Night now falls
the hour is late
time has come
it will not wait
Days of fancy
and of song
long have faded
moved along
From the shadows
by the gate
fate appears
the final date
This appointment
won't take long
none escapes
nor can prolong
Night now falls
the hour is late
time has come
it will not wait.
