Oh Terrible Dream

From far away you came to me this night Black wings a-flyin' in a mirrored sky First-day love with seven-year eyes A serpent's kiss leaves a taste in my mouth's wish I keep the night Oh begone, oh terrible dream The night's end swung down, swung down upon my chest Taking my heart, my soul, my sins, and all the rest Like a passion's hunger, I have for thee It was the Dark, the Dark waiting for me I keep the night Oh begone, oh terrible dream Only nothing is untaken Only nothing is forsaken Only nothing is left of my memories of my love
