Dark Tranquility - Nightfall By The Shore Of Time Lyrics
A shimmertrace of divinity lostIn the beckoning midnight vault(we are) lulled within the wakeOf a cold novembers nightfallNightfall...A communion of life and eternity,Of races scattered in the depthsOf the universal darkAbove us minds went sailing freeAnd blossomed in the vast nocturnal seaParagon of beauty,Oh, spark of creation;We march to the rhythm of the nightStarborn flew the dove of manIn the eventide of life,Whose wonders crownedOur yesterdays with lightFire - earth - water - windWe lived beneath the waning moon of truthAnd danced in hunger for the powermind(of youth)Like the dark to a dying flame;Sweepingly embracing its grieving remainsDefiantly blazing the black that awaitsCounting the days til the new age awaitsTimes lustful cyclones arise,Piercing the fairest of skiesIn elysian awakening of spiritual gloryWe see what our history beliesMeadows of asphodelBurning in the hunted dawnTragedies die among fiery flamesAs the firewood of wisdom is sawnOur guardians were blindMy lightbringer ephemeralWithin the heart of all;A cold and dusky melancholy night,As ever sullied the fair face of lightWhose seeds of life they grindTo dust, of vapour is our mind...evermoreParagon of beauty,Oh, spark of creation;We march to the rhythm of the nightNightfall by the shore of time,A tidal wave of fire and woeSwept away with the last of lifeThe core of the enigma as bestowedOur crystal spirits melt to flowThe mountainside alongTo join as one with seas of oldIn symbiotic songs:communion... within the oversoulOf the universeWe are but fragment of eternity,Pale shadows of what well once beIn lifes outer regions I will findThe foremost tranquilityChanting the odes of magoniaA soulstream in flight to the otherworld...to the otherworld
