The Dark Minstrel Plays Lyrics


A breeze of the restless and dying

It gives him shudders of fear

So he hides away afraid

Cause the end is near

Now he sees angels falling

Someone below is calling

She knows his name by heart

And his soul

Avoiding life and death by a screen of smoke

So divine and free in his wildest dreams

But he will lose h is mind

Cause there's evil around

Now as the dark minstrel plays

His deathwatch is silently ticking

Believes it increases in pace

He's scared like a child

With bugbears gone wild in his dreams

Now he hears voices whispering

Making his reason blistering

He hides away in holy places

Between the sacred words

There's a reason to believe in the power of evil

Cause it can't be deceived

When you deny or ignore it you fertilize it

By disguising it you're hiding evil away
