A Poem For The Firmament Lyrics - Singles - Elvenking

[Music: Aydan, Jarpen / Lyrics: Aydan] 

[DAWN: Fragments of star] 

It's simply too hard 

To blow out all these fragments of star 

The dawn never shines 

I'm condemned to this eternal night 

Fly away, far away 

Oh, whence I could feel you whole 

There's a light in your eyes I'll follow 

A spark of endless dreams 

There's a light in your eyes while you're 

holding me tight it enriches my life, it 

holds me spellbound 

It crawls all inside 

It's the wish to back down and hide 

Like the calm sea 

It's the haven of forces within 

Fly away, far away 

Oh, up this path I rode 

I was searching for a reason 

I lost the thread of tale 

Fly away, far away 

Oh, whence I could feel you whole 

There's a light in your eyes I'll follow 

A spark of endless dreams 

There's a light in your eyes while you're 

holding me tight 

It enriches my life, holds me spellbound 

[DAY: Autumn runes] 

On the scars of old runes, thousands of 

forgotten memories and hopes 

Are carved in stone, symbols of my childhood 

gone, on the wind floats a dream 

and hundreds of my broken promises 

and oaths 

Taken by the stream, artefacts of what I 

was 

Read the signs on the trees, 

written by golden leaves 

Winds are howling their serenades, 

Ancient chants singing all the good aims 

I betrayed 

Another night has passed, and with it all 

the fears and dreads are gone, 

And the shadows have faded 

Clouds are leaving the sky, the horizon 

point out new ways to be found, 

There is always a trail to follow, and it will 

take you home 

Follow all the scents 

before light passes away 

Long before the shadows fall 

As covering miles in the distance 

you will see 

What you searched, 

you will catch sight of your dreams 

Dwelling forevermore, wander aimlessly 

It's the fatal falling, on the path we 

choose 

We're searching for answers 

that never appear 

We're searching for lands beyond 

all limits, we're falling! 

Millions of emotions (have) passed 

through my heart since I'm on this Earth 

But the ones that remain are the ones 

we're living for 

[Repeat Bridge & Chorus] 

[Solos: Aydan, Jarpen, both] 

[TWILIGHT: The chant of the first snow] 

It's the sweetest Night of all 

It's a moment that lengthens 

to eternity and more 

While the flakes soundless will fall 

I hear the sound of laugther 

coming from so high above 

And the promise once made 

now it's broken 

The curtain slowly falls 

On the angel that kissed me 

It's the Night of cruel remorse 

It remains only a distant memory 

of things undone 

A return to innocence 

A travel back in time when everything 

seems clear and pure 

And the promise once made 

now it's broken 

The curtain slowly falls 

On the angel that kissed me 

[DEEP NIGHT: The Dreamcurse] 

Cursed, cursed 

That lone and threadlike figure 

So shapelessly unbounded 

Will haunt that empty jar 

That is me 

Cursed, cursed 

I'm deep into transparency 

A dreamy spiral staircase 

A voice, a whisper echo in the gloom 

Cursed (cursed), cursed (cursed) 

I sharpen all my sleeping senses 

Encircle my own wish 

I'll never die! 

Cursed, cursed 

A gloomy sense of sadness 

Impaled my arid heart 

To the sceptre of melancholy 

Cursed (cursed), cursed (cursed) 

On the stroke of my halfhour 

The token has been shown 

Eternal wearing the Red Death masque! 

Thousand ways of living 

In the end (I) got my reward 

I don't feel alone no more 

Fly away, far away 

Oh, up this path I rode 

I was searching for a reason 

I lost the thread of tale 

Fly away, far away 

Oh, whence I could feel you whole 

There's a light in your eyes I'll follow 

A spark of endless dreams 

There's a light in your eyes 

while you're holding me tight 

It enriches my life, holds me spellbound 

...and finally is day again... 

On the scars of old runes, thousands of 

forgotten memories and hopes 

Are carved in stone, 

symbols of my childhood gone, 

on the wind floats a dream and hundreds 

of my broken promises and oaths 

Taken by the stream, 

artefacts of what I was 

Read the signs on the trees, 

written by golden leaves 

Winds are howling their serenades, 

Ancient chants singing all the good aims 

I betrayed 

It's the fatal falling, 

on the path we choose 

We're searching for answers 

that never appear 

We're searching for lands beyond 

all limits, we're falling!
