Fisternis

There was a woman in my dreams dancing away the end of time,
Finally, finding something real.
Where did that woman come from?
Where did she go?
I can't get her out of my mind.

Her music broke my heart, it was my voice
Her eyes were centuries away from salvation
Shaking the dead, waking the dead
Walking through the night, dousing every light 
She hated this life.

The universe passed through a darkness again and again
Her eyes showed me the way
She was the night, walking with lantern in her silken hands
She was death
