lyrics

Far have I wandered
Down to the edge of life, where forgetfulness dwells
There I'll find a place, my place of rest

I walked till the world grew dim
Where silence and twilight shadows reign
Ghostly flowers of pallid beauty
The scent of the asphodels
I walked by the elm tree
False dreams clinging under every leaf
With the unburied souls I waited
In the field of the asphodels

CHORUS
Oh, Hypnos in land of Erebos
Beyond the gates of Rising Sun
Unleash the dark-winged Oneiroi
Let flow the waters of Oblivion
Oh Hypnos in land of Erebos
Hear my silent supplication
Rise in the night
Grant me the peace that I long for !

I came to a place of gloom
A cave in a hollow mountain side
Standing before its mouth I stopped and picked up
A pale asphodel
He lay on a drowsy bed
Surrounded by empty shapes
Can you smell the intoxicating essence
Of the asphodel?

Do you envy those numb and dumb soulless ragdolls?
Hope freely I’ll bestow somnolence upon thee.

I'm denied, I have tried to find a way to Elysium
So now, please provide a merciful spell, your sweet opium

CHORUS
