Habbanan Beneath The Stars lyrics

Song information

Artist: Summoning
Album: Nightshade Forests

Lyrics

In habbanan beneath the skies
Where all roads end however long
There is a sound of faint echoes
And distant echoes of a song
For there men gather into rings
Round their red fires while one voice sings -
And all about is night

Not night as ours, unhappy folk
Where nigh the earth in hazy bars
A mist about the springing of the stars
There trails a thin and wandering smoke
Obscuring with its veil half-seen
The great abysmal still serene

A globe of dark glass faceted with light
Wherein the splendid winds have dusky flight;
Untrodden spaces of an odorous plain
That watches for the moon that long has lain
And caught the meteors' fiery rain -
Such there is night

…And caught the meteors' fiery rain
If I am dead and gone, would you remain
