Cynthia's Child Lyrics


Chapter I:

Casting her shadow, her vanishing shape

Malicious beauty in the embrace of night

Thee, o thee, I adore, Cynthia...

With thy tail, sweeping me

Stiring rays on my skin

If thou profan'st me, to sin in secret lust

My dreams are thine

Thou ris'st in the vapour of beasts

The unfolden ones in me

Heaven shall blacken, thy throne is

Untouched, moonlight, sweet eclipse

"Your mortal desire, I'll share

Nights candles inansuspicious stars

Weak and motionless prepare you son

For the last rose on your grave..."

And so she hath come down to earth

To set her rest into life

With timeless flesh to profane

A black-hearted man she hath found

She spar'd her love in his arms

Brought forth a child to him

Bring as the moon itself

Chapter II:

"O what disgrace you hath brought to me

My honour, I forsworn to love again

The fruit of thy haunch shall no longer

Owe myself, in loneliness, it will rest on a

Never-finding place..."

Unsubstantial, fairylike, thy dear love sworn

Your feelings arose my soul 'till daylight came

Chapter III:

With tears augmenting, the cold demon's might

Devote on me! In my ecstasy of blood

From the sixth to the ningth hour

Thou shall wander in the shade of the eternal

Approach the shady curtains, out of the

Empty glance, time passes by, no more left to hold...

Silence weeps as golden storms

Frail in thy arms

The wolves' dawning flews

Approaching Cynthia's spell!
