I saw the night undressed, naked and beautiful
As the rain slowly wet my face
I felt the wind of lost ages blow
And I will ride this forlorn wind
Through the skies eternally black
With shadow wings through the night
For sunlight burns my flesh to ash
Take me twilight, enchant me
Take my soul and unveil thee
This my love and only bride
The dying eve, the naked night
I'm one with this for all time now
And with my kiss so are you
A moonlight throne is yours tonight
Forsaken now for eternity
I could take this world and crush it in my hands
I could slit the throats of all your fuckin' gods
As a shadow of eternity far beyond mortality
I have drained the ancients blood
And drank your warm red wine
For so long so very long
I am the reaper of your dreams
I have seen old gods die
I've heard their grim lament
And sunlight never touched my eyes
To twilight I am damned
And this night of the nephilim
I'm damned and I'm beyond sin
I'm at one with ages lost
On twilight enthroned

("On Twilight Enthroned")
