Burning Shadows - Haunter Of The Dark lyrics

rate me

I struggle in the dark

Arising, impending night

The horizon fades, and

Shadows engulf the light

My eyes are fixed

On that horrid tower

The haunter watches me

Will the be my final hour?

On this eve it has been seen

Through twisted veins of light

Wanderlust invades my dreams

It's coming for me tonight

Hiding in this room,

Respite in the candle's glow

Still reeling from the dreams

Of the horrors only I know

The black mist that looks through me

Is still there when I shut my eyes

My pulse is racing, fear is raging

Each breath, a final sigh

On this eve it has been seen

Through twisted veins of light

Living shadows invade my dreams

It's coming for me tonight

Celestial wisdom I now hold

I know the truth

Gazing to the western skies

I know the truth

Silhouette of fear

I know the truth

Shadows tear through the night

The storm is drawing near

Tonight

I have whirled with the earth at the dawning,

When the sky was a vaporous flame;

I have seen the dark universe yawning

Where the black planets roll without aim,

Where they roll in their horror unheeded,

Without knowledge or lustre or name.

I had drifted o'er seas without ending,

Under sinister grey-clouded skies,

That the many-forked lightning is rending,

That resound with hysterical cries....

Grant the lightning strength

For only it can save me

I see things unknown before

Things that cannot be

I feel the tower reaching to me

Light is dark and dark is light

Raging hell-wind, I'm helpless

I give myself up to the night

On this eve it has been seen

Through twisted veins of light

The haunter that invades my dreams

Is coming for me tonight
