Powers of Darkness

When the light begins to pale See the dance of the thresher's flail We've sure had a lovely time Lately, lately It comes in waves, it comes inside Its ebb and flow is like a lunar tide Now the sky is falling Something from the void is calling Whispering a promise of strange delights Powers of darkness rise Let the night come alive Powers of darkness Raise your hands to the Mother of Sighs Persephone the flower queen For winter's thaw her coming's just the thing Well, she hasn't been on time Lately, lately The end is ever drawing nigh Without light life's not easy on the eyes Take your leave Find us where the shadows meet What awaits us on the other side? Powers of darkness End of times, endless night Powers of darkness rise Raise your hands to the Mother of Sighs You know that something's wrong When the curtain's drawn away Oh, will you wander on And in the darkness learn the secrets of the grave? Powers of darkness rise Let the night come alive Powers of darkness Raise your hands to the Mother of Sighs Powers of darkness End of times, endless night Powers of darkness rise Raise your hands to the Mother of Sighs
