Carpathia
The Vision Bleak Lyrics

From the deepest valleys to the highest mountain peaks
The beauty of Carpathia extends from the lowest to the highest points of the region.

The sun caress with care.
The sun delicately touches the beauty of Carpathia.

Carpathia! All hail to thee!
Praise is given to Carpathia.

Thy beauty is beyond compare ...
The beauty of Carpathia is incomparable.

When the soft white shrouds of morning dew
During the early morning hours when dew covers the ground,

Lay down on meadows green,
and the green meadows are blanketed in its soft, white stillness,

Thy praise is due, but keep thy poetry
Carpathia deserves admiration, but reserve your romantic sentiments

For the night you haven't seen.
for it is the darkness of night, which has yet to unfold its mysteries.

For there is no such beauty in the morning light
The full extent of Carpathia's beauty cannot be seen during the daytime.

Nor in the later hours of day
nor can it be fully appreciated when the day grows older.

As when darkness fell in the deep pinewoods
It is only when darkness descends upon the pine forests that the true splendor of Carpathia is revealed.

And the wolves go hunt their prey!
It is then that the wolves hunt and add to the natural calling of the region.

Ah, you should hear the sweet sullen song
The melancholic allure of Carpathia can be heard in the ethereal songs

Of the night birds call to the moon
of the nocturnal birds singing to the moonlight

And the glorious howling sound of the wind
and the magnificent howling of the wind

In all wastes and plains marooned.
across the uninhabitable desolation of the plains and beyond.

And when the sun doth set in Carpathia ...
When the sun is setting in Carpathia,

... and the worm that gnaws the grave
the worm that feeds on the dead,

Crawls hence forth from gulf and cave.
emerges from their subterranean lairs.

And when the moon doth rise in Carpathia ...
When the moon is rising in Carpathia,

... then the creature leaves the lair
creatures venture out of their hiding places.

And the ghost is on the stair.
It is then that ghostly apparitions appear in the stairways.
