Knight of the Night

The river flows its silver streams,
The moon throws down its silver beams
The sky is black, the stars are bright
You hear the Herald of the Night.

His steps are fast, his voice is proud,
He does not whisper, he speaks loud,
"Down on your knees and feel and hear
and know - your Lady Night comes near".

You close your eyes and soon it seems
That you will see your sweetest dreams.

The dreams she brings come never true,
But they are not deceiving you
They tell so many magic things
And you must guess what's that she brings

If you are right she smiles and says,
"Come friend, go all my misty ways"
She kisses you, you seem so brave -
And then become her knight and slave.

But if you're wrong you'll never see
What can the Lady Night's smile be.

The dream is over. I must ride
I know the way, I need no guide
My sword is sharp, my mind is clear
And I have neither doubt nor fear

Led by my heart and by Your light,
I'm at Your service, Lady Night!
