[Female – slow, nocturnal, melodic]

Every minute, every passing hour, My life, my fate, and all their power; Each single beat my heart is giving— Is only yours, for all my living.

[Female – deep, distant]

...Nox vigilans...

[Male + Female (soft, tense)]

Fate brought us fast, without a warning, Woven us together until the morning; A dear secret blossomed, pure and deep— I am yours, my vows I keep.

[CHORUS – female soaring, doom rhythm]

Night sighs, breaks the silence, calls us back, Longing flows to me along its track. Words both tender, words that sting and shatter, Deepest truths that truly, deeply matter— I converse with shadows on the track.

[Female – tense]

...Quis nostrum...

[VERSE II – male + female rising, darker melody]

Though mistakes and sorrows may appear, Though I mourn sometimes and shed a tear— All my wishes, laughter, and my pain, For you alone, again and again.


[BRIDGE – male + female, haunting, echoing]

[Female (floating):] What inside me trembles on its strings? What do songs and flowers bring to me?

[Female:] What disturbs my soul with precious dreams? Only you, my dear, it truly seems.

[FINAL CHORUS – wide, cinematic]

Night enfolds us in its hazy curtain, Shadows of the love and the strife certain. Clock strikes, and the moon quietly sees— Storms are raging still inside our hearts, Though no one can sleep tonight, tonight.

[(fade):]

...Et semper... umbra vigilant...
