Intro:
Em	D	C	Am	Em	(3x)
Em	C	Em	C

Am
A nocturnal concerto
                                  Dm
Candlelight whispers me where to go

Hymn of gathering stars as my guide
                     G           Em
As I wander on this path of the night

Am
Embroidery of the stars
                               Dm
Undress my feelings for this earth

Send me your salva to heal my scars
              G               Em
And let this nakedness be my birth

Macrocosm poured its powers on me
And the hopes of this world I now must leave
The nightwish I sent you centuries ago
Has been heard by those who dwelled in a woe

The distance of our bridal bed
Await for me to be dead
Dust of the galaxies take my hand
Lead me to my beloved's land”

Interlude:
Bb	F	Eb	Gm	F

Bb
"This constant longing for your touch
             F                   Eb
This bitter ocean of hatred and pain
                           Gm       F
This loneliness I need to be who I am

Bb
The oceans are as alone as I
                F                Eb
Somebody take away this gift of mine
                                 Gm          F           Gm
No charisma for the beast! But still I love you, forevermore!"

Gm	Em	C#m	Em	C#m	Em

Em	D	C	Am	Em

Em	    D
“Come to me
                 C	Am
Deliver me from you
         Em
And from all the days of the Earth”

Em                D
No last words to say
                  C
Only memories remain
  Am                Em
A farewell then, my path goes forever on

Em	D	C	Am	(3x)
