On dreadful journey, they embark
To places where we cannot go
Ever deeper in the dark
Gleam the eyes of the Night-Bird...
Rise On pale wings
Fly, the lark
Cannot escape the Night-Bird...
Herald of death
Dies, the lark
Never living was the Night-Bird...
The waking strange
A final breath
Hither comes the Night-Bird...
Dreaming Thing
With waking, change
Gone, the lark
And the Night-Bird...
