Once upon a moonless night  Upon the dreams I feared  A shadow blew the eastern sky  The stars with evil leers  Perhaps the truth I must have sought  Was neither here or now  But falling into empty space  On verge of forever's brow    I turned my face upward high  To feel the black sunlight  Searing through my empty flesh  Neighbour to the night  I've prepared myself for dawning doom  And silence was sure to come  But in my haste my time has passed  I forgive, for I was young.    Turning pages of my life  Smeared and weather old  Mourning for the self I've lost  The soul that I have sold  Perhaps I would have better laughed  Than grieved of black instead  I last find my one true home  Among the hills of dead
