Lifeless life, sleepless sleepUnder the stony sky of day my flesh shall keepSummer's heat shall never be missedHecate's bliss has kissed these cool lipsIn perfect sleep there's beautyIn waking life just crueltyI want to rise with the nightIn the light that blinds your eyesWrapped in the velvet cloak of dreams my spirit fliesAs the day slips far from your sightMy stirring limbs shall join in the flightLife of lives, oh, sleep of sleepsIn all your dreams you'll never know the joys I reapHecate's hand shall guide through the nightAnd with the dawn, I'll kiss her goodbye
