Cold was the air that the evening wind brought

Silent and so quiet were the woods

On the eve of that nightDon′t know what I stayed there for so long,

So long that I could hear that voice

The whisper we all avoid

Sound from within, the quiet truth

I felt my blood slowly turning cold

Turning cold from waiting

Hours I spent there awaiting

Hoping for someone to come

To silent the voice that felt like thunder

Evael is the light, the white light

In the chill of my world, she is the one

She brings the butterflies, pure light

When ever she comes by

The darkness steps aside

But I felt my blood turn cold

Hours I spent there awaiting

Watching the light fading

You're losing the sunsets, you will never get them back

The days you spend in loneliness are seconds in shades of black

Winter was cold, but summer is even colder

Nights have been longer, they have made me much older

You′re losing the sunsets, you will never get them back

Every night you spend in loneliness are years in shades of black

Years pass, but has time stopped on me?

Morning always arises with vaster pain

And then it is sunset again

We weep the winds for your loneliness

Of broken dreams for the love you had

But now she walks forever lost in gray and woe

She's not forgiven, she's the one for winter to own

Not yours, old man, never again...

Silent people walking by

They are leaving, again someone is living

They don′t seem to be well

Quiet death on their faces

Buried a few of them today

The children and the old by the road

I could give them shelter but they decide to go...

Village is empty, dead, cold, empty

Only frozen bodies greet my arrival

Tortured by the plague, a ghost town

But her face I could not find

I searched for her in the woods again

And kept a light on my window, for anyone to come

But when even the trail of dead ended by the road

I gave up waiting, hoping

In this kingdom of my loneliness

On this throne of my thoughts

Maybe I′m the old one, sheltered by these woods

And when I lay my body to rest

I watch the ballet of shadows

Dancing through the flame of a candle

Taking me to sleep...

But the night trembled my heart

For black wings moved upon me

Hoping for my time to come

I closed my eyes and took a deep breath

But like every night before, death did not come

The wings, they moved and danced

As a butterfly, they kept dancing

Dancing around my candle

But why are you here when Evael is lost still?

The morning came with its cold caress

I curse your light for waking me again

The candle burnt down, and the burnt wings beside

Is this a sign of Evael, I arise

I opened my window, painted by thick ice

Took a deep breath and whispered her name in the air

The freezing summer burned my lungs again

As I walked through the snow

Looked deeper into the woods

And the trees waved their heads in sorrow

Cold, oh so cold is this air that the night brought

Silent, too quiet are the woods in the eve of this night

Once again I lit the candle on my window

And waited for the sleep...

Evael, my dream has been so alive

And this plague has cleansed this world for us

So please, release me now

Sink deeper to your loneliness

And you will lead her to your grave

She's lost in gloomy light

Still trying to hold her flame

You′re losing the sunsets and you will never get them back

This life you spend in loneliness is forever in shades of black

Wake up, old man, let it go, let it go...

Was it a weak sound on my door that woke me up

Or the trees sheltering me from the night?

I kept my eyes closed but still felt the light

And the room was filled by butterflies

I rose with my heart beating

For the weak hope of the midnight's hour I prayed

And opened my door to the winter night

And she fell...

She fell to my arms

In tears I carried her

And laid her down to sleep

Her eyes frozen from the thousand nights alone

She trembled and whispered

"I was lost in the woods

And the trees kept me away from you

For I brought the plague with them

With the butterflies"

Hush now and let it go

Close your eyes now

And we drift away, together away from the pain

Deep in this sheltering night, to a forgiving dream

Until one minute past midnight, the room was filled

Filled only with butterflies
