1. The Graveyard in Moonlight's Shine As I walk to the Gates of Eternity I see the Spirits who dance for me A thousand whispers of endless Pain A Dream of Sorrow of blackend Souls A soft Embrace of blackend Wings I kiss the Darkness - my Destiny The Graveyard shines in moonlight’s Shine The Dead are singing to welcome me The cold Winds of Eternity blow They carry me into my Grave I lie on Roses and feel the End My Lips are kissed tenderly by Death Oh, how sweet does this Silence taste Only Shadows and Moonlight’s Shine I feel my Soul will leave my Grave I feel my Body will fade away 2. A Dream of Dancing Shadows As the Nightside called for my Name From the Land of Snow and Ice For the Spirits are dancing with me At the Path to the Unlight I will never again see the Light That has once cursed my mortal Soul Great black Goddess I'm searching For you to fulfil your Soul with mine I have heard your Call in the Night As I was standing about to fall I have felt your Hand touching me As I was falling so silently Like a drunken Angel I fly And my Eyes are burning bright Towards the Land of Snow and Ice Where all dead Angels lie For this Night I've waited long When I take your golden Crown The Dust will take my flesh away But I remain in Clouds of Dust Towards the Unlight I will rise Where only Dust and Darkness lies Where my Soul will reign in Blood And the Demons praise my Soul I'm falling into a Shade of Grey That carries my dying Soul away Silently the Wind embraces me And kisses me in Shades of Grey Frozen Rivers all around And the Forest grasps for me again She kissed my Neck And sipped my Blood Touched me tenderly as I felt Immortal I remain with her No Light shall ever reach my Eye The Night became a Part of me Secret Voices call for me Whispering Shadows carry me Night's Embrace will make me free Im dunklen Samt der Nacht Wenn alles fort schläft und ruht Durch Begierde vom Schlaf erwacht Zu suchen nach frischem Blut Dein Körper blaß im Mondschein glänzt Mein Sein geprägt von Dunkelheit Dein Blut ist fìr mich wie Wein Zärtlich der Kuß zur Ewigkeit The Shine of the Moon So clear and bright The Snow on my Hands The Frost in my Heart This never ending Flame in me Like a Dagger that carves in my Flesh A Symphony composed by the Wind How sweet does it sound What am I now A Dream of endless Silence Of Life that will fall down to Dust A Dream of endless Darkness A Dream where I kiss the Unlight A Dream of dancing Shadows Of Shadows that carry my Soul A Dream of endless Frost Of Frost that will grasp for my Soul I hear the Shadows scream Calling for my Soul They will ride with me On the Wings of Damnation Together with my Goddess We're restless in the Woods Screaming with the Shadows Who are fading all away And as the Sun arose Above the snow-covered Hills I was staring at my Queen I will kiss her the last Time To Dust we will fall Together we are now Ashes to Ashes And Dust to Dust 3. Memories of An Ancient Time A breeze of Darkness blessed my Soul as I rise at Armageddon In ancient Times I was born Son of Darkness, King of the Night Baptized with holy Blood I was blessed with Immortality I am the bringer of your Death - the Fourth Horsemen of Doom I’m the one you ’ll never see, look at me and you know my Name My Eyes tell you the Truth, I laughed by the Cross as your Mother cried For I’m the one in your Dreams, I am the Phantom in the Night I am the Shade behind the Light, I’m the Master of the Unlight Armageddon, Days of Darkness, Holy War, I am your Son I rip the Sky and burn their Souls, I rise the Flame of endless Hate For I’m the one in your Dreams, I am the Phantom in the Night I am the Shade behind the Light, I’m the Master of the Unlight 4. The Arrival of a New Age I’m falling deep in Sphere beyond In bloodred Nights I make my Way I am fading away from this Life Alone I’m standing, God has lied to me My Soul is not sleeping, I’m finding no Peace I will rise against you all and your Fear is my Pride Alone I stand beneath the Gates, to destroy Heaven to destroy the Light