Eternal Tears of Sorrow
Children of the Dark Waters
1. Angelheart, Ravenheart (Act II: Children Of The Dark Waters)
Die...
Drown...
Fall asleep...
No one will find...
The lives once so innocent,
On the days of the light and joy,
The smiles that melt even ice,
And those eyes made all rejoice
So arrived the man from the shadows,
Riding the beast of the eternal reign,
Sealed their lips by the deepest silence,
Took their lives under the darkest waves
So they drowned...
And they died...
Fell asleep...
And no one found...
At the seventh moon they'll rise,
In the waves of the darkest waters,
By the eight sun they'll die again,
In the dead waters
From the mist they come...
Immortal souls...
The children of the dark waters...
2. Baptized By The Blood Of Angels
While the seventh king of dawn is veiled by the shrouds of shadows,
And the crown of the saint is turned into rusty blades of the beast
Rise, my children of hatred,
Feel the aura of the embracing night,
You're the ones who have been foreseen,
Feeding the flames on the pyre of the reborn one
"Hail, the new king!"
On the throne...
"Of the Northern realm!"
The skies of crimson are now crying,
For the dawn that never will break again,
Yielded looks in eyes of the angels,
While falling down... Pounding the soil of the unholy
Crowned by the wreath of the demons,
Ordained by the profane rites,
Veil once so white is now burning,
In the fire of the sinful one
Baptized by the blood of angels,
Gained the heart of the darkest kind,
In his veins flows the soul of ravens
For the end... For the dusk of humankind
3. Tears Of Autumn Rain
[Music: Kylmänen, Lyrics: Puolakanaho & Veteläinen, Arr: Eternal Tears of Sorrow]
It's autumn night, the pale moon reveals my emptiness
And my hollow wrath and fear inside
I close my eyes to sense her nightly lust once again
But my rage and thirst won't fade away
The nightly mist, the scent of autumn in my heart
I can hear the winter's song again
My will of life falls away like golden leaves
I'm just a flame who dies in shades
Let me feel your pain, tears of autumn rain
Words of blood on the shore: "There is light no more"
Freezing gale of the night silenced the stream of life
Lay us down to sleep on the crimson leaves
4. Summon The Wild
Resounding through the darkness, the summoning of the wild
Be a hunter for the dying or a prey for their lives
Kill for forgiveness, share the grace of revenge
Feel the cleansing cold rain, wash away all your sins
The lust for blood is blinding my eyes,
My flame inside is witnessed by the skies,
For endless life I gave up my soul,
I pray the moon at the hour of the wolves
The bond of blood at twilight,
After the last rays of the sun,
Enjoy the feast of the midnight,
By hunting for the chosen ones
"You must walk on this path, but you will not see the dawn,
It's time to dream of forgone misty nights"
Resounding through the darkness, the summoning of the wild
Be a hunter for the dying or a prey for their lives
The lust for blood is blinding my eyes,
The flame inside is witnessed by the skies,
For endless life I gave up my soul,
I pray the moon at the hour of the wolves
5. Sea Of Whispers
When the last angel's falling above the crimson sea,
By the sun's final rising, I don't even see
How the silent tears are flowing from the reaper's eyes,
As the frost is calling for young harvest to the night,
He's crying for my heart... He's mourning for my soul.... I'm all alone
Every time I hurt myself, I somehow still survived,
Every time my dreams were killed, but they always came back alive
Tears frozen on my cheek while roaming through the time,
And the whispers calling for my harvest through the night,
I'm crying with the wind... I'm crying for my life... I'll die alone
Hear the whispered dreams of the fallen...
I'll rest alone...
Hear the whispered dreams of the fallen...
Tears frozen on my cheek while roaming through the night,
And the whispers calling for my harvest to the night,
I'm crying with the wind... I'm crying for my dreams... I'll die alone
Hear the whispered dreams of the fallen...
I'll die alone...
Hear the whispered dreams of the fallen...
6. Midnight Bird
From the land of coldness,
Under the Northern vault of the sky,
Echoes the tune of yearning,
For the times of the sun and light
It's the bird of the midnight moment,
The swan of the brightest nights,
And the song about her leaving,
While the snow covers the ground
The brightest stars in darkness,
Lighting up the stage of the night,
On the soil so deeply frozen,
Lying the bird with wings so white
Eyes full of the deepest sadness,
Leaving now the final glance,
On the landscape of her kingdom,
On the stage of the final dance
This is the dance that I once learnt,
The dance of the dying flames,
The wistful song of the midnight bird,
Will my wings carry me once again
To the place so far I leave,
To the land of the whitest nights,
It's the time to say the last goodbye,
I'll take my final flight
7. Diary Of Demonic Dreams
Nightmares...
Shadows on the wall,
Keep me awake through the night,
Faceless man in his chair,
Writing the diary of my life
By the words written in the air,
Controlling every act I take,
Insane visions of the blind man,
Becoming real before my eyes
I'm tied in my dreams,
By the words of the deceased,
The guilt in my heart,
For the deeds I have done in my dreams
My will in dead man's hands,
No one can understand,
What's the outcome of those lines,
In his book of death and life
"He will show you hell, the source of all your pain
Voices in your dreams, driving you insane"
I'm tied in my dreams,
By the words of the deceased
The pain in my heart
For the deeds I have done in my dreams
Kill my dreams!... Kill my dreams!
8. When The Darkest Night Falls
See through my eyes, my visions, my dreams
You're misled, but now you will learn,
This world is insane and so dead to me,
Through the ancient wisdom you shall find this peace
Chaos and hatred, but my mind is at rest,
No doubt, no fear, let the dead bury the dead
My heart is now burning, but eyes are so cold,
I master my mind, with the secrets I hold
9. Nocturne Thule
Cry with me, die with me, burn in hell with me,
And see your clouded mind, intertwined with your hate inside
This path was closed for ages but then I found the way,
It's now your time to face it, it's now your time to pay
When the winter night is the guide out of the light,
You'll see the sky of northern lights,
I have seen the flames inside burning too bright,
We'll share this cold and freezing night
Close your eyes to realize, dream with me to see the signs,
Void and sorrow emptiness in pain,
Tears like the black tar that's running through my veins
This path was closed for ages but then I found the way,
It's now your time to face it, it's now your time to pay
When the winter night is the guide out of the light,
You'll see the sky of northern lights,
I have seen the flames inside burning too bright,
We'll share this cold and freezing night
When the winter night is the guide out of the light,
You'll see the sky of northern lights,
I have seen the flames inside burning too bright,
We'll share this cold and freezing sight... tonight
10. Sea Of Whispers (Acoustic Reprise)
When the last angel's falling above the crimson sea,
By the sun's final rising, I don't even see
How the silent tears are flowing from the reaper's eyes,
As the frost is calling for young harvest to the night,
He's crying for my heart... He's mourning for my soul.... I'm all alone
Every time I hurt myself, I somehow still survived,
Every time my dreams were killed, but they always came back alive
Tears frozen on my cheek while roaming through the time,
And the whispers calling for my harvest through the night,
I'm crying with the wind... I'm crying for my life... I'll die alone
Hear the whispered dreams of the fallen...
I'll rest alone...
Hear the whispered dreams of the fallen...
Tears frozen on my cheek while roaming through the night,
And the whispers calling for my harvest to the night,
I'm crying with the wind... I'm crying for my dreams... I'll die alone
Hear the whispered dreams of the fallen...
I'll die alone...
Hear the whispered dreams of the fallen...
