Ominous Grief - On The Shores Of Endless Worlds

There he was floating, up in the air
Shrouded by a black cloak
In the moonlight I stood enchanted
Hearing no voice but the murmuring wind

A twisted finger pointing into darkness...

Then I saw a path lighten before me
Passing through the moonlit woods
I caught glimpses of running shadows
Among the trees and into the night

With my first step into this forbidden track
Words lost their meaning and voices had no sound
Colours were fading and the dead were to haunt
Dark majesties had returned from the grave

Hours were passing by but the night was standing still
Winds were of winter, the chill, I couldn't feel
The moon was blood red, full and wide
From its soul possessing beauty I couldn't hide

In eternal silence, lie myself to rest...

As sombre winds faded away I found myself standing on a shore
Where the waves meet the silvery sands
And the night seems so peaceful, so it pretends

I saw a boat coming towards me
An empty boat sailing on its own
On the deep blue crystal waters
The waters that seemed depthless

And there I was sailing in the boat
Travelling across this gloomy ancient lake
I saw creatures' black shapes in the depths
Dancing, twisting, they must have been in pain

The silvery moon glow was spilling on the cold waters
I thought about the life I had left far behind
Driven forth from the life they think is beautiful
Who would have cared if I were dead or alive?

I fell asleep drowning in my thoughts
Nightmares haunted me in my restless sleep
When I opened my eyes, the boat was ashore
And then I looked around, I saw dreams had come true

On the shores of endless worlds...
