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.

Oh, my dearest, the sweet music in the ear

Albeit, daresay I, the lullaby of an everso dark sleep

(My precious, likest thou what emergeth yon the distant?

The throbbing and breathing of life's machinery)

Wanion its oh so damndest soul

With the devil-instrument it we shall reap

After the banquet obscur'd in our thole

It's blood so lovingly across our faces smear

Lord of carnagel

(Lady of carnagel)

One funeral maketh many

(Swarm god's acres)

Two indeed more, blest treat of delighy

(Give praise for the blood it bled)

Grant a rose for the dead

(Grant a rose for the dead)

(Enraptur'd by the timeless beauty of the shadowsphere

We two abide the overlook'd time of the watch)

Make this cherish'd feast last

But until the new dawn ascendeth

(Be still, harken the lure of night

Bale in each its damndest shadow

Cloth me in night, ne'er fell rue

In its face, behold, naught save grue)

Pray, ne'er come hither daylight, misery it in velvetfright

(Wane to dust the wight, velvet darkness, thee we ourselves bestow)
