AMORTIS - LIKE RAVENS IN THE NIGHTSKY lyrics

rate me

In eternal Silence we are drawn

Buried in Stone

Dust on my Hands

One hundred Years

In the pale Shine of a dying Sun

I fly beneath the Clouds

Like Ravens through midnight Skies

My Shade is like a Veil

That sips Life from this Earth

Into the Abyss I fall

My Soul will hunt through the Night

As a Phantom I arise

Blackwinged like a Demon I fly

Beyond the Gates of mystical Paths

Where the Bringers

Of the forthcoming Chaos gather

Under a Moon that buries all Life

Beneath a Veil of velvet Light

When Shadows dance

To Night's Symphonies

And the Graves are trembling once again

When the Grim of haunted Souls

Grasps for a dying Age

And Winds are summoned

By some ancient Gods

When Blood of Mankind flows

Above the Sins of Man

And Demons rise in bloodred Nights

To hunt the puny rest

And I, the Demon,

Wait for the day of Wrath

Preparing for the End

Armageddon comes to pass

I fly above the Graveyard

And hear her cry for me

Her dying Soul will grasp

The last Time for me

I remember the Day

When they buried her in Stone

Her Eyes still not closed

She's waiting for me

Dust on her Hands, Blood in her face

Tears in her Eyes

Visions that I will never forget

As I saw her Body lying old and grey

I felt the Hate arise

That was tearing up my Soul

All I have loved died in my Hand

I walk the Path alone

That leads me to the End

When the Sunshine fades away

And all remains is Dust

Then I, the Demon,

Come to rule this Earth

Like Ravens through this Midnightsky

We spread our Wings to fly again

Above the Ruins of a martyred World

Where Shadows wake the Dead to rise

And the Smell of Blood fulfils the air

The Angles weep upon their Clouds

Till the Sun will fall and burn their Wings

And total Chaos will remain

So my Throne may rise - forever!

Silently the Demon gets stronger, Emotions die

Power that commands the Darkness and you

Oh I, I feel I get stronger, I will become God

I will fly blackwinged

As a Demon for the last Time

Like Ravens through the Nightskies

I spread my Wings to fly once again

Through Stormclouds and Darkness

Towards my Throne

Which still gleams through the Night

Like Demons through Nightskies

I spread my wings to fly once again

Through Fire and Darkness

My Wings keep strong and I feel

I am GOD!
