Rule of Nyx

Ador Dorath's song 'Rule of Nyx' is a poetic and evocative tribute to the night, personified as a beautiful and powerful entity. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of the night as a majestic figure that cloaks the countryside in shadows, leaving only a few stars—described as 'sparkling tears'—in the sky. This imagery sets a mystical and almost melancholic tone, suggesting a deep reverence for the night and its silent, yet profound, presence.

The night is further depicted as a realm where ancient desires and wishes reside, waiting for their time to come. The 'silver streams' running to the 'empire of wishes and ancient lusts' evoke a sense of timelessness and mystery. This empire is crowned with the voices of countless wishes, indicating that the night is a keeper of dreams and unfulfilled desires. The refrain of a bat's scream adds an eerie, gothic element to the song, enhancing its dark and enchanting atmosphere.

In the final stanza, the night is described as charming for thousands of years, a timeless beauty that has captivated humanity throughout history. The narrator closes their eyes, allowing the 'twilight of feelings' to transport them to a time when divine passions were intertwined with human experience. This suggests a longing for a return to a more primal, passionate state of being, where the boundaries between the divine and the mortal were blurred. 'Rule of Nyx' thus becomes a meditation on the night as a symbol of both mystery and desire, a powerful force that has inspired awe and longing for millennia.
