Nocturne Eternal


Lay darkly, silently
Ponder not the jagged edge
Turn softly those thoughts against
The way that haunts

Untangle those long bleak nights
Nights of amaranthine naught
Be not sedate of vigilance
In thy pensive thoughts

Embrace the howling wind
It covers the cries
Seek not light to dash out the dark
For there do shadows drown

Fear not the creatures of the night
Become the eyes of the mouse
Divine the ears of the bat
Assume the valor of the owl

Embrace the night, caress the earth
Wake not in fear
But lay forever entwined
With sweet nocturne eternal

To see the Dark



Eyes like coal
Heart of stone
In the beginning
You think you're a god
That's what you can see
In the Dark

Till you learn
To fear not death
Mark the day
You walk the night
Stifle life and
Be the dark

Render the blood
Of the disbeliever
Teach to fear
The light,
To see
The dark

Hollow the heart
To be like a god
They who do not
Never shall dance
Till the rigor mortise 
Shall finally depart?
