Darkness (L'Immoraliste)

Darkness, you are my priestess
Darkness, you are my pride
My night in shining armour
Disarmer of every tide
That swept the beaches clean of starfish
A death-wish to my kind
Helpless, heedless, selfish, needless to say
It’s no surprise
You’re with me most every night
You’re with me most every night
Darkness, you are my true love
Darkness, you are my bride
My consummated passion
No fashionable disguise
A sleeping kiss and my demon twin lays dreaming
By my side
Screaming, grinning
Beating pinioned wings against the skies
I sail with you, most every night
I know the truth
The secrets of a soul, I know, I know
But no-one listens
No, no-one hears
I’ve seen the light
The poets bright and distant mirror
They are searching there
I have seen them there
For I have travelled there
And they are searching there
For a home
