lyrics

As the wind returns to the sea,
As the clouds return to the sky,
As the stars return to the dark,
May your breath return to death.

As the fire returns to to ashes,
As the ice returns to water,
As the moon returns to the sun,
May your breath return to death.

At the light of the shortest candle
I will lull your deepest sleep.
A gentle breeze delight your sleep,
I know you, young viper at my door.
I let you in, gave you my bed,
I'll knot a poison ribbon at your throath,
Palms up towards the sky.
I looked for you, I whistled for your evil soul.
Called back, called back by your evil scream.
And here you are.

Beyond this dark horizon I'm the demon that loves you,
White snakes, black snakes,
Pestilence in the day you're born.
Might my hate be your brother.
Might my pain be your sister.
I'll walk you down where the sun is just a hole,
A marble as a bed…
Beyond this dark horizon I'll be the mountain chains
Over the chest to bury your soul,
In the necrosy banquet where your spirit Forever will stay.
