The Pale Light of Fireflies

You lay asleep for a long time The flame so weak, so ethereal your fire So many hands have tried to capture your light And they’ve fallen into the darkness of your forests Shadows between two skies You’ve cursed the Sun and the night comes now The light goes down You hide the Sun and the night burns Your shade carves ancestral fears in my blood I have lost all my memories in the ethereal dusk Jasmine burns and its flames spread A darkness that swallows all I’ll show your fears in a handful of dust I’ll show your tears over a world of hardships And I hear your screams in an eternal while Raised the knife to the moonlight Stabbing his blade in the depths of my heart Unveiling me ethereal oaths Like a mirage in the distance We walk towards the Shadows between two skies You’ve cursed the Sun and the night comes now The light goes down You hide the Sun and the night burns So many hands have tried to capture your light And they’ve fallen into the darkness of your forests Shadows between two skies You’ve cursed the Sun and the night comes now The light goes down You hide the Sun and the night burns Shadows between two skies You ride the Sun While the tears flow down

Now I lead my fate Now I guide my fate to the dreamscapes Old yearnings and fears are frozen in time And like the breeze that comes from the horizon Waiting to die, everything is silent Hanging alone, alone in this quiet land I can see how the day is born And the stars glow in this ethereal sky From this hill where the harsh truth squeezes me My flesh and mistakes burn to the core This misery is kept in time like a floating silhouette Shaken by the wind, surrounded by crows I give you my life and you take my soul and my eyes Blessed by the sun, veiled in sorrow Cursed by the moon (cursed by the moon) Shaken by the howling of wolves Blessed by the sun, veiled in sorrow Cursed by the moon (cursed by the moon) Shaken by the howling of wolves Night falls and the light of the fireflies emerges This old tree can’t hold the weight of my drawbacks Old yearnings and fears are frozen in time And like the breeze that comes from the horizon Waiting to die, everything is silent Hanging alone, alone in this quiet land My soul will hit the ground My soul will hit the ground again Turning off the swing of the gallows

I lay on this frozen deathbed, a cold breath escapes from me My crystallized eyes like nephrite there’s nothing you can find in my stare We will never hear the wind whispering We will never see the golden hour again I can’t shout, I can’t fight my demons I can’t dance with my ghosts under the moon My hands want to caress your face Your sharpen touch drags me to the dark While you play with my heart I lay on this throne of cold stone, the empire of silence waits for me Dazzling light before my eyes, white threshold to the unknown I’m falling down in this stream that drags me under Your hands are entwined with your hands A blinding light drags me into the dark While you play with my heart Each time that your strange hands rest in me, I think I’ll die it’s like a sharpen dagger sliding through my rotten flesh and my soul is open wide, I’ll think I’ll die Why is this noise surrounding me? If I only see silence Why is this light dragging me? If I only see darkness

Emerald lights beat in the night a dismal fate waits for me its black flight comes towards me owners of this forbidden woods “Lost in the forest, ghostly fireflies” A black veil draws the skies devouring the traveller´s shadows the memories in my eyes are floating in the shallow Love fades on my skin as cold as the moonlight meets an end in you under the pale light of fireflies I have been abandoned in this miserable existence beaten, dragged, forlorn over soil without paths. So beautiful and so silence its pale dim light surrounds you in this twilight My steps led me to the gloom and slowly i was overshadowed by thy bright by that voice whose whispers are rooting deeply in my heart the threads of your fate have been broken and i’m falling into the dark Beaten, dragged, forlorn over soil without paths. A black veil draws the skies devouring the traveller´s shadows the memories in my eyes are floating in the shallow Love fades on my skin as cold as the moonlight meets an end in you under the pale light of fireflies

This mortal dispossession – forsaker! Sad horror of death, its spider weaves the threads Break away, forget my memories Born again, where agony seems a dream Night huntress find yourself in a numb pain I wait for you to ascend with the last breath As soon as you came my pain faded Along the red sky dyed with golden light (golden light) I feel your lap burning over this barren land (barren land) As my pale heart fades away Even gods die with horror in their eyes But you see your soul crowned, triumphant into oblivion As soon as you came my pain faded Along the red sky dyed with golden light (golden light) I feel your lap burning over this barren land (barren land) As my pale heart fades away I long to fade together with the flowers that wither Between the weary stars and the frozen silence Find winter in my heart ascending with my last breath I will rise like a bird that soars its flight I’ll look into the abyss with open eyes The empire of death will return me to dust And then I can be born again Night huntress find yourself in a numb pain I wait for you to ascend with my last breath

Awake in this nightmare on the edge of the night Sleepless of uncertainty, the window is fogged in black Empire of fallen hours deceived by its light How to burn without fire? How to fight the passage of time? So close to a flame that expires As soon as a promise fades away Your palace, your prison in despair – hollow realms Solemn thoughts rise to heaven... Trying to find the ghost of deliverance – again! The room is breaking by moments And your demons laugh with you Hours go by in giant steps Timeless seasons haunt my dreams For an instant admiring the morning rise and suddenly, the night Tired of wandering, tired of losing my inner fight Every time I see that stranger in the mirror My flame within burns as a dim light Every time I see that stranger in the mirror My flame within burns as a dim light Immersed in the orphanhood of my silence I’m a ghost buried in my own body An sleeping face over a barren earth Awake in this nightmare, on the edge of the night On the edge of nowhere, where never shines the sun No one to cry to, no one to blame No one to blame Faded under the gaze of empty mirrors And I ask... How to burn without fire? How to fight the passage of time? So close to a flame that expires As soon as a promise fades away... Fades away... Every time I see that stranger in the mirror My flame within burns as a dim light Every time I see that stranger in the mirror My flame within burns as a dim light

(From the horizon of the night) See the light in the distance Feel the dark as the shelter of the damned See the stars in a breath of time Feel the crave from the horizon of the night Seasons fall, my world blows away Shoved by the crystal winds You immerse me in the night My fears are born in you On sleeping woods, their roots clings me to death The edge of the sun is sinking The enchanted light falls like whitish scales See the light in the distance Feel the dark as the shelter of the damned See the stars in a breath of time Feel the crave from the horizon of the night Like ephemeral bloom of dawn The speechless wind wipes my tears Under a faceless sun, silhouettes appear The shine of its light blinds you And it burns out in your soul Tear me apart from within Before the pale stare of the faceless His eyes are fixed on me I hear a flutter in the silence Taking a resigned soul to say goodbye Seasons fall, my world blows away Shoved by the crystal winds You immerse me in the night My fears are born in you On sleeping woods, their roots clings me to death See the light in the distance Feel the dark as the shelter of the damned See the stars in a breath of time Feel the crave from the horizon of the night Like ephemeral bloom of dawn The speechless wind wipes my tears Under a faceless sun, silhouettes appear The shine of its light blinds you And it burns out in your soul Under a faceless sun, silhouettes appear The shine of its light blinds you And it burns out in your soul

Old slumbered oceans Where is the shore? The smell of the quiet land I hear their whispers calling me A cold dying future Collapsing violently by my side A grey fallen dream Shipwrecked in the vacuum Home... Old slumbered oceans Where is the shore? The smell of the quiet land I hear their whispers calling me A cold dying future Collapsing violently by my side A grey fallen dream Shipwrecked in the vacuum Home...
