about
Night Winds is a song that explores the themes of loss, betrayal, grief and redemption. It tells the story of a woman who flees into the forest after a bitter quarrel with her lover. Overwhelmed by pain and anger, she seeks the wisdom of the night winds, the ancient spirits of her ancestors. She yearns for a love that has vanished in time, and she struggles to find courage in her darkest moment. She wishes to atone for her faults and learn to forgive again. With a heavy heart, she surrenders herself to the night. She is then transformed into a phantom spirit-demon, who will roam the woods forevermore. In the hour of the wolf, she finds new life and love in death,forgiveness and rebirth.
lyrics
Night Winds
The sound of a howl rattles the night
Sleep is shattered by crying
The twisting of tongues, can’t be undone
Forever, Unforgiving,
Cursed by a lovers quarrel ,
A star-crossed union, for-evermore
In these dark hours, your guidance I implore
I call upon the Night Winds!
Spirits from long ago
In the hour of the wolf reveal
Mysteries of old
Sing to me your secrets
In a sussorus Breeze
I call upon the night winds
Listen! and hear my fatal plea,
Bestow your knowledge unto me!
Fleeing footsteps, shake the forest floor
I’m caught between pain and passion
Falling, I fade, into the shadow
Forever, Unforgiving
I seek to reconcile my identity
For my sins, I shall repent!
In these dark hours, your guidance I implore
I call upon the Night Winds!
Spirits from long ago
In The hour of the wolf
Reveal Mysteries of old
Sing to me your secrets
In a Susurrous Breeze
I call upon the Night Winds!
Listen and hear my fatal plea
Bestow your knowledge unto me
I long for a love that’s lost to time
I long for a strong heart and mind,
I seek the secrets of the wind
So I can learn how to forgive,
If this is what fate shall decree
I accept my fortune, shall it be
As I lay me down in the meadow
For my final sleep,
Centuries shall pass, as I slumber
This secret I shall keep
One night again I shall rise
From the earth reborn
This colorless flesh and bone
Shall become my eternal form!
The knife in my hand, the bloodstains at my feet,
behold the book of shadows,
Sacrificed, to the Night Winds
Forever, forgiven,
Breathe, deep into me
Forever, may I roam!
In these dark hours, your guidance I implore
Forgive me now, that I can forgive!
I called upon the Night Winds!
Spirits from long ago
The hour of the wolf
Revealed, Mysteries of old
As I called upon the Night Winds
They set my spirit free!
I called upon the Night Winds
I called upon the Night Winds
I called upon the Night Winds!
Now the night belongs to me!
