Sweet darkness arise

Other half of my whole

Oh, Lord that reigns my tainted soul

The night bids for you, she cries




For you, she has dropped her veil

Light aloft on enchanted winds

The night she is no foe, but friend

She longs to hear your victim's wail




The night so innocent, she watches not with innocence eye

Every night she watches you reap blood's harvest

Of her, I make only one humble request

That she returns you safely to me




Sweet Master of my being

She keeps you away so long, you, I so miss

Eagerly I await your return, our lovers kiss

So that I may taste what she herself has seen
