My Mother In Darkness

Skyclad

Dance with the lilies in the shadows of the valley -

my lily of the valley of the shadow of death.



Her velvet shadow in the rain, disturb the stillness of the hour.

Each crimson kiss a tender pain, like plucking petals from a flower.



She took me pure as driven snow - held my hand and then let go.



Matriarch of lust nocturnal - fill her vessel with your fire.

Child endowed with life eternal - taste the well of her desire.



She is my mother in darkness.



A pierced lip - a warm embrace, ice blue eyes that chill my heart,

Valkyrie kisses burn my face - this "red thirst" tears my world apart.



What is a poor boy meant to do? I close my eyes and wish I knew.



She rip the throats from singing angels,

White wings stained red with ruby tears.



Bare limbs entwined within a casket wrapped in bloody afterglow.

So many questions we could ask - but do we really need to know?



Now she is my mother in darkness.



Her velvet shadow in the rain...

Dance with the lilies in the shadows of the valley -

my lily of the valley of the shadow of death.



She is my mother in darkness.
