Clive Nolan - Highgate Lyrics
Jagman:My friends we are gathered to celebrateThe shadowy side of lifeAnd what better setting than hereBathed in the moon’s brooding lightMy friends enjoy the festivitiesDance like there’s fire at your feetI wish I could share this night with you allBut I have a quest to completeI search for an answer to mysteriesFar beyond power and wealthAnd soon you will witness the fruit of my dreamsEven greater than life itselfBe patient my friends, I’ll returnBe patient my friends, I’ll returnCarpe Noctem… Seize the nightAmelia:By reading the curves and the lines on your palmI know what the future will bringThe answers to all of the questions you dreadAnd the cost of your virtues and sinsYour head, your heart, your house, your landIs drawn in paths across your handAmelia & Chorus:Don’t run away…don’t run awayLet us uncover your fateAmelia:The intricate Web of God’s glorious planIs laid out and clear to my eyesJust trust in my readings and I will revealHow the map of your destiny liesFemale Chorus:Show us, show us what is to beShow us, show us what do you seeMale Chorus:Unleash your muse, set light to the fuseReveal who will winFull Chorus:Expose who is destined to loseAmelia:A journey of length lies in store for you sirIt will lead to the place of your dreamsYour lifeline is long but your luck not so strongYour wife is not all that she seemsYour head, your heart, your house, your landIs drawn in paths across your handAmelia & Chorus:Don’t run away…don’t run awayLet us uncover your fateGardelle:Look for the angelEva:Search for the harpGardelle, Eva & King:Time is slipping awayKing:The moon is fullGardelle, Eva & King:We must follow the signs to the graveGardelle:Hope is so fragileEva:Only once chanceGardelle, Eva & King:We must not let it fadeKing:The moon is fullGardelle, Eva & King:We must follow the signs to the graveAmelia:The clues are as plain as the nose on your faceYou can see them yourself if you lookYour future is etched on the palm of your handIt is here like a vast open bookYour head, your heart, your house, your landIs drawn in paths across your handAmelia & Chorus:Don’t run away…don’t run awayDon’t run away…don’t run awayGardelle:I will watch over this reveling crowdYou go and find this Skull in the groundEva: I see it…it’s over there!Gardelle:Get to it fast, there are too many eyesSomeone is bound to see through our disguiseKing & Eva:Here she stands, this marble angelHarnessing the brightness of the moonEva: It’s gone…the Skull has been taken!King: We were too late. Jagman was here first.Eva: So, what is left for us to do now?King: There is still one more artefact to acquire. We must travel to the German Confederation. We can still prevent the Anzeray resurrection, but we have to leave…immediately!Chorus:Carpe Noctem…Carpe NoctemSeize the night – To hell with the consequenceCarpe Noctem – Carpe NoctemSeize the night – Embrace the experienceGardelle: It’s time for us to goAmelia: I have not found Jagman yet!Gardelle: He has already fled this place, he is long goneAmelia: No!The road to enlightenment shows us the wayTo insight beyond our beliefsAmelia & Chorus:We follow the signs without fear or dismayFor something that makes us completeYour head, your heart, your house, your landIs drawn in paths across your handAmelia & Chorus:Don’t run away…don’t run awayLet us uncover your fate
