no more is thy heaven halted
no more is thy singing salted
when i saw the moonlight shining
there was no pain behind my eyes
so many lies; now all fled
gone behind the light that led
moonlight; moon dream
keep me quiet here with thee
keep me quiet; let me be free.

how i long to sing to you
hear me now
hee hia hee hia
the rush of wind, the water on my eyes
the groaning trees
hia hia hee hee
can you teach me
can you lie
she was a devil
your light in her eyes
sing to me now, moon
coax me, orchid from the ground
let me breathe the night.

i kiss you deeply
god says you are a mirror of her
lovely, bright
then waning in the late night
kiss me
kiss me now
for the moon is setting
pale naked body dancing
new moon
i am free
cold virgin dancing
sing to me
sing to me.

beia hia hee hee
raised over
ravens and white
stateira
hee hia hee hia
sleep long through the night
moon
lover
dream in white.
