Rêverie
Noctes Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Archangel dark in raven garb.
Revelation of dreams to follow.
Apocalyptic shade triumphant the night.
Aroused to guide my shadow.

Wings of twilight carries me.
Through graven dreams and mysteries
Upon the moonlit wintersky
In midnight drama I greet the silence.
The dreams I reap Hedonic feast.

An ode to flesh and darkness
Euphoric tones inveigle.
From the shades ululation whispers
To lure me through the veils of time.

Demons-Departed souls of the dead.
The decipies of dreams
I'm driven to their depths.

From my reverie awaken
Frostbitten by the snow
Lying dead but dreaming
In winterdoss entombed
Buried in the semblance
Of a nightmare yet in afterglow to sprout.

Wings of twilight carries me.
Through graven dreams bad and
Upon the moonlit wintersky
In midnight drama I greet the silence.
The dreams I reap Hedonic feast.

Mysteries unknown reality past
Visions from dreamlands so dark.

Midnight drama dreams flows free.
Aeons past in Reverie
Embedded in the veils of time
Mummified Embraced in rime
Voyager of depths unknown.
Sceptred with a thorned crown
My soul is bound to seek again.
Within the voids where life and death descends
