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
