Far have I wandered Down to the edge of life, where forgetfulness dwells There I'll find a place, my place of rest
I walked till the world grew dim Where silence and twilight shadows reign Ghostly flowers of pallid beauty The scent of the asphodels I walked by the elm tree False dreams clinging under every leaf With the unburied souls I waited In the field of the asphodels
CHORUS Oh, Hypnos in land of Erebos Beyond the gates of Rising Sun Unleash the dark-winged Oneiroi Let flow the waters of Oblivion Oh Hypnos in land of Erebos Hear my silent supplication Rise in the night Grant me the peace that I long for !
I came to a place of gloom A cave in a hollow mountain side Standing before its mouth I stopped and picked up A pale asphodel He lay on a drowsy bed Surrounded by empty shapes Can you smell the intoxicating essence Of the asphodel?
Do you envy those numb and dumb soulless ragdolls? Hope freely I’ll bestow somnolence upon thee.
I'm denied, I have tried to find a way to Elysium So now, please provide a merciful spell, your sweet opium
