Why cannot a dream enter my mind

And lock the world's secrets behind these leaden eyelids

Even if it is only for one night

 

Alas! The torturing moon lightens your gallant appearance

And with a murderous smile

My angel of darkness, you become

 

Is it this silent death,

Slowly covering the graveyard of sadness we all mourn in

A visiting place for the restless ones where a single wooden cage thousand wounds hides

 

Is it the macabre wind

That is holding your spirit unbound though forever a haunt to me

And tonight

 

But I do not wish you away

For I have wished you endlessly, infinitely it seems!

 

Speak forever and the words will place these little shreds of life

In the river of sadness and drown the petty

 

Deadly kisses through a tangled black web of your hair

Even when small, persistant knives of light pierce through this room

And betray us, killing us back to our covens of solitude

 

Shall this voice summon you again

Next night's blessing

Will it be the moment when the whisper comes back

And your laughter sings me to my rest

...

Tomorrow then, and no more dawns will exist
