Lyrics Gates of Ishtar

Gates of Ishtar

When Daylight's Gone

When daylight's gone, the beauty's still left

Preserved for eternity, by the love of the night

A sunset of embre, a rose in the sky

Kiss of the sungod, farewell to the world

The skies are ablaze, with the loss of the day

And will be again, til' the morning has come

Bring on the night, its beauty in black

Enchanted mistress, I'm held onto its grip

Days of darkness, soon to arrive

Blessed to the beauty of the sunkissed land

When daylight's gone...

Daybreak is here, setting fire to the world

Caressing the soil, giving life with its touch

Those of the daylight, awaken again

Singing their praises, to the safety of light
