1. TAKEN BY NIGHTSPIRITS

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. ON CELESTIAL WINGS

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 . . .

4. MY NOCTURNAL JOURNEY

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. THE NIGHT WANDERER

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. SHORES OF THE SKY

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. A DYING ANGEL'S TEARS

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. NIGHTSIDE VALKYRIES

(Instrumental)


9. TO SAIL ACROSS THE NIGHT SKY

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. WONDERS BEYOND DUSK

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
