Born to the false world, the wanderer,
storyteller, the pied piper.
On a quest for immortality,
gathering a troop to find the fantasy.

Lead by a maid, queen of the night,
voice of angel, such a divine sight.
An amazon to fight and cure
this reality with her feline lure.

Patriotic to the promised land
of never-waking dream.

Nightquest, a quest not for the past.
But for tomorrow to make it last.
Simply the best way to walk this life,
hand in hand with a dreamer's mind.

Enter the realm, don't stay awake.
The dreams remain, they only break.
Forget the task enjoy the ride
and follow us into the night.

A merry minstrel with his fingers fast
playing his lute, charming every lass.
Joins the troop with a glitter in his eye:
"Shall I find fame, or shall I die?"

Warrior with power along the path,
A hammerheart his gallantry to last.
Rhythm of sirens enemies take heed,
for in this war laws are in silent sleep.

Patriotic to the promised land
of never-waking dream.

Nightquest, a quest not for the past.
But for tomorrow to make it last.
Simply the best way to walk this life,
hand in hand with a dreamer's mind.

Enter the realm, don't stay awake.
The dreams remain, they only break.
Forget the task enjoy the ride
and follow us into the night.

Come to the Elfland the eldest said,
in my guidance you shall not be afraid.
I am the mastermind,
the wizard to show the way.

Nightquest, a quest not for the past.
But for tomorrow to make it last.
Simply the best way to walk this life,
hand in hand...

Enter the realm, don't stay awake.
The dreams remain, they only break.
Forget the task enjoy the ride
and follow us into the night.

First ones to walk this path of night,
lady in black, lady in white.
Followed by legions of night-time wanderers.

Guardians of the halls of heart,
when we from my homeland depart,
to challenge the Gods of emptiness.

May the quest begin!
