Albeit behind the eyes thou hast
A flame enshroudéd in its blackness
Burning without the faintest breeze
Teach me, dearest, the reason wherefore
Thou by such angst mark'd art?

My eyes hold the eventide
Thro' which I 'hold naught else
But the raven
Sleep my dearest ones
Mind not the palling velvet darkness

Wherefore is here loneliness?
Infinite hollowness
In which my thoughts echo
To the shadows I whisper
With the shadows I waltz
Bear me, I am not the plague
Altho' nightclad death
Mayhap?

Dance no longer with the shadows
Dance no longer with the dead in the graveyard
Dance with me the Mephisto waltz
Wedlock 'twixt day and night
Offer me relief fro the sunrays

Dare not naysaying my grant
Vanish with me abaft the unlight
O! The taste on thine lips
A trickling deep red love
Everlasting lightheartédness
A kiss for thee my dear

Ah! Such delight I sense
Savour the bitter grapes of life!

Eternally and ne'erendingly
A soulsister of thine i am

Let me openly greet thy kiss
The most loving and caring bites

Grant me thineself
I bore the woe in my heart
My heart was shatter'd into its tithe
Save yet are its chambers in flood

As I depart embrace me
And in paltry time will I re-awake
I love thee
