Flowers Of The Night (Bonus Track)

(앨범: Anno 1696 - 2023)

Wondrous gleam of the summer night
Sneaks in through the window pane
I hear a cuckoo's calling
As I lay by her side

By the grace of the one true God
By the providence of Christ
I have found the golden maiden
I have found the fairest one

I will fold her into my arms
I will wipe away her tears
I will keep her safe from all the harm
Forevermore

The flowers of the night
Only open up to the dark
I hear them whispering
As I lay by her side

How did I deserve this mirth?
How did I find this bliss?
Hallowed glow will shine upon her brow
Forevermore

But the colder winds will rise
And the autumn gloom awaits
For the seed inside won't grow
No child is on the way

The winter of despair
And the silence of the nights
Slowly will take their toll
Slowly will freeze our hearts

With tears in her eyes
She repeats the mother's words
Even the hounds will bark
When such a thing is near

Salt-ridden is this soil
And shriveled is the womb
A stain on our good name
Forevermore

The flowers of the night
Only open up to the dark
I hear them whispering
As I lay by her side

By the grace of the one true God
By the providence of Christ
Have I found the golden maiden?
Have I found the fairest one?

I will fold her into my arms
I will wipe away her tears
I will keep her safe from all the harm
Forevermore
