Nightfall

The virtue of life is taken from me
Doom is my fate, it’s dragging me down
Until I crawl, I crawl
My sickness commands me, lusting for more
When time is nigh, my cry of despair breaks the silence:

SET ME FREE, RELEASE ME
I am lost in a dream as I’m falling

Down on my knees (down on my knees)
Sore and I'm weak (sore and I’m weak)
Autumn bears witness of the peace that I seek
Winter unfolds (winter unfolds)
Coldness it holds (coldness it holds)
Heralds the end of my future untold
Don't forsake me
Don't you tell me my deeds were in vain
If this is my fate at last
Who will tell of a heroic past?

Deceit and betrayal, I’m wandering alone
Am I bound to life and death?
Bound to this mortal shell?
All of its glory condemned to decay
My memories leave such bitter taste as I yell:

SET ME FREE, RELEASE ME
The tyrant whispers to me as I’m sinking

Down on my knees, sore and I'm weak
Autumn bears witness of the peace that I seek
Winter unfolds, coldness it holds
Heralds the end of my future untold
Don't forsake me
Don't you tell me my deeds were in vain
If this is my fate at last
Who will tell of a heroic past?
Blazing eyes, no disguise
Feeble minds fall behind
Endless cries, sweet demise
I will stand my ground
I will fight
Fight for my life

I long to remain, I long to be freed
I reach out my hand to the ungodly seed
All that I have I will give to be taken
All that I love I will leave to be shaken
Appear before me upon the invocation
Gift me with power, life and liberation
Mine shall be yours, you shall command me
My silenced pride shall rise up once more

I am the nightfall, I am the storm
I am the ashes, I am the soil
I am decay, I am the fall
I am misery, I am pain

SET ME FREE, RELEASE ME

Down on my knees, sore and I'm weak
Autumn bears witness of the peace that I seek
Winter unfolds, coldness it holds
Heralds the end of my future untold
Don't forsake me
Don't you tell me my deeds were in vain
If this is my fate at last
Who will tell of a heroic past?

Don't forsake me
Don't you tell me my deeds were in vain
If this is my fate at last
Who will tell of a heroic past?
Who will tell of a heroic past?
