lyrics

The dusk sun sets in the blackening sky
Sinks into the earth Extinguishing the light
The moon round and full now reigns
Bathes my being in hallowed shades
In reverence I praise the lunar sphere
Sets my soul free, I feel her so near
Far below, humanity lies inert
While I roam the night, ever alert
Discarding mortality, I follow the queen of night
Exhilarating darkness fills my sight
Celestial beauty
In her shadow all is real
Then do we her nocturnal splendour feel
Oh nocturnal splendour
I revel in her chill embrace
Oh nocturnal splendour
My soul a gift for thee to grace
And now she falls
Downward arc in stead
This greying eve, she’ll soon lie dead
On final breath she dissipates
Intruding light has sealed her fate
I can’t bear witness to her demise
Return to the flesh, where my crust lies
Solar globe exhumed at dawn
Once more at dusk the moon is born.
