I require the solace of the shadows

So the night can be redeemed

As the winds of darkness whispers my name

A kiss of death I receive

Nocturnal enchanter to thy art I yield

Within the candlelight a rapture is sealed



I set the stones for invoking ceremonies

In the twilight zones arise abstract galaxies

The magic eye unveils the blackened skies

A new horizon begins to each one that dies



The desolation makes me feel

So dark, so cold, the silence

So dark, so cold, the emptiness

Solace of the shadows



Night surrounds and embraces me

Darkness holds the secrets of man's fears

It captures my heart as the purgatory sears

I cast now the spell as I cross through raging flames

Into darkness cursing names



I require the solace of the shadows

So the night can be redeemed



Nocturnal enchanter to thy art I yield

Within the candlelight a rapture is now revealed
