As midnights constellations Gather from unnatural brilliance Collecting the pieces In which all burn Within death's darkly curtained halls I've learned to know the desert ways Whose wrath and hate i've sworn to tell But sure with patience can bear Alas, lessening from dazzled sight Arose, midst the twilight pathways As midnights constellations Gather from unnatural brilliance Where are they now Lost, long gone by Disguised as beings of light Bear the grandeur with a disdainful smile As the fire now is grown cold Thought and form crumbling to dust Seals up all in the rest Yet what shadows they cast As we tore ourselves asunder We tore ourselves asunder Ruined, emptied of virtue Shattered and set free Released from the pale To ponder the darkness As midnights constellations Gather from unnatural brilliance Where are they now Lost, long gone by Yet what shadows they cast As we tore ourselves asunder In the dead embers All burn!
