A wailing phaerytale of benighted pain from profound abyssic dreams And from a dark, mysterious, equivocative morrow... I now take heed I drown in the verses these pages encompass - enthralled to quicken time But Envy she stirs 'midst sweet slumbering purrs; poised unto lesser rhymes A decaying memory slowly fades As I realise what game thou doth play Through the candlelight this scripture's blight summons a mortal in spite My enchantress falls foul unto a deeper drowse Wherein wakening garners a serpent's bit Choking the liars in thickets of briers Aflame, smouldering upon the stake Conducting the fear I have wrought in the victim's pride I reminisce a romance not lived long As I gaze at him in her eyes as she dies I am the one not overcome by sorrow or fear Bawl unto me now my Lord? my saviour and my soul Encapsulate me in thy darkest reprieve Soften the Earth when I fall down from thee When we retire the darkness expires Baneful white light shone from three burning pyres We gaze at the stars, so vast from afar Under which love-spells were cast and are charred So surely not I shall worship thee tonight? And thirst for raptured ensnared passions of thine Drinking the wine, dark magicks entwine "Thou who dares to awaken me What is thy bidding What draws me from sleep?" It is I, your majesty Humble requests I bequeath unto thee Grant me a sanctified dream A gift from thee to me I shalt ever seethe See their warming raptures which they forsake Aflame, smouldering upon the stake The dream-weaver's twisted morbid end which I have designed I reminisce a romance not lived long As I gaze at him in her eyes as she dies I am the one not overcome by sorrow or fear Bawl unto me now my Lord? my saviour and my soul Encapsulate me in thy darkest reprieve Soften the Earth when I fall down from thee When we retire the darkness expires Baneful white light shone from three burning pyres We gaze at the stars, so vast from afar Under which love-spells were consecrated and cast Drinking our swill of the wine Dark, mysterious poisonous nectar maligned Dark magicks entwine
