Stealthily the shadows glide
Silent demons, side by side,
Flood the city like a tide
Under the pale moon

Through the cracks in cobblestones,
From the marrow of old bones,
Fill the night with silent moans
And bell tolls out of tune

In the darkness people dream,
Lovers whisper, children scream,
Memories like demons stream -
I pray, sweer Dawn, come soon!

But thickens yet the ghostly flow,
Faces, places - what a show,
There is no peace for me, I know,
Under the sleepless moon.
