Flee, cursed Mortals
Dance, blessed Humans
Lie to yourselves
And
Lose your minds
In each others'
Eyes
For Love and Deceit
Have come back
With a Vengence
And Sleep and Death
Cling to each other
Tightly
Seeking for Victims
All are minons
of the Night,
Children of Great Nyx
of She who Holds Fast
to Her brother Erebus,
Her lover the Dark
They accompany
the Lovely Lady
in her Chariot of Black
Ready to work their Magic
They spread their
Destruction
Fearing rosy-fingered Dawn
Crying as the warmth
of the Golden Sun
descends upon them
Their siblings
Day and Light
Herald the ending,
the retrieval of
Their parents
Sending them Back...
...Back...
...Back
Into Tartaurus,
to await the next night
The children stay,
though weakened
for is Love
Deceit
Sleep
Death
Not part of Life?
They are Ever-Present
but strongest with
Their Mother
For She will
Protect them
Because
Is She not a Mother
Lady
Goddess
Protectress?
Yes, Flee
Yes, Dance
Run away from the Light
Dance into the Day
They
Will
Be
There
Among Her other Children
of which there is Many
Because she is a lustful Being
A mothering Creature
Who longs to hold Her young offspring
In Her arms
She will cradle you
too
For does She not shelter you
from the burning
Sun?
Does She not offer you
Relief from work?
Thank Her,
Mortals
Humans
Children of Stone
Because She is your
Mother
too
