As Black as a Midnight Heart

Wings of angels, shaded the sky And stained the sunset with ebony stars Sorrow met madness, and daggers consumed Ashes of beauty, forlorn and defiled Behowling the purity of death The vicious temptress divine "...Forever have I searched for thee, my nocturnal bride Through centuries I have waited, but now thou art mine I know that nothing is forever, and that dawn will do us apart I shed no tears or sorrow, I have kept thy midnight heart..." Passion and paleness, oaths of past Pleasures of urging pain and fear Shrouded darkness, the wicked enthrones The priestess of timeless lust arose Laid to rest, but slumbers not Deceived by her fearless dreams I buried thee My mistress nocturne I drank thy bitter wine, And tasted thy world bizarre Thee brought me madness, That I am sure But sands of time came closer, Farewell my bride, farewell... "...Forever have I searched for thee, my nocturnal bride Through centuries I have waited, but now thou art mine I know that nothing is forever, and that dawn will do us apart I shed no tears or sorrow, I have kept thy midnight heart..." Pale as moonlight are the lilies on thy grave, Never fading, just like thee... Thou art with me, we share the same dream, Thy blackened treasure, now belongs to me... "...Forever have I searched for thee, my nocturnal bride Through centuries I have waited, but now thou art mine (Even though) I know that nothing is forever, and that dawn will do us apart I shed no tears or sorrow, I have kept thy midnight heart..." --- As Black as a Midnight Heart - Siebenbürgen
