Darkness, you are my priestess
Darkness, you are my pride
My night in shining armour,
Disarmer of every tide
That swept the beaches clean of starfish
A death-wish to my kind
Helpless, heedless, selfish, needless to say
It`s no surprise
You`re with me most every night
You`re with me most every night
Darkness, you are my true love
Darkness, you are my bride
My consummated passion,
No fashionable disguise
A sleeping kiss and my demon twin lays dreaming
By my side
Screaming, grinning,
Beating pinioned wings against the skies
I sail with you, most every night
I know the truth,
The secrets of a soul, I know, I know,
But no-one listens,
No, no-one hears
I`ve seen the light,
The poets bright and distant mirror,
They are searching there
I have seen them there,
For I have travelled there
And they are searching there
For a home.
