If the darkness again descended on all
And a few tortured dreams cried feebly their want
Would glory be left, to your lives, in the Fall
In the sad dimming light of a setting sun?

And far in the distance a ship's fog horn soars
then faced with the terrors of night does descend
And as loneliness creeps from behind closed doors
primordial pleasures our solitude rend

All barriers raised against dark glooms of thought
"Let the world wreck havoc with those left outside"
Some souls would be sold tonight and some bought
while the pale lights of Nox's dark eyes abide.

It's been long since I fed on a trembling soul
"You've no right to condemn me - Satiated we rest"
As the Puppeteer's will orchestrates our role,
so the Spider must call more guests to its fest.

And alone as I close my shutters to Night
an ecstatic shudder sings hymns in my blood
I will suffer once more the pain of my bite
Another soul lost to the province of God.

My back to the night I face you as before
In the kingdom of Loving Want reigns supreme
This night! In this place! It is You I adore,
Yes! Tonight burns for You the expectant gleem.

In my arms you will soar
It's my dreams you embrace
And in working their need
I will balad your lust
You shall come to my birthing!
and watch as I die...
In what arms are we born
To be murdered by trust?

As the storm swallos whole those left in the street
And your final murmur is choked in my calm
Just outside beats the anxious patter of feet
to the fading, last note, of your dying sun.
