Midnight Solemnly Dance

Darkseed Midnight Solemnly Dance Lyrics
1.Chariot Wheels

Leaves by night and day
Webs with color grey
But she still delights
mirrors magic sights
Whn the moon was overhead
The red-crossed knight forever kneeled
like the branch of stars we see
She loosed the chain, down she lay
The broad stream brought her far away
I am a part of all she met
Rivers drowning lands
Gleams untravelling hands
Wandering if I might
from morn to night
'cause I grew both deaf and blind
Damned to win, unskilled to find
Dark sheres no ship's ever seen
The leaves upon her falling light
ere she reached upon the tide
Singing in her song she died
Hold me - to reach heaven from hell
Leave me - from cold eyes farewell
Hold me - in sounds royal cheer
Leave me - leave my palace here
When we fall, when we fall
below cold thunder's upper deep
When we fall, when we fall
her eyes so hard beneath the sea
When we fall, when we fall
subdue me to the useful good
When we fall, when we fall
to drown in sadness brotherhood


2.Forgetfulness

And I seek sweet favours carved in gold
And I bare the light my breath to hold
Early seen unknown, but known too late
How came this gentle concord,
can You tell me was it fate ?
I cross the entrance, push the door
to crawling sadness hurting more
I see I hear the trembling sphere
Come and pass, alas, stay here !
And I breathed such vows love used to swear
It's too rich for use, for earth too dear
Now sadness is beloved and love we gain
I see me I see You and all I know is
hurt is lying plain
I pity silence sad,
I enjoyed the vital light
O that she knew, knew I did...
God alone in grievance lies,
I thank You for Your cries,
I leave You now, leave You now...
When I feel my insane blue
I dive into the see for You
and hope to drown by falling down
Weapons out to pierce my grief
I hide my blade alike in peace
Drop the curtain, I will leave
I don't care, I don't go,
I don't leave You when You will
I don't care, I don't go,
when You cease my love to kill
Burning ice and wondrous flaming snow
And I see more devils hell can hold
I will leave the break of day
No more passion, no more lust
and only fume of sigh will stay


3.Like To A Silver Bow

Once I wrote her name upon the sand,
but came a wave and washed it away
Again I wrote it with a second hand
but came a tide, made my plans prey
Who so list to think, I know where is a sign
I am of them but furthest come behind
Yet may I, by no means, my wearied mind
draw from my thoughts, but as they flee
ashore, fainting I follow, I leave off
therefore, since in a net I seek to hold
the wind
The sweet season, that bud and bloom
forth brings
The summer has come, for every spray
now springs
With green had clad with hill and ehe
the vale
The nightingale with feathers new
the sings
"Vain man", she said, "that dost in vain
assay, a mortal name so to immortalize,
for I myself shall like to this decay
and ehe my name be wiped out likewise"


4.Love's Heavy Burden

Under love's heavy burden do I sink
Can I go forward when my heart is here ?
I cannot be here, here and there,
there and here for You and I
are past our dancing days
I like the lightning
which does cease to be
ere one can say "I see"
Beauty too rich for use,
for earth too dear
Did my heart love 'till now ?
I forswear !
Regions near me seemed all alone
My mutual cry she never heard again
Now sadness is beloved, and love we gain
Alike bewitched by charm of looks
Night sable Goddess,
from Your ebon throne
Every eye is fixed on You alone
I thank You, Moon, for showing me the way
Trip away, make me stay, meet me all
by break of day
You made mine eyes and merry tears
O grim-looked night, the way you fear !
Full many flowers born to blush unseen
And waste their sweetness now,
share their last gleam
Trip away, make me stay,
meet me all by break of day !
Heaven/hell, shadow-dancer
heatened blood makes holy hands unclean
Mine eyes look sad,
the grim-looked night away
stare around the sphere
to blush unseen - Your tears
When You turn away
Leave me out of the end
Turn Your insane out
Leave me, if You will
Away from light steals forth my soul
I want give cure as know
But love's a smoke with fume of sighs
So swallow down and rise, autumn rise !


5.Lysander

Neglect me, lose me
only give me leave,
unworthy as I am
to follow Your grief
Therefore the moon,
the governess of floods,
pale in her anger
washes all the air
Fall in the fresh lap
of the crimson rose
The human mortals want
their winter cheer
Love takes the meaning
in love's conference
So that but one heart
we can make of it
The stary welking
covers You anon
with dropping fog
as black as acheron
Thorny anger, be not seen,
come not near our fairy-queen
For night's swift dragons
cut the clouds
I tary for the comfort of the day
Fair love, I see, I forgot our way
Stand still, You ever moving spheres,
in misery noone will here
And they shoot chillness to my heart
I can't break the midnight sigh


6.My Worldly Task Is Done

Falling into the hole
Starfall - the horizon
This hateful imperfection of her eyes
They swell lke orient pearls
Why should they stay ?
Pressed by love to go
You dont speak as You think
it cannot be !
Your vows to her and me !
How shall we find the concord
of Your night and day
And I go, oh spite, oh hell,
to vows that would consist
of the wind
So sorrow's heaviness
does heavier grow
Give me Your hands if we be friends
Oh peace will not harbour me
since night's swift dragons
cut the skies
Night and silence, are You there ?
Weeds of chillness he does wear
So awake when I'm gone
To heaven's breaking fields I come


