Persson, Heder and Soderling relocated to Stockholm, leaving Rytkönen and Eriksson to find new members. Contractual disputes with Black Mark ended with Rytkönen and Eriksson (along with new members from Fantasmagoria) having to change name to simply Lefay. Persson, Heder and Soderling recorded an album under the Morgana Lefay name, but only to get rid of contractual obligations. The album is not recognised by the current incarnation of the band.

In September of 2004 Lefay resigned with Black Mark and regained the rights to use their full name.

Moonlit Night
Lefay Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

MOON - DRESS THE LAKE IN SILVER
GIVE THE NIGHT YOUR SECRET LIGHT
AND SHINE ON ME FOREVER
DREAM - LET ME DREAM OF WONDER
DON'T WAKE ME UP UNTIL IT'S LATE
WHEN THE NIGHT AND I'M TOGETHER
COME WITH ME
STAY WITH ME

COME TO ME
WALK WITH ME
IN MOONLIT NIGHT
MY SHADOW BECOME FREE
RISE - FROM YOUR DAILY SLUMBER
LEAVE YOUR DWELLS AND HIDEAWAYS
IMBIBE THE NIGHT OF SILVER
YOU'RE THE MIST OF AIR. LURKIN EVERYWHERE
ELVEN KINGS AND ELVEN QUEENS
SHAPELESS UNTIL NIGHTFALL
COME WITH ME
STAY WITH ME
COME TO ME
WALK WITH ME
IN MOONLIT NIGHT
OUR SHADOWS BECOME FREE
I - I'M THE GNOME OF DARKNESS
DEAD AT DAWN. AT DUSK REBORN
TO WAKE UP MAGIC BEINGS
SOON - MORNING TEARS OF SUNLIGHT
FILLS THE NIGHT LIKE MOISTY AIR
AND WE WILL FADE AWAY AGAIN
COME WITH ME
STAY WITH ME
COME TO ME
WALK WITH ME

IN MOONLIT NIGHT
OUR SHADOWS BECOME FREE

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Lefay's song "Moonlit Night" portrays a dreamy and mystical ambiance. The song describes the night as a cloak of silver and the moon as a secret light. The singer dreams of wonder and doesn't want to be woken up until it's late, embracing the beauty of being together with the night. The song invites the listener to follow the singer on a journey, where they will become free.

The second part of the song is about rising from daily slumber and embracing the night. The singer imagines the elven kings and queens lurking in the shadows, shapeless until nightfall. The song seems to invite the listener to leave behind mundane worries and join the magic of the night. The singer proclaims themselves as the "gnome of darkness" who dies at dawn and is reborn at dusk to wake up magical beings. The song ends with a melancholic note, as morning tears of sunlight fill the night, and the beauty of the moonlit night fades away.
