Nightchild
Sabaton · Attero Dominatus (Re-Armed Edition) [2010]
In a dream i saw the world
There were madmans lies
Devils point of view
In a world of hate and anger
In a world of fear and pain
There is no time for pride
No time to stand aside.
Call me a dreamer
Call me insane
I'll survive the storm
I'll take the pain
Out of the storm come the children of the night
Out of the storm a black masquerade
Dance with the dead to the music of grief
Out of the storm a nightchild appears
In the silence of the moonlight
We can hear the nightchilds cry
Like a lonely wolf out into the sky
With a madman nor a stranger
Whose words you just cant tell
The nightchilds way
The way of no return
Call me a dreamer
Call me insane
I'll survive the storm
I'll take the pain
Out of the storm come the children of the night
Out of the storm a black masquerade
Dance with the dead to the music of grief
Out of the storm a nightchild appears
When the light fades away and the night puts me asleep
Will i ever wake up again
Will i stay in this twilight forever
Out of the storm come the children of the night
Out of the storm a black masquerade
Dance with the dead to the music of grief
Out of the storm a nightchild appears
