The Moonflower Society
Tobias Sammet
Twilight falls, ghostly the hands
That reach out for you
Through the mist of these alien lands
Swallowed away on the road to forever
Like a storm the wraith of advance
Forced its will upon you
Sacred yesterdays, lucid and vast
For a blink of an eye it's all coming together
Like a relic of a long bygone time
Moonflowers grow from the back of your mind
Hold on, yeah
Fire in the night
I see ghosts, spectres light around me
Vivid and stark, a blaze in the dark
Fire in the night
One by one, pictures gather round me
Where those moonflowers used to grow
Lost no more, spectres gather round here
Vivid and stark, a blaze in the dark, oh
Night by night, stare into the black
Where moonflowers used to grow
As I walk through the mist
Down the ruins of things that used to be
Silent remnants of magical times
A cabinet of curiosities
Old companions and past Christmas ghosts
Juvenile levity
Sacred gatherings, pictures of days
Swallowed away on the road to forever
A covert society buried in time
Once bent on survival
Now kicked out of line
Oh, I hold on
A fire in the night
I see ghosts, spectres light around me
Vivid and stark, a blaze in the dark
Fire in the night
One by one, pictures gather round me
Where those moonflowers used to grow
Lost no more, spectres gather round here
Vivid and stark, a blaze in the dark, oh
Night by night, stare into the black
Where moonflowers used to grow
And quite suddenly
Just as if somebody slammed the door
Halcyon days buried in halcyon lore
As silence prevails
Fragments come passing me by
Slipping right through
A crevice in time, oh
Fire in the night
I see ghosts, spectres light around me
Vivid and stark, a blaze in the dark
Fire in the night
One by one, pictures gather round me
Where those moonflowers used to grow
Lost no more, spectres gather round here
Vivid and stark, a blaze in the dark, oh
Night by night, stare into the black
Where moonflowers used to grow
Twilight falls, ghostly the hands
Cala il crepuscolo, spettrali le mani
That reach out for you
Che si tendono verso di te
Through the mist of these alien lands
Attraverso la nebbia di queste terre aliene
Swallowed away on the road to forever
Inghiottito sulla strada per sempre
Like a storm the wraith of advance
Come una tempesta lo spettro dell'avanzata
Forced its will upon you
Ha imposto la sua volontà su di te
Sacred yesterdays, lucid and vast
Ieri sacri, lucidi e vasti
For a blink of an eye it's all coming together
Per un attimo tutto si sta unendo
Like a relic of a long bygone time
Come una reliquia di un tempo ormai lontano
Moonflowers grow from the back of your mind
I fiori di luna crescono dal retro della tua mente
Hold on, yeah
Resisti, sì
Fire in the night
Fuoco nella notte
I see ghosts, spectres light around me
Vedo fantasmi, spettri di luce intorno a me
Vivid and stark, a blaze in the dark
Vivido e netto, un bagliore nel buio
Fire in the night
Fuoco nella notte
One by one, pictures gather round me
Uno ad uno, le immagini si raccolgono intorno a me

Vivid and stark, a blaze in the dark, oh
Vivido e netto, un bagliore nel buio, oh
Night by night, stare into the black
Notte dopo notte, fissando il nero
Where moonflowers used to grow
Dove i fiori di luna erano soliti crescere
As I walk through the mist
Mentre cammino attraverso la nebbia
Down the ruins of things that used to be
Tra le rovine di cose che erano
Silent remnants of magical times
Silenziosi resti di tempi magici

Dove i fiori di luna erano soliti crescere
And quite suddenly
E piuttosto improvvisamente
Just as if somebody slammed the door
Proprio come se qualcuno avesse sbattuto la porta
Halcyon days buried in halcyon lore
Giorni felici sepolti nella tradizione felice
As silence prevails
Mentre il silenzio prevale
Fragments come passing me by
Frammenti mi passano accanto
Slipping right through
Scivolando attraverso
