The centuries have passed for this withered land

Where once flowers bloomed and clear rivers flowed

Now the soil’s black dust and the water has turned tar

Thickly creeps like a leech from the mountains afar



While the Prince of Darkness sleeps

Cheerful laughs that haunt his dreams

And vanish when the night begins



Dark clouds blacken the sky

Like a grindstone over his memories

Of sweet loving melodies

That fell silent the night she died

And the Prince of Darkness weeps



The cold moon shines up high

Bearing hunger to his heart

With a kiss he’ll leave his mark

And his prey will become his kind

So the Prince of Darkness feeds



(Chorus)

He once fought for Christ and the Cross

But to avenge true love he renounced God

A heavy burden in a hollow chest

For he un-lives forever, and never finds rest



The hate of men took his bride apart from his side

As the Lord forbade that in Heaven they meet

To find her on Earth, then he shall live



(Chorus)



No, he finds no rest!



Searching for her through vast oceans of time

For blood is the life, and it shall be mine!



(Chorus)



No rest! (x3)
