In her name you sacrifice
Embrace my art
Love let me go
In her name, cruel goddess touch
Embrace my song, thy wind, thy womb

Virginal steps to be born
Embrace this flesh I need to know
Under dark moon wolf-skin throne
Flowered thy nymphs
Let flow thy womb

I don't need anyone
I don't love anyone

Away washed in velvet tide
I tremble as I kiss your shores
I lay upon endless sands
Worship a voice beyond my own

On the plains of Nysa I die;
When I arise, I mourn alone
Your love fails me far from home
Embrace my art,
Love let me go

I don't need anyone
I don't love anyone

Artemis, please be kind to me
My own wolves savage' devour me
Artemis, please be kind to me
My own wolves cruel' devour me

Unchain me...

Upon the lake, upon the windless water
Swim down to me, beautiful bird
Mercy, stay not forever out of reach
I hear, I hear your evening song

Watered in blood in which I sink and drown
In flesh and by shackled flora bound
Feed the ache of this exile's alien song
I hear, I hear your evening song

Spirit bird, unbind my withered limbs
And cut me from this torment
Unchain me
Mercy, don't abandon me

Arrayed in pearl, blushing illuminate
Deep wounds, vast seas that rack and crush
Moonlight upon my throat
Tempest black

I suffer your endless song
Here I choke

Replume, refire, ravage my unholy ghost
My heavenly mate, flaming bright
Bloat and cry out, flame in the infinite
For all the world spirit furnace

Dona eis, Domine:
Et lux perpetua luceat eis
Et lux perpetua luceat eis

Te decet hymnus, Deus, in Sion
Et tibi reddetur votum in Jerusalem:
Et lux perpetua luceat eis
Et lux perpetua luceat eis

The sun grows cold in the western sky
And earlier and earlier
The sun submits to the moon's rise
And after a summer of sorrow
I embrace myself for a moment of despair

Every day, death's hand grips me so much tighter
And my mistakes are frozen in my mind

Even though I've often questioned why he has placed me here
I never had the motivation to challenge him
I once had a name but you have forgotten it
I still have a face, one you could never forget
Pale white and cold with sedation in my eyes
Where there was once life

I seem to be more machine than man
Now a shadow of what I used to be
With murder in my eyes and malice in my heart
I drop the final curtain on the bloodiest of tragedies
I quiver and shake with my remorse
As I head back into the storm from which I was born

Now I know what it means to be alone
Oh, I know what it means to be so cold
A lonely assassin with no place to go
A lonely assassin with no place to call home
A lonely assassin with no place to call his own
