Child of the Darkness Lyrics by Aeternitas

Tales of the Grotesque

0

Once the fires burned in me
Now the flame has disappeared
What is left is a haunting hole
Where the shadows fall upon my soul...
There is only one identity
And from itself it will persist eternally
Now the time has come for me to die
But I foretell that I will live so do not say good-bye
In the moment when she passed away
Morella′s daughter saw the light of day
This was next door to a miracle
But so mysterious that she remained a nameless child
Nameless and hidden
Child, child of the darkness
Fallen from grace
What is your secret? (Will you return?)
Born, born from the shadows
Into the night
What is your name? (What is your name?)
While she grew up in this darkened place
The child evolved the likeness of her mother's face
Also strange was her maturity
She spoke a woman′s words, but she remained a helpless child
Helpless and hidden
Child, child of the darkness
Fallen from grace
What is your secret? (Will you return?)
Born, born from the shadows
Into the night
What is your name? (What is your name?)
Standing at the altar
Waiting to proclaim
The priest looked at her father
"Morella is thy name!"
Dark, cold and frozen was her response: "I'm here!"
Child, child of the darkness
Fallen from grace
Fallen Morella!
Born, born from the shadows
Out of the night:
Raised from the dead
She was reborn
Reborn
