Nightingale sing
Though it´s blacker than the bog
Nightingale sing to me
I need to hear your song
Nightingale come
And perch upon my tree
A terrifying light´s
Been flashing over me
{Refrain:}
I would not bear to rest
I would not dare to dream
Till the nightingale came
And sang a song for me
She´ll sing above the blasts
And the clothing singed by fire
She´ll sing above the black smoke
Rising from the funeral pyre
Her heart a field in bloom
Her heart a sacred snow
Her heart a mirror blinding
All the greedy as they go
{au Refrain}
I cannot help but want
To sodder all the parts
Sodder back together
All the shattered hearts
Nightingale come
And perch upon my tree
The terrifying night´s
Been crashing over me
{au Refrain, x2}
