1.
With my heart I sail towards eternity With my thoughts I fly, my mind departs from me Within the cold spirit lies the shining soul So I lay down and drift towards my eternal goal Take me to your realm, O, spirits of night Gazing deep inside my soul is free Into eternal darkness shall you take me As I fade away, I take my final breath There is no time nor space in the realm of eternal death From the burdens of flesh my soul is free Ashes will circle for all eternity . . .
2.
From this frozen desert A victim of decay Surrounded by icy winds Slowly I am carried away Close to the darkened core Where life is descending Glancing into the abyss Life is near to its ending On celestial wings Visions of mortality Truth beneath illusions Finally is revealed On celestial wings Visions of beauty Wings made of stardust On celestial wings Never to return To where we came from . . .

Mountains, lakes, rivers, cold, magic, darkness On paths of ice and frost Amidst the cold dead trees Hills, skies, pathways, solitude, loneliness, frozen Throughout the veils of dark My pilgrimage goes on As I walk these paths of trees again The olden paths of night As I fly to heights noone has been Eternity fills my sight As I ride through forests of old again My nocturnal journey has just begun
5.
Nocturnally your Journey is in skies up high the pathway goes The secrets of the night will be shown to those who glance who see In night and in morning's shine you appear for those who glance You great wanderer of the night on paths of glory and of bright As the veil is pulled overhead Sparks of bright As you seem to hide In shadows dark of night
6.
Far away from home light will never last I find myself alone in future and the past And they take my breath, the things that I have seen The wisdom of holy death just seems like a dream To unfold The unknown and reach foreign dimensions Which lie beyond my shores of the sky
7.
Of dim nature, a dying soul That will cease to exist once and for all The burdens of pain that it bears An angel's golden and bright shining tears Like a plume, a falling leaf Drops of sorrow, heavy tears of lonesome grief Death awaits, life to drown And take the soul to its ultimate throne
8.
9.
Hear natures whisper Breath of the seas A freezing chill over the hills Lying on stone, devouring haze A star in remoteness to ablaze Beholding infinite beauty Drifting above earthly shine Life to abdicate from earth My soul to lift high up in the sky Immortal divinity . . . Palace of silence . . . Goddess of elegance . . . Hear her crying in the forest and high up in the sky Beholding infinite beauty Drifting above earthly shine Life to abdicate from earth My soul to lift high up in the sky Moonlit waves far in the distance never to be reached Glimpse of wonder . . .
10.
As the light is dragged away Into distance far away A final spark hope in the end Blue and black the abyss blent As the birds of brightly shine Form again bright in the night In darkening skies pale they fly Blue blends black high in the sky The veil of black is pulled overhead The sun so distant for night she has set And as night falls nocturnal ghosts search down here for sylvan hosts Within the dark and sacred trees, dwells the knowledge of thousands of years As the wonders of the night in deepest woods and in the sky offer me my nightly bane I SHALL SUMMON STORM AND RAIN
