lyrics

"Let me tell you a tragic tale."

Over mountains, across streams:
No earthly mass can veil my dreams.
She is the night; my dark bride;
The only being for which I'd die.

Six hundred years; I have not slept,
For her love; awake I kept.
Beyond the lakes, the castle calls me
Towards her graceful mystery.

The night calls me,
Am I still dreaming?
His words speak to me.
Am I still screaming?

Through distant forests and fields,
I crept swiftly and silently.
At the gates my sorrows drowned;
To look above at a gargoyle's mount.

I stole a rose from her dead garden,
With the hope that it may charm her.
But when I arose, I heard a wail,
From an ugly figure in a dark veil.

All hope is gone,
Am I still waiting?
The end is near;
The end is here.

Oh, how my heart bleeds
To see her lifeless body,
Gathering dust from centuries past.
Now I must believe
That I can go on hoping,
Taking each day as if it were my last.
But, my soul is crumbling,
Every time a tear falls,
I die.

All hope is gone.
Am I still waiting?
The end is here;
But I'm still alone.

Absolute perfection in its genre. If you are emotional like me, you will end up crying while listening to this album. It really touches the deepest strings of your heart and soul, a gem of doomy epicness, wonderful in every part. My most favourite 2014 album. Grewon

This is so breathtakingly beautiful & relaxing. At the same time it is such an incredibly gripping & emotional ride! It certainly does everything written in Kostas' comments & more! Thank you so much for the music Kostas! You can feel the frustrations & hopes & despair of the lockdown & being stuck at home... Very highly recommended!!! bmurator
