The Dark Minstrel Plays Lyrics

A breeze of the restless and dying
It gives him shudders of fear
So he hides away afraid
Cause the end is near

Now he sees angels falling
Someone below is calling
She knows his name by heart
And his soul

Avoiding life and death by a screen of smoke
So divine and free in his wildest dreams
But he will lose h is mind
Cause there's evil around
Now as the dark minstrel plays

His deathwatch is silently ticking
Believes it increases in pace
He's scared like a child
With bugbears gone wild in his dreams

Now he hears voices whispering
Making his reason blistering
He hides away in holy places
Between the sacred words

There's a reason to believe in the power of evil
Cause it can't be deceived
When you deny or ignore it you fertilize it
By disguising it you're hiding evil away
