In the cold of the dark night
misty shadows roll into sight
the cries of the lost souls
they haunt my mind
mother night take me into your embrace
why do you hold me to this place
dream of color
etch themselves into my soul
invisible tears fall from my face
on the surface things seem so cold
bring me earths warm bed
the taste of the nightshade I long to hold
father moon who are all the voices in the wind
they glitter in your rays
why do you taunt me so
nowhere to hide, nowhere to go
eyes now grown close
cobwebs now link my heart and soul
the weaved tangles froze
the strength of the beat starts to slow
mother night take me into your embrace
take my memories and pain
I beg of you
erase my marks of time and space
let me become just another dream that didn't come true
mother night take me into your embrace
