PROPHECY
I late was running on those rocks
Where pathways twist and demons stalk
And lovers run their course by night
Black was the way, I could not gauge
The stars, nor could I sever rage
And when the wind blew wild I heard his summons in Ahriman's song
Set seven demons loose to dance
Set seven bitter winds to blow
For though I wished to break the trance
Through flesh and flesh I can't let go
Set thunder's anarchy to crash
All living shrink away from me...
For when the pale moon is on the rise
And daylight vanquished from tumultuous skies
Call forth from black Infinity
A changeling fury in disguise
To own my nights and burn my eyes
To bind me for eternity
With brimstone for indemnity
And love and love and love is gone...
