Soft Darkness
Soft darkness, embrace me
I plead with thee
Save me from the light
That shines to blind my eyes
Take me with you
From whence you came
Carry me in your arms
As I a babe, and you, my mother
Hold me till I whisper
Your eternal name.
Cradle me until
My eyes finally close
Kiss me with your lips
In places no one knows
Give me refuge in the dark
And keep me from this place
Save me from the hateful spark
And calm me with your embrace.
Soft darkness, make love to me
Then quell me with thy cold touch
Soothe my demons, and soften my misery
Teach my heart the meaning of love.
Be with me forever, forever and eternity
Take me to where the darkness is for all time
Bear me on your silent wings
For I, soft darkness, do tire of this life
And yearn to sleep beneath thy haunting strings.
Touch me within
So my mind may finally rest
Let me hear your music
And sing to me songs of death
For I, soft darkness, do tire of this life
And yearn to sleep within you
As a babe to its mother's breast
I desire your black comfort
The only love I've ever known.
Keep me with you
Even after my eyes have shut
Be my guardian angel
And be my eternal love.
Soft darkness, kiss me
Kiss me until the sun goes down
Kiss me until the cruel moon arises
With the stars for her evil crown
Kiss me as the darkness strokes my heart
And takes away my life
Love me, soft darkness
Love me forever
Love me forever.
My sorrowful angel....
