The Encounter
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
The scene was set past myriad of centuries
Pale eclipsed moonlight evoken terrors
Illumination dividing shadows from the heavenly lights
It breeds the name of this lustrous sight
First arrived the beauty of night
An eager temptress whoring for souls
Alas
This encounter
Whenever wicked lusts conquered love
They were hers
Now noticed her the prince of light
And opened his golden lips
To speak the words of a bidding welcome
(But hark) the child of darkness
Was too beautiful for the prince to watch
And instead of light
Sung the voice of darkness
Who art thou
Thou I have never seen
Thy brightness burns my eyes
Alas
This encounter
Whenever wicked lusts conquered love
They were hers
One vanity less
Your lunacy rose to climax
Ruby tiara on her tress stood ablaze
Like the blood in the moonlight
He wished to question
But still no words fell forth
Twilight, ubiquitous, Andromeda…
Reveal who thou really art
Who art thou
Thou I have never seen
Thy brightness burns my eyes
Hearst thou not me
Thou shalt answer when I speak to thee
One vanity less
Your lunacy rose to climax
Who art thou
Thou I have never seen
Thy brightness burns my eyes
Alas
This encounter
Whenever wicked lusts conquered love
They were hers
Reveal
Unconceal
Who thou really art
