🎧 Lyrics:
[Verse 1]
From twilight’s edge, they softly sing,
Their voices cold as winter’s sting.
The air grows still, the night unfolds,
As silence grips the world it holds.
No path is safe, no flame is bright,
Their whispers steal away the light.
They call your name in secret tones,
Beware the night, or lose your bones.
[Chorus - Female Gregorian Chant in Latin]
"Veni nocte, anima perditorum,
Vocem tuam audimus, ad tenebras ducimur."
[Verse 2]
In shadows deep, their eyes appear,
Invisible, yet always near.
Their hands reach out through endless mist,
To pull you into their abyss.
The wilds will weep, the stars will fade,
The forest turns into a grave.
You’ll feel their breath upon your skin,
And know that you are trapped within.
[Chorus - Female Gregorian Chant in Latin]
"Veni nocte, anima perditorum,
Vocem tuam audimus, ad tenebras ducimur."
[Bridge]
No torch can pierce this timeless black,
No wayward soul will make it back.
They gather close, their song so sweet,
The chill of death beneath your feet.
Their silent march, it never ends,
The night is where their power bends.
In every breath, in every sigh,
The Nocturni will pass you by.
[Final Chorus - Female Gregorian Chant in Latin]
"Veni nocte, anima perditorum,
Vocem tuam audimus, ad tenebras ducimur."
[Outro]
Their song it fades, but still it calls,
Through haunted woods, beyond the walls.
The Nocturni rise as day will cease,
And find in night, their endless peace.
