[Verse 1 – The Midnight Ride] I rise from my coffin mo chiste dhubh, (my black coffin) Moonlight calls, I cannot rest. The wind obeys my silken will, The dragon roars, the world stands still. Tha mi beò! I cry through the haze, (I am alive!) The stars all blink at my dramatic phase. He beats his wings I clutch in fright, Pretending it’s all going as planned tonight. [Chorus – High on the Moonlight] Oh higher and higher, we soar through the air, I’m Dracula, darling debonair despair. Le solas na gealaich, I reign in delight, (By the light of the moon) Riding my black dragon through eternal night. [Verse 2 – The Dragon’s Rebellion] He grumbles low, “You talk too much.” I hiss, “I’m ancient I have such touch!” He rolls his eyes, the flames ignite, Purple fire paints the edge of night. Through clouds of mist and shadow’s flame, I whisper charms that sound the same. Tro cheò is sgàilean, I proudly claim (Through mist and shadow) But even my dragon laughs at my name. [Bridge – Dannsa nan Sgàilean / The Dance of Shadows] Tro’n oidhche, sinn ag itealaich, (Through the night, we fly) Fo ghealach, tro dhorchadas àrd. (Beneath the moon, through the high darkness) Togaidh mi an dràgon seo, I sing, (I raise this dragon) Pretending I know what I’m doing. The stars are laughing, the moonlight sighs, My cape’s caught fire to my surprise! Still I smirk with vampire grace, It’s all part of my dark embrace. [Final Chorus – The Never-Ending Ride] Oh higher and higher, through laughter and flame, The night remembers my glorious name. Mar sin bidh sinn ag itealaich, (Thus we fly) My dragon and I we ride! Through endless night, we kiss the sky, A’ pògadh na speuran, we ride, we fly. (Kissing the skies) If this is eternity absurd, divine, Then let the moonlight’s madness be mine.
