Burning Shadows Haunter Of The Dark Lyrics

Haunter Of The Dark Lyrics

I struggle in the dark



Arising, impending night



The horizon fades, and



Shadows engulf the light



My eyes are fixed



On that horrid tower



The haunter watches me



Will the be my final hour?







On this eve it has been seen



Through twisted veins of light



Wanderlust invades my dreams



It’s coming for me tonight







Hiding in this room,



Respite in the candle's glow



Still reeling from the dreams



Of the horrors only I know



The black mist that looks through me



Is still there when I shut my eyes



My pulse is racing, fear is raging



Each breath, a final sigh







On this eve it has been seen



Through twisted veins of light



Living shadows invade my dreams



It’s coming for me tonight







Celestial wisdom I now hold



I know the truth



Gazing to the western skies



I know the truth



Silhouette of fear



I know the truth



Shadows tear through the night



The storm is drawing near







Tonight







I have whirled with the earth at the dawning,



When the sky was a vaporous flame;



I have seen the dark universe yawning



Where the black planets roll without aim,



Where they roll in their horror unheeded,



Without knowledge or lustre or name.







I had drifted o'er seas without ending,



Under sinister grey-clouded skies,



That the many-forked lightning is rending,



That resound with hysterical cries....







Grant the lightning strength



For only it can save me



I see things unknown before



Things that cannot be



I feel the tower reaching to me



Light is dark and dark is light



Raging hell-wind, I'm helpless



I give myself up to the night







On this eve it has been seen



Through twisted veins of light



The haunter that invades my dreams



Is coming for me tonight
