The grey dim light of the early dawn dances
Around the chamber
The liquid surfaces on the floor reflecting the sun
In mirror I gaze, awaiting the familiar visage
The unknown malice, and anger looks back at me
Last night I have dreamt of the tower again
I have stood on its top, and watch the clouds
Rolling up the hills
The tidal wave of darkness swallowing the city below
The air smelt of decay and tears
I heard her voice again, singing to me in my dream
The queen of the night, my sweetest lady of the eclipse
Her heralds are ever present at the base of the tower
Can you hear the teeth gnashing ? The gurgling
Sound of gluttony ?
Each night I wake later and later
The sheets covered in sweat
And her song rings in my hears into the high noon
How I long to feel her cold embrace
Again, during those hours
But only the empty glares of people are my companions.
This day the omens were clear, I could not
Sleep the night before
My fever is rising and it is still dark outside, is it noon yet ?
Through the window I see faces of people, empty inside
The seal of the lady apparent on their foreheads
As a pool of darkness.
I have seen a man tearing out holes from his own flesh
The seal alight with a black glare
There is a woman eating her child, her eyes open wide
Her seal burning with a black light
A child is choking her sister, bloodied
Fingers ripping her throat
Lady's mark on her forehead ablaze
All will fall, there will be difference between
A man and a beast.
I cannot sleep now, I hear her voice in every cry of pain
The cacophony of screams outside is deafening
I look into the mirror again, am I still myself ?
The seal is shining on my head, the cold liquid
Seeps into my mouth.
Hours pass, what is true and what is false ?
Oblivion is all we have.
The sun has risen again, black !
At this moment the world died.
Empty, soulless husks dance all around me
Her song is in the air, a rapture of decay everywhere
I clearly see her face, now, through bleeding eyes
The beauty immortal, the face of god,
Our lady of oblivion has come to me !
