Thou Blessed Be By Night

Silent thou wandered the forest that night
 Stalked through the shadows, not a sound or sight
 The fullmoon was calling, thou could not sleep
 Nor find peace in thy grave, thy keep 
 Flickering shadows embraced thee that night
 Embraced thee in darkness, caressed thee with might
 Thy hunger was pain, thy pain was lust
 Ashes to ashes, dust to dust

 "….My angel nocturnal
 Thou blessed be by night
 Shadows enthrones thee eternal
 With darkened glory and might…."

 Thy touch me enchanted
 My soul thee enseamed
 Everything that thee granted
 Forgotten sins thus gleamed

 Thy lust shrouded in darkness lies
 Covered with painful delight
 Hear my anguish, as prayer dies
 Lost as treasures, pearls of night
