The night wind moans uneasy
As dying embers leap,
Somnolence enveloping
The chambers of the keep;
My soul in transit restless,
Sleep eludes me now -
A silent voice seducing me,
Cold breath upon my brow;
Danger creeps around me
On velvet paws of lust,
Longing to possess my soul,
Transform my flesh to dust;
Icey fingers stroke my flesh,
Ignite my wanton skin -
Frozen lips upon my neck
Now brand me from within;
Drink deep, sweet prince of darkness,
Alleviate my fear -
Satiate your hunger
My salvation drawing near;
Sup my mortal essence,
Justify the toll -
Ferry me on velvet wings
To the dark side of your soul;
Grant me immortality,
Extinguish now my light -
Shelter me in darkness..................
Commend me to your night.
HAPPY HALLOWEEN! ! ! ! ! !
