Spectres Bride

Oh pierce the night!

There I've left you
Kneeling in prayer your head bowed low
And only longing fills the loss I've left you
I will catch you
In darkest hour, both yours and the night
To wipe away your tears I'll catch you

Fine night and clear, in times like this
Rising from tombs the spectres rove
And in a trice are close at hand
So are you not afraid, are you not afraid?

And I'll take you
For you don't longer belong here
For the place beside me I'll take you
I will lead you
For you will see the brighter day
Through gallows doors I will lead you

Fine night and clear, at such a time
Beside the living walk the dead
Are you not filled with dread?

For you must travel on my side
Day is night and dark is light
Sleep shuts the eyes, oh follow the shade
Just now on you, my thoughts were laid

Fine night and clear, at such a time
People are hasting to their doom
Suddenly death stands at your side
My sweet love do you fear the tomb?
Oh do you fear the tomb?

Oh, pierce the night!

For you must travel on my side
Day is night and dark is light
Sleep shuts the eyes, oh follow the shade
Just now on you, my thoughts were laid

Oh I will seek you
Til the dawn awaits you again
My bitter yearning is just the groan of the wind
That seeks you

Will you forget me
Or hold your heart in the chest?
That you know
I will never forget and eternally wait
