Skyfires Dance Lyrics - Singles - Nattvindens Grat

Night fell upon the world 

All there asleep but the rider 

Birdsong echoed no more 

Horizon bathed in fire 

From behind the cloudwall they came 

Myriad in numbers - the sky filled with flames 

"Fires, be my guide! Show me there to ride!" 

And the fires formed a sea 

Showed him waves, pointed towards east 

"There is my sign! Drawn on to the sky!" 

Like the old man hath told 

That night hath to be the one 

When nature is asleep 

The skyfires begin to dance 

From behind the cloudwall they came 

Myriad in numbers - the sky filled with flames 

"Fires, be my guide! Show me there to ride!" 

And the fires formed a sea 

Showed him waves, pointed towards east 

"There is my sign! Drawn on to the sky!" 

Time passed so fast 

Morning arised 

The rides had fallen asleep 

The first rays from sun 

Opened his eyes 

He knew not if he had been dreaming 

He remembered the night 

Skyfires dance 

Something there was so enchanting 

How could the fires 

Obey his command 

Come into his eyes dancing 

With the mourning he rose 

Strong was his faith - he would find 

The answer to his question 

Again returned the night to his mind 

From behind the cloudwall they came 

Myriad in numbers - the sky filled with flames 

"Fires, be my guide! Show me there to ride!" 

And the fires formed a sea 

Showed him waves, pointed towards east 

"There is my sign! Drawn on to the sky!"
