Nightfall By The Shore Of Time

<br>[lyrics: Sundin]<br><br>A shimmertrace of divinity lost<br>in the beckoning midnight vault<br>(We are) lulled within the wake<br>of a cold November`s nightfall<br><br>Nightfall...<br><br>A communion of life and eternity,<br>of Races scattered in the depths<br>of the universal dark<br><br>Above us minds went sailing free<br>and blossomed in the vast nocturnal sea<br><br>Paragon of beauty,<br>Oh, spark of Creation;<br>We march to the rhythm of the Night<br><br>Starborn flew the Dove of Man<br>in the eventide of life,<br>whose wonders crowned<br>our yesterdays with light<br><br>Fire - Earth - Water - Wind<br><br>We lived beneath the waning moon of truth<br>And danced in hunger for the Powermind<br>(of Youth)<br><br>Like the dark to a dying Flame;<br>Sweepingly embracing its grieving remains<br>Defiantly blazing the black that awaits<br>Counting the days `til the new Age awaits<br><br>Times` lustful cyclones arise,<br>Piercing the fairest of Skies<br>In elysian awakening of spiritual glory<br>we see what our history belies<br><br>Meadows of Asphodel<br>Burning in the hunted dawn<br>Tragedies die among fiery flames<br>as the firewood of Wisdom is sawn<br><br>Our Guardians were blind<br>My lightbringer ephemeral<br><br>Within the heart of all;<br>A cold and dusky melancholy night,<br>as ever sullied the fair face of light<br><br>Whose seeds of life they grind<br>To dust, of vapour is our mind<br>...evermore<br><br>Paragon of beauty,<br>Oh, spark of Creation;<br>We march to the rhythm of the Night<br><br>Nightfall by the shore of time,<br>a tidal wave of fire and woe<br>Swept away with the last of life<br>the core of the enigma as bestowed<br><br>Our crystal spirits melt to flow<br>the mountainside along<br>To join as one with seas of old<br>in symbiotic songs:<br><br>&quot;Communion... Within the Oversoul<br>of the Universe&quot;<br><br>We are but fragment of Eternity,<br>pale shadows of what we`ll once be<br><br>In life`s outer regions I will find<br>the foremost Tranquility<br>Chanting the odes of Magonia<br>A soulstream in flight to the Otherworld<br><br>...to the Otherworld
