towards the crown of nights

1997 çıkışlı, ilk covenant albümü olan in times before the light'ın açılış parçası. sözleri şöyle;

war has swept across each kingdom
epic battles rage across domains
thrones are falling...
as the dark-light burns again
feeble humans...
behold me in my victory
can you see the night come?
it is indeed a beautiful view

i am the storms that rage in the night...
a blazing mist of pure blackness
i am the flame of darkness
which burns in every heart

driven by a lust for power and domination
an immortal king i am... forever to rule
i am one with the dark, a prowling shadow-wind
but in the darkness... i am the nightking

through the raven-woods i walk...
beyond the raven-lairs
towards the castle of the dragon-throne
towards the crown of nights
walk my path of victory...
a never-ending pride
cross the river of crimson tears
the eternal night is near

into the silent dark forest beyond

from the churning seas
to the haunted woods
to the snow-covered mountains
i am the night
the glorious night
and shall forevermore conquer

into the silent dark forest beyond
