Nightingale - Nightfall Overture Lyrics

Just another midnight hour

Enjoying the cold of a dark winter night

I see the darkness devour

Everything that once was light

And the stars in the sky

Are so lifeless and so grey




Walking in the light of the moon

When the night repairs the day

From the trees comes a mourful tune

I am not alone I can hear them say

The moon is your guide

There is no place you can hide




Oh, when the night comes down

And all the colours turns black and white

Oh, when the night comes down

And the dark is conducting the nightfall overture




Who am I in the eyes of the world

What have I done that will remain

Who am I? Will I ever know?

But right now I am the king of this winterlane




Is there anybody out there? 

In the middle of the mist in the field

The air doesn't relieve me anymore

Something is here that I have never felt before

...And it's closing in on me...



I am lost in the maze of the night

Surrounded by lights so dark

I am losing all track of time

I'm trying to come out of this endless park




And the air is so dry

I can hear the daylight cry




...Is there anybody out there???...

( Swano )



I see the day is coming

The night is led astray

The dawn of new desires

The end of yesterday

I walk the road to nowhere

Ah, that's what I call home

If I only knew what I was heading for, 

But I don't have a place to roam




And then I heard the voices calling

Across the sky in flames

I could hear them clearer now

Once again I could hear them say:




Dream, dream!

I hear the shadows say

Go to sleep my friend!

But I'll remain awake

Dream, dream!

I hear the shadows say

Go to sleep my friend!

Dream, dream!

I hear the shadows say

Go to sleep my friend!

Could be my last mistake

Dream, dream!

I hear the shadows say

Go to sleep my friend!




From a place of shelter

Where I could get some rest

I was so cold but I couldn't care

And soon the sun caressed




Dream, dream!

I hear the shadows say

Go to sleep my friend!

But I'll remain awake

Dream, dream!

I can hear them say

Close your eyes my friend!

Dream, dream!

I hear the voices say

Go to sleep my friend!

I'll make no more mistake

Dream, dream!

I could hear them say

Go to sleep my friend!




My frozen eyes refuse to see

Something tells me it's too dangerous to sleep

It's like I've been thru this before

Here I am! Frozen to the core

...Frozen to the core...



I know I must be dreaming

Or am I still awake

Hallucinations rule me

But right now, what difference does it make?

...I am falling again...



Dream, dream!

I hear the shadows say

Go to sleep my friend!

But I remain awake

Dream, dream!

I hear the shadows say

Go to sleep my friend!

Dream, dream!

I hear the darkness breathe

Go to sleep my friend!

And I fade away

Dream, dream!

I heard the voices say

Close your eyes my friend!

And now I fade away

Dream, dream!

And now I fade away...
