Nightfall By The Shore Of Time Lyrics by Dark Tranquility

Nightfall By The Shore Of Time Lyrics

    A shimmertrace of divinity lost
    in the beckoning midnight vault
    (We are) lulled within the wake
    of a cold November's nightfall

    Nightfall...

    A communion of life and eternity,
    of Races scattered in the depths
    of the universal dark

    Above us minds went sailing free
    and blossomed in the vast nocturnal sea

    Paragon of beauty,
    Oh, spark of Creation;
    We march to the rhythm of the Night

    Starborn flew the Dove of Man
    in the eventide of life,
    whose wonders crowned
    our yesterdays with light

    Fire - Earth - Water - Wind

    We lived beneath the waning moon of truth
    And danced in hunger for the Powermind
    (of Youth)

    Like the dark to a dying Flame;
    Sweepingly embracing its grieving remains
    Defiantly blazing the black that awaits
    Counting the days 'til the new Age awaits

    Times' lustful cyclones arise,
    Piercing the fairest of Skies
    In elysian awakening of spiritual glory
    we see what our history belies

    Meadows of Asphodel
    Burning in the hunted dawn
    Tragedies die among fiery flames
    as the firewood of Wisdom is sawn

    Our Guardians were blind
    My lightbringer ephemeral

    Within the heart of all;
    A cold and dusky melancholy night,
    as ever sullied the fair face of light

    Whose seeds of life they grind
    To dust, of vapour is our mind
    ...evermore

    Paragon of beauty,
    Oh, spark of Creation;
    We march to the rhythm of the Night

    Nightfall by the shore of time,
    a tidal wave of fire and woe
    Swept away with the last of life
    the core of the enigma as bestowed

    Our crystal spirits melt to flow
    the mountainside along
    To join as one with seas of old
    in symbiotic songs:

    'Communion... Within the Oversoul
    of the Universe'

    We are but fragment of Eternity,
    pale shadows of what we'll once be

    In life's outer regions I will find
    the foremost Tranquility
    Chanting the odes of Magonia
    A soulstream in flight to the Otherworld

    ...to the Otherworld
