Canticle of the Night 가사

Like the voyeur enraptured by erotic vociferation Night abducts dusk in her chill proclamation Caterwaul restless wolves from their dank forest mansions The Canticle of the Night Robed in the darkening hymns of dusk Born a craven thirst for feminine lust I stalk my game, down cobbled lane, to blood's beacon of hedonistic flame Transfixed amongst revellers and wine A place of such pleasure there can be no crime Intimate suffering, to thrill my craving, but once contrived it is so becoming Evensong resounding in a thoughtless race To seduce my love twixt a fever's embrace The fragrant attar of the vulpine Eve Such heat her pallid portrait bequeaths Pure of salt and sweet of death I, the darkness at her breast To thee I pledge my love Excise the flesh and suck the blood With whimpers of licentious despair You arouse my strength and I leave you bare Bittersweet tears I lap from staring eyes Hiss at the dawn and heed the watchman's cries Savour the corpse with a parting kiss Swiftly retire unto my cryptic abyss Cradled within earth's grave embrace I await the moon's forthcoming face And the restless wolves to eerily recite The Canticle of the Unhallowed Night
