Songs of Lemuria Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I know that it will save us all
When everything's dark
Keeps us from the stark reality
I'm waiting for the night to fall
When everything is bearable
And there in the still
All that you feel is tranquillity

I'm waiting for the night to fall
I am patiently anticipating the arrival of the night
I know that it will save us all
I firmly believe that the night will provide us with salvation
When everything's dark
During the period of darkness
Keeps us from the stark reality
It shields us from the harsh truth
I'm waiting for the night to fall
I am eager for the nightfall
When everything is bearable
It will make everything tolerable
And there in the still
In the silence and calmness
All that you feel is tranquillity
All that you experience is peace and serenity
