Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Thy red rays maketh me cry.
They remind me of the one
Whose love awaits me in the sky.
A bridal bed awaits us both
After the landscape of death I cross.
Before my sorrows I must die,Nightwish I send through the starlit sky.
The voice of nightly winds has awakened me,
Amidst all the grief they embrace me with relief.
Beneath my dreams and wishes
I long for thy caresses.
A bridal bed awaits us both,
After the landscape of death I cross.
Before my sorrows I must die,
Nightwish I send through the starlit sky.
"Passed away in silence
The flute from the realm unseen
Empties its heart
Making love to me
With its enchanting melody
Light of Orion
Shadow of Andromeda
Call of the dancing Universe
The love I must enter
Before thou can blame my soul
That is peace"
