Chapter Ii - Upon Fallen Autumn Leaves
Haggard · Other Songs - Haggard
On my path...
Als ich nun wand're auf dem Pfad
Und die Dunkelheit verhüllt
Den Mondenschein der Licht mir gab
Der das inn're Toben stillt
Suddently
Along the mountainside
Fog demons slowly rise
Oh wanderer you'll see
Your fate seems to be sealed by thee
As magic did weave
On sanctified grounds
He fell on this knees where he stood
And blinded by those
That have passed long ago
Here in Gildeon's Woods
As he turns his head
Hurt by the beasts
His heart - filled with fear
For this is the end?
Or will he find
The way out of here
Requiem aeternam dona eis, Domine
Et lux perpetua luceat eis
Te decet hymnus, Deus, in Ithiria
Sanctus
Dominus
Quid sum miser tune dicturus
Requiem aeternam
Il mistero
Valli di Ithiria
Deep inside the forest's heart
Enchanted by the ones
of ancient times
Magic be their light
That dimmers deep within
Night at Gildeon's Woods
Did you ever wander?
And you got lost on secret paths?
Did ever see them?
Is purity within your heart?
Then through the trees
A light you may have seen
That saved you from the dark
Moonrise
Wenn auch die Hoffnung
in mir schwand
Mit zitternd Hand
mein Schwert ich zieh'
Unterm finst'ren Himmelszelt
Der Wölfe Hunger nie versiegt
Ein Hieb, ein Schrei,
ein Schmerz, ein Licht
Doch es ist des Todes
düstr'rer Schatten nicht
Gazing at the moons'silvery light
Here, where history may fall
Enter the realm of darkened might
Courage may now be with us all
In times of freedom, times of fear
Mother death stands by their side
An unicorn, so proud and clear
Ride, when all the worlds collide
On my path...
Als ich nun wandre auf dem Pfad
Folg' dem Lichte, das mich führt
Als der Taverne ferner Schein
Tief mein ängstliches Herz berührt...
