Darkseed
Midnight Solemnly Dance
Night Mislead
Music: Hertrich
Lyrics: Hertrich/Winkler
With how sad steps You climb the skies !
How silently, how pale Your face...
What may it be, that even in this place
that busy archer his arrows tries ?
Love dies into dust and leaves me dead
My spirit, He looks up to the higher
goals and enriches the imperishable
for me, the transient only brings me
finite joys
Leave me, oh love, which reaches but to dust
And You, my mind, aspire to higher things
Grow rich in that which never takes rust
What ever fades but fading pleasure brings
Spread the rays, give me your power,
who conquers the clouds and moves the light to me
through the spring of the golden, invigorating look
I search hard for the way in the twilight
And let the day be time enough to mourn
Let walking eyes suffice to vail their scorn
The shipwreck of my ill-adventured youth
Without the torment of the night's untruth
