When the wind blows through the trees When daylight is too far gone And nightime falls on thes desolate lands
When a thin fog drifts over houses and farms When darkness rules the village streets And dogs are howling with fear
When all the doors and windows are locked When in the distance strange lights Illuminate ghostly figures And devilish shadows are flying high Piercing with anguish the hearts of men In this terrible night
A sinister echo resounds in the air:
Walpurgisnacht! Walpurgisnacht! Walpurgisnacht!
S. Valpurga - Save us from evil! S. Valpurga - Pray for our soul!
