ANOTHER SUN SETS ON BALEFUL LANDS

TRANSMUTING INTO A CRIMSON ORB OF TRANSIENT WONDER

THE LAST OF IT'S WANING RAYS DIE

AS THE LADY OF THE NIGHT'S SONG STARTS ANEW

MY LADY OF DARKNESS

SHED THY EARTHLY GUISE,

SO THAT THE MEEK MIGHT SEE DESTRUCTION

AS BLACK TEARS RAIN FROM THE SKY

YOUR IMAGE IS SPLENDOR

GAIETY AMIDST DEATH

CLOSE NOW THY EBONY WINGS

AND STEAL THE WORLD'S DYING BREATH

RESPLENDENT IN SILVER, THE FIRST STRAINS OF HER EPIC OF WOE

ENTHRALL THE NOCTURNAL BEINGS DRAWN TO HER SIGHT

A DOLEFUL OPUS TO THE WONDERS OF NIGHT

ENVELOPED IN A SHROUD OF PAIN

HER SONG HAS REACHED CRESCENDO

AND HER DESCENT IS NEARLY COMPLETE

SHADOWS OF MAGIC ASCEND FROM DUSK

REVEALING THE MOON FOR ALL TO SEE

MY LADY OF DARKNESS

SHED THY EARTHLY GUISE,

SO THAT THE MEEK MIGHT SEE DESTRUCTION

AS BLACK TEARS RAIN FROM THE SKY

YOUR IMAGE IS SPLENDOR

GAIETY AMIDST DEATH

CLOSE NOW THY EBONY WINGS

AND STEAL THE WORLD'S DYING BREATH
