Black is the night

starless and cold

shapeless dispair

un-numbered names

unfigured distance

Black is my heart

hopeless and cold

downward the stair

below the great walls

deeper, further

Ruins of majesty

shattered dreams

insane the gaze

of silent lover

If I could only stop this rain

If I could only quiet the wind

I'd be the master

of thunder up high

Set on a throne

made of clouds and stars

Still gods and empires

Are forgotten and fallen

And I'm set on a throne

Made of rain and black void

Black is the night

starless and cold

shapeless dispair

un-numbered names

unfigured distance

Black is my heart

hopeless and cold

downward the stair

below the great walls

Forever longing

for glory and delight

Forever yearning

your lips and your eyes
