From the forthcoming album "Nec Forma Est Verum by Children of Minerva"
lyrics
The nocturnal wind blows,
Hear its voice call to me.
From my bedroom window,
I can see you're lovely.
I come out to greet you,
For there's nothing else to do.
I approach the dark woods,
and forget all falsehoods.
CHORUS:
Rebecca, you sway and you swing so high;
Your golden hair hanging down.
A forest goddess divine,
Gifted with a starlit crown.
Shadows cast from your form,
Dance in perfect timing.
The night air's quite warm,
As the moon is climbing.
Let me bask in the joy,
Of your sweet reverie.
For the night bird's watching,
From the desolate trees.
CHORUS
MIDDLE 8:
Beneath the moonlight,
Pale skin shines by night.
Distant bells chime,
Distilled by the misty pines.
The sun begins to rise,
Breeze let's out a sad sigh.
You take flight in such haste,
The sweet night is erased.
I follow but you have gone,
For you must fear the dawn.
But we shall meet again,
So farewell until then.
REPEAT CHORUS TWICE.
