Dark Mother

Infernal, terrestrial
 Celestial, ever-changing...
 The skies dyed red now
 Basking in crimson
 And solemn silence
 As midnight sighs
 Welkin turning
 The stars descending
 Such frail magic
 As blackness veils thy eyes
 A vessel of a deity
 Untouched beauty
 Thy sacred womb shall
 Carry the grandest prize
 Incarnation
 Resurrection
 Virginal conception
 Of the dark mother
 She governs the grim gates of death...
 In exultation
 I sense her coming
 Like distant thunder
 Thickening air
 On thy breasts now
 The obsidian serpent
 Herald of the nightside
 Reciting her names
 She was there when Babylon fell
 On Nineveh's final cry
 On Troy's dying knell
 And watching the Nazarene die...
 We who wait veiled in the dark
 Call out your name through the night
 The queen shall rise now
 The wait is over
 She'll be reborn again to rule
 This stranded earth
 The queen shall rise now
 The wait is over
 She'll be reborn again to lead
 Our mislaid hearts
 Moon of a thousand forms
 The terrible dark one
 Infernal, terrestrial, celestial
 Ever-changing mistress of the night
 And behold the mystery and the majesty
 Secret queen of a hundred fallen empires
 Born out of the shadow of the moon
 From beyond the birth of time
 The woods whispered a woeful tune
 Rustling leaves in autumn hues
 Her steps imprint the nightfrost hoar
 Forevermore
