Lyrics
On the way to sacred shores
And in the arms of the life that we adore
Moonlight shows a white design
That's been waiting for a chance to seize a soul once more
Sweet lad, o come and join me, do!
Such pretty games I will play with you
On a road
Changing course
Lightning strikes where we depart
An eerie voice as the night embrace the heart
Resonating from the life tha is moving on
To new windows of the soul
Will you, sweet lad, come along with me?
My daughters shall care for y ... See More
And in the arms of the life that we adore
Moonlight shows a white design
That's been waiting for a chance to seize a soul once more
Sweet lad, o come and join me, do!
Such pretty games I will play with you
On a road
Changing course
Lightning strikes where we depart
An eerie voice as the night embrace the heart
Resonating from the life tha is moving on
To new windows of the soul
Will you, sweet lad, come along with me?
My daughters shall care for y ... See More
