|
The rain slowly wets my face as |
|
I pass through the cemetery gates |
|
Shadows licking every move |
|
I make enshrouding the earth where |
|
I walk The sound... |
|
The spinechilling sound of owls howling in the night |
|
Yes, they sang for me |
|
For me they chant, speaking in tongues |
|
Preaching for my restless soul |
|
Choirs as if from the abyss itself |
|
A dirge of celestial creeps |
|
Through the night this opus was heard as a symphony of the dead [chorus:] |
|
In the glare of the moon |
|
The winds kept embracing me |
|
Filling me with its decay |
|
As I fixed my eyes on the moonlight tombs in ruins surrounded in black |
|
These catacombs, these distant graves almost seemed to glow |
|
Closing in as they called for me |
|
I bowed in front of the tombstones |
|
I observed their ancient shape |
|
The nocturnal breeze grew stronger and so did the howling of the owls |
|
I turned around and read the epitaph and so my blood froze cold as ice |
|
There my name was engraved |
|
I saw it clear, in the glare of the moon |
|
Lurking in the darkest of shadows away from the unbearable light |
|
Something was watching and slowly approaching |
|
With eyes of fire and a breath of death itself |
|
Punctured lungs and pierced through the heart |
|
It slit my throat as |
|
I gasped for my final breath |
|
Drenched in blood, completely drained and as |
|
I fell to the ground |
|
I beheld this creature of the night |
|
But when my soul arose to join the night, claws of death pulled it back, in the glare of the moon [chorus:] |
|
In the glare of the moon [metal vocals by Jensa Carlsson of persuader:] |
|
In the glare of the moon - |
|
I drank the blackest blood |
|
In the glare of the moon - |
|
But my eyes remained obscure |
|
In the glare of the moon - |
|
The night filled my lungs |
|
In the glare of the moon - |
|
And so I was reborn... ...in the glare of the moon |
