Whe stand upon the dawn, The dawn of a brand new age Where ghosts they walk, their spirits raised They can now be master: now that your God is dead Weep not for forgiveness - ssh! - don't beg
Oh, come with me my love into stranger realms, Your eyes shine with wondrous fires from hell, No spirit may wrest us, asunder you and I Whilst other names fade, my love - ours remain

Rise again now! Share this pain now!
