lyrics

WITCH:
In broken mirrors hiding don’t try me even find
My pale eyes start burning like fire
I wish to start an evil dance with spirits in the night
Live out my devilish desire
I will whisper with stars on the eve of new moon
With strange splendor in my careless eyes
There is small fee for those who enters my woods
Life is the price… Just life is the price!
I must to lend a hundred lives
That is the deal with Netherworld
Ninety nine souls who have recently passed
Already caged in my crystal ball
You have ride a great while over the snow,
I will take strength in your weakness
Your clothes are wet and your teeth are set,
You will slowly falling into deepness

SON:
What a strange place never seen I before?
My wounds are bleeding I can't ride anymore

WITCH:
The Past and Present here unite
Beneath the Time's flowing tide
SON:
How to get out of this void –
From abyss vortex hide?
Don't feel the body, legs and hands
WITCH:
Nobody now will help?
SON:
In senseless war I lost all my friends
And for whom slayed now damned?
Damned!

SON:
The gloom is coming and the Night comes with it
Let us rest here my faithful steed

WITCH:
Like a wounded beast caught in a trap
No more time for the tears
Everything in a gray foggy wrap
Now I can see all your fears
Illusion and sanity are one and the same
When two worlds colliding at once;
You'll never see whom you loved again,
I won't give you a chance.
You cannot move now – your body is weak
What a shame! Death is already creeping
Oh yes, yes... I will keep our deal
Now you can take him, grim reaper!

DEATH:
Few moments you pass to the world of dead
Kharon is waiting in boat
Few moments you pass to the world of dead
To Aides take an oath

GHOST OF MOTHER:
Throw away your sorrow son
With morning shadows – ghosts of dawn
I’m in your heart even though I dead
Don't cry for me just rise your head
With beams of light eternal dark will gone... gone… gone… gone…
With morning shadows – ghosts of dawn…

WITCH:
The Past and Present here unite
Beneath the Time's flowing tide
SON:
How to get out of this void –
From abyss vortex hide?
Ivory fingers rich out to me
WITCH:
No one to blame
SON:
No, you can't fool me
Don't make me to play in your game
No!

WITCH:
How dare you disturb my mystical rite?!
My claws almost took out his soul...
How dare you remind him about the light?!
I started his name in the scroll...

DEATH:
The burial shroud suits him the best
Cannot you see, it's obvious thing?!
Just melt in the dark and never come back
And let ceremony begin!

WITCH:
But why I can't start?! What have you done?
No more my power, no more my charm
His thoughts are so clear and will is so strong
No more to me his mind belongs

DEATH:
For now I retreat the time has not come,
Awake when the sun starts to rise
"By hand of God blessed" I let now you go,
Awake and open the eyes!

SON:
I'm alive and there is still hope!
How to escape you showed me the way?
Never despair, life goes on!
Praise the sun! Praise the new day!
Cheerful Songs of the dryads I hear
And flowers again starting to grow;
In the face of death never despair!
Life goes on... Life still goes on...
