lyrics

Sunset's burning down
Cold streets are deserted
Tardy passersby are
Hurrying to their quarters

Only a little matchboy standing tired against the wall
He didn't sell anything
He has nothing to bring home tonight

On this Christmas Eve
Outer world is frozen
Consciousness just fades
Mind becomes so drowsy

Suddenly he sees a lady's face in this reverie
Oh, it seems so unreal
Can you hear, she's appealing
To you

So listen to the whisper of Queen of the Night
Her celebration's started and you are invited so

She is calling
She is calling
The moment is right, take your fate in your hand -
You need just the night and unbending intent.

Let's make the fireworks
Of the wood and sulphur
Sequence of flashbacks
Time when you didn't suffer

Feel the warmth again, the serenity of a child
Spread your wings and aspire
You are free while the match
Is on fire

Strike another match
Catch the new dream vision
Feel the freedom's touch
And then make a decision

Do you really want to return inhospitable home
To your hated stepparents
You're a sponger apparent
For them

So listen to the whisper of Queen of the Night
Her Majesty Requests, don't be impolite - listen

She’s calling
She’s calling
The moment is right, take your fate in your hand -
You need just the night and unbending intent.

Decide now!
What you're searching for in this place?
Everyone you loved and knew now’s gone yeah

Decide now!
Your attempts are weak and senseless
Oh, who cares if your work left undone yeah

Decide now!
Lonely bird rush to the ether

Night can not go on forever ah
Night can not go on forever ah

Have no fear!
You have nothing more to lose there
But your way becomes increasingly narrow

Shed no tears
It's always a little sad to leave your
home, even if this place is vale of sorrow

Don't worry
It can heal thy pain and fever but

Night can not go on forever ah
Night can not go on forever ah

Beware, I can no more guard you
Now freezing is getting harder
Just a step towards me and I'll take you away