As the Fire burns around me and I laugh as the Angels die Now their Wings have turned to Ash and my Eyes are burning bright I’m full of Hate, I’m full of Blood I slay the Christians and enslave their Souls Now I - I know who I am I’m the chosen one from Hell I have slaughered the holy ones I am the Rebirth of the Night, I’m the chosen one from Hell I’m the one who controls your Fear, mightier than Death And noone knows my Name, cause I live behind the Light 5. In the Spell of Midnight's Grace I hear the Call of the ancient Forest A thousand Whispers embrace my Mind I am the ancient One Called from the Unlight Cursed by the Might Of the ancient Forest His call, so clear and near Burns in my Heart so bright Burns like an endless Flame In darkest Night I see the Moon arise Feel how he looks at me Oh, how sweet does this Silence taste I have fallen in the Spell of this endless Night I fell asleep and I'll never awake again Shadows are dancing above my closed Eyes As I am buried in a Cloud of Dust My Body fades away but I still remain Endless Darkness Only Moonlight's Shine And I walk upon the Shadows Beyond forgotten Woods I dance My Eyes are like a Mirror I'm searching for the Stars Alone I stand on the Path to Eternity Only the Moon shows me the Way Slowly I walk the Stairs Of the Moonlight And the Raven flies with me again Spirits dance on Shadows As I grasp for frozen Stars I have fallen In the Spell of the Moonlight Its Shine embraces me again Blinded by this Light I'm falling carefully Down into a Mirror In another World I will fly again above the frozen River My Blood has fallen deep Into this endless Field of Snow My Heart is frozen As I'm caught in a Dream Endless Memories are flying beside me I will die in this Dream See me cry at the Gate I am lost in this Dream And my Wings turned to dust Never ending Pain I feel See my Tears fall like Rain Creating a River which carries my Pain Where are the Shadows Which once carried me? Where is the Stair To the Moonlight I have walked? I am falling to vanish In the darkness I love And the Grace of Night Sends for me out again Look, the Mirror shines bright, I can see it with my Eyes Oh, great Goddess, Your own Words Turned to Lies In the Spell of Midnight's Grace My Soul's embraced By Moonlight's Shine In the Spell of Midnight's Grace My Soul's embraced By Demon's Cries See the Stormwind rising higher See the Mirror in my Eyes See the Dance of cursed Shadows See me die in my own Dream Wake me up from endless Suffer I'm in the Spell of Midnight's Grace 6. Storm of Pagan Fire Fire burns bright Through dark and cold Nights Stormwinds arise, the Sun slowly dies Pagan Winds blow, the Fire burns bright Stormwinds above, Storm in my Heart In the darkest of the Night I can feel the Demons cry In black Corners of my Soul I can feel the Fire burn In my Dreams I've seen the King And the fallen Angel cry In my Dreams I've seen me lough As I stand above them all Let the evil Spirit fly Break the Walls that capture me Free my Soul so it can rise Lead me through the endless Ice The Wolves carry my Name Through their Midnight-Howling And this silent whispering Voice Calls for me from far away And my Soul shall fly Together with the Flames The Thorns will tear my Flesh As the Forest sips my Blood And the Sun will never shine When we are gathered in Moonlight I will cry in Moonlight's Shine As I become a Part of Night Let me fly above the Seals of Sorrow Through the seven Gates I fly like once in my Dreams I've dreamed of burning Wings And Thunderstorms above I've dreamed of my last Way And my eternal Sleep I'm old Ancient Memories lie Beyond the seven Gates A Breeze of Frost will blow Beyond the Path of Ninib's Gate The Seal will gleam in Hate As it burns into my Flesh As I fall into endless Pain I can hear pagan Winds blow I see Spirits fly as I sleep in Thorns I hear Spirits call as I close my Eyes Oh, Lord Ninib, God of Darkness, Hear my Screams and feel my Pain Let my Soul fly to sleep in your Land of Shades Lyrics in plain text format
