Deep in the land of snow storms
Where winds e'er blow in mounts' horns
The castle of one rebel knight
In pride rais'd towers to the height
With light of moon this castle's lit
The night has own home in it.
Of War and Sorrow knight doth stay
Forever master of this castle
But no one know'th his noble name -
'Gainst everyone he proud fighteth
Revenge of him gray-hair'd and ancient
And now forgotten is its source
But knight still strong and still impatient
Still fighteth 'gainst the universe.
Through colonnade he leadeth forth
'Long the portraits' dark gallery -
Walk with the torcher burn he doth
Encirled with melancholy.
Vast halls are full of emptiness
The floors are cover'd with the shades
Tall towers split of clouds breasts
Inside all nights don't turn to days
Here every corner's clad in web
In fissures stay the mournful walls
Here rules as queen immortal death
And knight as king walks through the halls.
Of Sorrow knight hath death as bride
'Gainst everyone immortal fight.