7.Night Mislead

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 ?
Liebe verendet zu Staub und verlabt mich
Mein Geist, er schaut auf zu den hoheren
Zielen und reichert fur mich Unvergangliches
an, Vergangliches bringt mir nur
endliche Freuden
Leave me, oh love, which reachest 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
Verbreite die Strahlen, gib' mir Deine Macht,
die die Wolken besiegt und das Licht mir bewegt
durch den Fruhling des goldnen belebenden Blickes
Ich suche den Weg in der Dammerung schwer
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


8.The bolt of cupid fell

When fourty nights shall beside you brow
and dig deep wounds in your beauty now
Your youth's proud livery so gazed on me
tomorrow will be darkened sealed

Look how a bird lies tangeled in a net
Pure shame and awed resistance made him fred
So fastened in her arms the favoured lies
She found more beauty in his varied eyes

Cut is the brunch that might be grown
with you faith, the treasure of your lusty days

Then being asked where all your beauty lies
I say it to your deep-sunken eyes
"As if the dead the living should exceed
possessed by heavens heart and hand"

He burns with basful shame
She with her tears does quench the maiden
burning off her cheeks
Then with her windy sighs and golden hands
to fain and blow them dry again she seeks

Look how a painter would surpass his life
His art with nature's workmanship at strife
In limmming out a well-proportioned steed
as if the dead the living should exceed


9.The Bolt Of Cupid Felt

When fourty nights shall besiege Your brow
and dig deep wounds in Your beauty now
Your youth's prout livery so gazed on me
tomorrow will be darkened sealed
Look how a bird lies tangled in a net
Pure shame and awed resistance made him fred
So fastened in her arms the favoured lies
She found more beaty in his varied eyes
Cut is the branch that might be grown
with Your faith, the treasure of Your lusty days
Then being asked where all Your beaty lies
I say it to Your deep-sunken eyes
"As if the dead the living should exceed,
possessed by heavens heart and hand"
He burns with bashful shame
She with her tears does quench the maiden
burning off her cheeks
Then with her windy sighs and golden hands
to fain and blow them dry again she seeks
Look how a painter would surpass his life
His art with nature's worksmanship at strife
In limming out a well-proportioned steed
as if the dead the living should exceed


10.The Sealing Day

I look upon myself and curse my fate
Shall I compare You to a winter day ?
Pull down Your vanity, I say pull down !
A world of made is not a world of born
I all alone beweep my outcast state
and my eternal spring it shall not fade
Some safer world in depths of wood embrace
The stars move still with sound of glace
And all he air a solemn stillness holds
My ear is much enarmoured of Your silent notes
What angel wakes me from my flowered bed ?
Oh, You have killed my sleeping fairy-land
I pray, You gentle mortal, sing again,
I'm wandering 'till truth makes all things plain
By moonshine did these lovers think no scorn
so stay but here awhile most radiantly
How glorious once above thy spear
and all the air
Heaven's matchless king does glance
methoughts he is here...


11.Watchful Spirit's Care

I gave her eyes my own to take
and round she turned my sake
My hands in need,
and gave herself indeed
I met a girl down in the meads
A fading rose was on her cheeks
Her honey eyes were dreaming wild
Full beautiful, a fairy-child
And on the floor she's all alone
I sit upon this cold, grey stone
And I dream my time away
yet conversing as I may
And the stars through the spears
My heart waters full of tears
Run in blood down the wall
for another give You ease
Do You know who made You
You are called by what You do
Into spheres, spheres we see
Joy reduced to misery
I fell my strength to fade
Almost asleep, my only sake
She spoke the word, used the clue
"I love You true..."
And the fields, black and bare
The eternal winter's there
Fed with cold, fearless hands
in a rich and fruitful land
And the sun does never shine
Joy another loss of mine
In what distant deeps or skies
burned the fire of Your eyes
- fire -
Never end...


12.Winter Noon

Well, my king, in silence sad
trip we after what we read
We the globe can compass soon
swifter than the wandering moon
I look to like,
if looking liking prays
I gather thorns,
seek nights to happy days
On life's vast ocean do we sail
I pity myself, cause passion is the gale
Tears augmenting the fresh morning-dew
I know my grievance or be much denied
Mistempered sorrow, fear me not !
You dreamt a dream tonight and so did I
And since You wove dreams of joy and fear
which made me terrible and dear
But I arose and saw the dawn
when light rode high and dew was gone


13.Witchful spirit's care

I gave her eyes my own to take
and round she turned my sake
My hands in need
and gave herself indeed

I met a girl down in the meads
A fading rose was on her cheeks
Her honey eyes dreaming wild
Full beautiful, a fairy-child

And on the floor she's all alone
I sit upon this cold, grey stone
And I dream my time away
yet conversing as I may

And the stars through the spears
My heart waters full of tears
Run in blood down the wall
for another give you ease
Do you know who made you?
You are called by what you do
Into spheres, spheres we see
Joy reduces to misery

I feel my strenght to fade
Almost asleep, my only sake
She spoke the words, used the clue
"I love you true..."

And the fields, black and bare
The eternal winter's there
Fed with cold, fearless hands
in a rich and fruitful land

And the sun does never shine
Joy another loss of mine
In what distant deeps or skies
burned the fire of your eyes?
Never end...
