Night On The World

Book IX – Attack on the Trojan Camp

During Aeneas' absence, Juno sent Iris to Turnus to tell him that the moment for attack had come
So accepting the divine call to arms, he and his troops marched on the Trojan camp, alongside the river
The Trojans, according to the instructions of Aeneas, didn't respond to
Turnus' challenge, remaining behind their walls
In the meanwhile, Nisus and Euryalus, close friends, decided to pass through the enemy lines in order to reach and warn Aeneas
In the silence of the night
They fell upon the sleeping enemies, killing many of them, but when their journey started, Euryalus was discovered and caught
Nisus, who had managed to escape, returned but he could not save his friend and, after heroically avenged him, met his death
The Trojans saw the heads of these brave warriors impaled on enemy spears… the battle started again…

***Night on the World***

1. Look up the horizon
The heavens blacken
The screams tear the silence
Watching above – the moon
No light here in this lonely land.

I'm in the dusk
Watching the world fall
Still in the darkness.

[Chorus:]
Burning down
The gods are crying for our fate
Burning down – night falls down
Here on the world.

2. The armies clash tonight
The bloody swords twirl without rest
Fragments in black and white
Silver tears rain down from the skies.

I'm in the dusk
Watching the world fall
Still in the darkness.

[Chorus]
