[Verse 1]

Wail - O desolate gale

Bring forth your bitter winds

Wail through heart and through soul

A poisoned kiss so deathly cold

Vanish grief and inner pain


[Verse 2]

Wail - O desolate gale

Through empires by blackened tears created

On the wings of a wind - The wind of a wraith

Whose scythe caresses in rage


[Bridge]

Wind shall sweep the moonless sky

The reflection of a sulphur fire

Wind shall sweep the moonless sky

The reflection of a sulphur fire


[Verse 3]

Dismal gale - Malicious storm of fate

Brought forth to assail the creation

To bring souls to the wind

Beyond the veils of damnation

To the one without face or name


[Chorus]

Woeful one of endless sight beyond the veil of time

Of ancient darkness you are the keeper

My soul is black and black as night are the ways of thine

Wield the scythe of the Soulreaper


[Post-Chorus]

Caressed by the cutting wind

To voyage the oceans of oblivion

Fall into the hands of destiny

For a dawn there no more will be


[Verse 4]

Wail - O desolate gale

Through empires by blackened tears created

On the wings of a wind - The wind of a wraith

Whose scythe caresses in rage


[Verse 5]

Wail - O desolate gale

Bring forth your bitter winds

Wail through heart and through soul

A poisoned kiss so deathly cold

Vanish grief and inner pain


[Chorus]

Woeful one of endless sight beyond the veil of time

Of ancient darkness you are the keeper

My soul is black and black as night are the ways of thine

Wield the scythe of the Soulreaper


[Bridge]

Wind shall sweep the moonless sky

The reflection of a sulphur fire


[Outro]

...and the wind swept through the moonless sky

The reflection of a sulphur fire...

...and the wind swept through the moonless sky

The reflection of a sulphur fire...
