Son of Darkness

Son of Night

Why must you hide from me?

I languish for your cold embrace

As I stand before the doors of death

You are the end

You are fear

So take me to a new beginning

Beyond the doors of death

I call for you

I beg for you

And yet you stay away

Take the keys

And lock the doors of death

Are you frightened?

Are you scared?

God of the dead

Stranger to my yearning

to unlock the doors of death.

Do you fear it?

Do you fear me?

Is this why I must stay away

And leave you by your lonesome

At the doors of death?

It burns.

Like a white-hot flame

From dying embers

Does new passion a-light

And destroy me from within.

What a beauty it is

To look at.

But if I should touch it

It would only hurt.

But I wish to dance in the flames

And feel the warmth envelope me

As we spin together

Faster, faster

Until we are both ash

So tantalizing

So elegant

So beautiful

So close . . .

And yet so far.

Come closer to me.

Please.

I beg of you.

Come closer

And let me dance

In your glory.

Oh, my muse,

the one who inspires

and sets my passion to fires.

Oh, I’d sing the blues

on the finest crafted lyres

of all my desires.

Oh, with beauty perfuse

you are the heavenly choir,

the Lord atop the spire.
