Epica - Once upon a Nightmare lyrics

On the way to sacred shores
And in the arms of the life that we adore
Moonlight shows a white design
That’s been waiting for a chance to
Seize the soul once more

"Sweet lad, o come and join me, do!"
On a road
"Such pretty games I will play with you"
Changing course

Lightning strikes where we depart
An eerie voice as the
Night embraced the heart
Resonating from the life and is moving on
To new windows of the soul

"Will you, sweet lad, come along with me?
My daughters shall care for you tenderly"
Hear his mystic voice
"I love you, for your comeliness charms me
My boy! And if you’re not willing
My force I’ll employ"
He feeds on stainless souls

We are stuck in the night
Ancient power will strike feel the fire

Now run into his arms
Leave your shelter behind
We are going to fly

Higher than high we will take on the sky
Feel our senses united by the night

Now it’s time to close the door
And open up like before
New windows of the soul
The silence of the void
A father’s life destroyed

Stuck in the night ancient power will strike
Feel the fire burn inside
Run into my arms leave your shelter behind

We are going to fly see us fly
And hear our cry we’re out of sight
Higher than high we will

Take on the sky feel my senses
Out of my sight but live on my mind
New windows of our soul
