Track Insight / Lyrics
By the Seine, where the willows sway
He keeps vigil, through the moonlit day
His blade's pure, a beacon of the night
When Paris sleeps, and all's made right
A melancholy, so tender and kind
Longing for home, leaving love behind
With each pass, he longs to depart
From the City of Love, and her tender heart
Midnight, midnight, his watchful eye
A silver sentinel, 'neath the midnight sky
Guarding long, till the first light of dawn
The witcher's duty, his heart's burden borne
The streets awake, to life's latenight pulse
And once more, Paris' sirens thrum and hush
He watches over, this sleeping town
Where passion and poetry turn love around
A melancholy, so tender and kind
Longing for home, leaving love behind
With each pass, he longs to depart
From the City of Love, and her tender heart
Midnight, midnight, his watchful eye
A silver sentinel, 'neath the midnight sky
Guarding long, till the first light of dawn
The witcher's duty, his heart's burden borne
Perhaps someday, he'll lay his blade down
In a foreign land, where his heart is found
But till then, his watch never ends
A soldier's bond, to his beloved friends
Midnight, midnight, his watchful eye
A silver sentinel, 'neath the midnight sky
Guarding long, till the first light of dawn
The witcher's duty, his heart's burden borne
By the Seine's edge, where the willows sway
He'll keep his vigil, come what may
The witcher's heart beats, a midnight refrain
Melancholy tenderness, a love in vain.
