Emperor - The Majesty Of The Night Sky

Norwegian Black Metal Band Emperor’s song “The Majesty Of The Night Sky“ off their first full length album called “In The Nightside Eclipse“ which was released on February 21st, 1994. Lyrics: Like the tide, shadows flow towards the shore of light The night comes whirling like a maelstrom Warring waves of crackling clouds embrace this nightside landscape The heavens bleed, through open wounds, the dim light of the moon The winds are crying mournfully and tears fly with the gusts They whip my clenched faces freezing skin with ice-cold burning cuts Too long I have sufferred the desert sands of time But as I drown in darkness it will release the sign My soul will leave this mortal coil of flesh and earthly life to fly into the mist of night into the nightside eclipse and experience existence on the other side As a stone of scorching enthusiasm I refract the reflecting surface of this unfathomable sea Growing circles of grief and pain slides
