Hail To The Dark

Hail To The Dark

Hail to the dark 
That fed my flame 
Evoking hunger 
Thirst for knowledge 

Its spirits kept me up cold and pale 
Led me through the wastelands of time 
Guided by the moon's spell 
Haunted by the mysteries 

Hail to the dark 
And the dancing candleflame 
Casting shadows upon my walls 
Father of the mind, lord of chaos 

They come to me at night 
Distorting my senses 
And carry me away 
Towards the blackened fields 

This is a sad journey 
Towards the kingdom of stars 
With ever-changing time 
No wonder we feel so lost 
As lives go out like candleflames 
Suddenly, one by one.
