Far have I wandered
Down to the edge of life, where forget-
dullness dwells
There i'll find the place, my place of rest
I walked till the world grew dim
Where silence and twilight shadows reign
Ghostly flowers of pallid beauty
The scent of the Asphodels
I walked by the elm tree
False dreams clinging Under every leaf
With the unburied souls I waited
In the fields of the Asphodels
Oh Hypnos in land of Erebos
beyond the gates of rising sun
Unleash the dark-winged Oneiro
Let flow the water of Oblivion
Oh Hypnos in land of Erebos
Hear my silent supplication
Rise in the night
Grant me the place that I long for
I came to a place of gloom
A cave in a hollow mountain side
Standing before its mouth its mouth I stopped
and picked up a pas Asphodel
He lay on a drowsy bed
Surrounded by empty shapes
Can you smell the intoxicating essence
Of the Asphodel?
Do you envy those
numb and dumb soulless ragdolls?
Hope freely I'll bestow
somnolence upon thee.
I'm denied I have tried
to find a way to Elysium
So now, please provide a merciful spell,
your sweet opium
Oh Hypnos in land of Erebos
beyond the gates of rising sun
Unleash the dark-winged Oneiro
Let flow the water of Oblivion
Oh Hypnos in land of Erebos
Hear my silent supplication
Rise in the night
Grant me the place that I long for
Down to the edge of life, where forget-
dullness dwells
There i'll find the place, my place of rest
I walked till the world grew dim
Where silence and twilight shadows reign
Ghostly flowers of pallid beauty
The scent of the Asphodels
I walked by the elm tree
False dreams clinging Under every leaf
With the unburied souls I waited
In the fields of the Asphodels
Oh Hypnos in land of Erebos
beyond the gates of rising sun
Unleash the dark-winged Oneiro
Let flow the water of Oblivion
Oh Hypnos in land of Erebos
Hear my silent supplication
Rise in the night
Grant me the place that I long for
I came to a place of gloom
A cave in a hollow mountain side
Standing before its mouth its mouth I stopped
