To this beauty dressed in dark

Grieving raveneyes
Falls asleep with the sunrise
Delightful midsummer breeze
Though I leave... I await thee

Grant me thy last midsummer breeze
May thou ascend from endless sleep
... my desire
Dance me above thy moonlit seas
Glance yearningly into the deep
A cold and weary night

Winternight
Descending me like flakes of snow
I embrace the cold
For a life that morrows
Dark I embrace thy heart
Wanderer lost beyond veils of dawn
I conceal thy loss
Enthralled in life yet still I mourn
My lost Lenore...

. . .



I mourn thee by dusk
I mourn thee by dawn
Crave for thy gloss
to seek the silent glades beyond
precious a glance
thy veils now unfold
tearfull she dance
into this nightfall I behold

Grieve at night
Thy bereavement and thy loss in life
Grieve by day
Thy devotion and thy pass away

Beyond the veils of dawn
from where she Siren calls

The sunset seize within as I walk
Through velvet dusk and dawn
condemned to rise and fall
So grievous through the night she calls
the beauty I once lost
I mourn thee my beloved

Far beneath thy heavens lost
where I once pale and cold
beheld thy rarest rose...

Sirene

A velvet breath of life
enchants the garden of delight
Her voice within these winds
The flower so serene
Her cold and silent wail
Descend like midsummer rain
Bury my heart in thine
A taste of heavens wine

Beneath a fullmoon bright
she comes with gowns flowing wide
With bloodlike lips of faun
Enchanting eyes of dawn
Towards the moon she gaze
A lonely tear runs down her face
For all she lost in life
buried so deep inside Leaves...
dance in her precious eden
where she lies deep
Her loss in life engraved
in dusk and angeltears

Enlight in night within me
Lead me there
where my heart lies buried
beneath the seven seas
