lyrics

Slowly daylight fades
Leaves darkness bound to reign
I watch the circling crows
Above the golden fields of grain

The last warm rays of sunlight
Pass cloud laden Autumn skies
I bid my Lady Farewell
For soon I’m bound to die

The scion of my seed
Now grown up pure and strong
My duty is fulfilled, I go
To where I now belong

Oh sweet impending darkness
Cover me in velvet shroud
This sputtering candle slowly dies
My essence soon worn out


There’s no further sense in life
No fate which beckons me
Without a goal for which to strive
The Earth now longs for me




So here I shed my tears
To salt the bitter ground
And mourn all those I've lost
And those I've never found

There ain't no beauty in
The last sunrise my eyes shall see
Maybe then in another life
Fate might be mercyful to me


I reject this life of failure
Of illness, pain and broken love
No more strings which make me dance
As puppet for the gods above

I dearly hope this wounded heart
Will finally yield to all this pain
Can’t bear another jest of fate
To hope when there’s no hope to gain


Refrain
The sun and the moon
Shine in equinox’ gloom
The feast of Mabon
Is heralding my doom

In equinox' gloom
I'm meeting my doom
