Mine is pure darkness 

It is as blackness is 

Damn the light which comes from 

You as a moth to flame i burn 



In the twilight of morning i rest my weary eyes 

For the benefits of the nights bounty were many 

My soul has been redeemed (with those of others) 



I missed my love tonight 

Hiding behind the figure i cannot bare to face 

That of a dead profit 

And his beast of burden 

Thorns ripping through his brow 



Skin soft and white, eyes fire and ice 

Just as i recall 

Not longer than nine score 

Certainly food for the gods 

And fit for a prince 

Her throat i'll have it now 



I will have her, she is mine 

Rise of the sun, my test of time 

And when shadows fall on unholy ground 

It's time to sleep again 



As consciousness slips into blackness 

I rise to nights warm embrace 

And though my blood runs cold 

I know my love will be alone 

And my mortal heart shall beat again 

Like it did ten thousand years ago 



Forbidden love can only taste this sweet 

Not like the others so incomplete 

The symbolic arrow that pierces my heart 

Takes the shape of a wooden stare 

Now i am the one crucified 

For her immortal heart i'd give my own 

And die for mankind's sins 

But that is not the nature of this beast 

I am denied 



I will have her, she is mine 

Rise of the sun, my test of time 

When shadows fall on unholy ground 

I will make her mine
