Green Night

Don't be afraid I'm not a man I wear this skin Because I can What do you see What beast am I Unknown is known In this green night Burning stars My season's door Which sky were you looking for First I'll change All in your bed A canticle I sing in dread I sing in dread In silken sheets Change to a bear In sodden ecstasy Change to a wolf Hold me pinned The danger lies Here within The sign is made The mark will stay What beast are you To howl away To howl away Now claw it out The lump of coal Spill the knowledge That you stole Chained to cloud Knife of moon The honeybee's Certain doom Honey thick A drop a drop But could you drink And never stop And does it burn My love do I Burn at the throat Burn at the thigh
