lyrics

Tales, Poems and Legends were written
but mankind ‘s Defeat underneath
the Grand Black Wood’s Night
was certain and lasting
at those remote Times
that it be certain they will come back

Arm, the arms that Night does use
neither are they glass, nor metal, nor fire
Wound, the wounds opened by the Night
never again will they be able to heal up
Dead, at whom the Night the Soul did look
never again did it see the day
ooooooooooooh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

but the Night
at every Soul did not look
and those that did survive
decided to procreate

hiding themselves and stretching
everywhere upon the face of the earth
ooooooooooooh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

mankind wanted to live
in the Grand Woods
mankind wanted to breathe
underneath the Night
rejected by the sorroundings
it did want to fight
against Shadow, Loneliness
Darkness and Cold

Shadow be not a good mankind’s ally
no more is it Darkness
Cold does freeze mankind’s heart
no wore than Loneliness in front of Night

damned will be those few beings
who dare to defy the Night’s Empire
you will carry the Defeat’s Symbol

you will carry it until the End of Time

Omens, Shivers and Tragedies
were written
for mankind’s Defeat underneath
the Grand Black Wood’s Night
shall be certain and lasting
at these closing Times
that it is certain won’t go away

Arm, the arms that Night does use
neither are they glass, nor metal, nor fire
Wound, the wounds opened by the Night
never again will they be able to heal up
Dead, at whom the Night the Soul did look
never again did it see the day
ooooooooooooh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

the Night became strong
over Mankind
the Night became One
and mankind became nothing
the Night fought and won
mankind did not!
oooooooooooooooh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
