O my love of blackest night  
From dreams I wake with your bitter kiss  
In comparison I'm just a blight  
Your words, tho dark, fill me with peaceful bliss

My heart yearns for your tender touch, my love  
The sun is falling, owls and wolves gather  
They sing for us! voices rising above!  
A wondrous night to be together!

Bats dance like butterflies in the star sea  
Shadows grow as the light recedes swiftly  
The thick crimson blood shall become your tea  
Behind me you crept, walking silently

I lend my neck to you on this very eve  
Love after death is what I believe
