Carpe Noctem Songtext
von Viscera

Carpe noctem
Carpe noctem

A state of inner rage
No signs of finishing
When all the years of ardor grind a will diminishing
The many moments of elation fading from your sight
The clarity of isolation truly terrifies

Every empire falls in the end
It′s just a matter of when
Every empire falls in the end
We are marked for death


Carpe noctem, seize the night
Carpe noctem, while you still can
Count your blessings, not your curses, I heard someone say
But we had each other
More than we have today
Carpe noctem, seize the night
Carpe noctem, while you still can
What is for you won't go by you, I heard someone say
But we had it all
To throw it all away

Weary eyes never lie
Reflecting suffering
As lengthy shadows grow around an aura withering
The years were never kind but now they are bereft of light
The memories of ecstasy no longer in your mind

If this is what the price is
I will gladly pay it
If this is how you feel
Then go ahead and say it
I′d savour victory but I don't like the taste
Playing with precious time I can't afford to waste

Carpe noctem
Carpe noctem
Carpe noctem
Carpe noctem


Carpe noctem, seize the night
Carpe noctem, while you still can
Count your blessings, not your curses, I heard someone say
But we had each other
More than we have today
Carpe noctem, seize the night
Carpe noctem, while you still can
What is for you won′t go by you, I heard someone say
But we had it all
To throw it all away...
