Midnight



In silent sanctuary you come to me,

Midnight promises kept as we dance,

One last time,

In this world of thorns and roses,

I quell your worries with soft lips,

And calm your coiled thoughts with honeyed words,

Whisper to me,

And I shall kneel to the glory of you,

My Queen,

As we dance one last time,

To the melody of our fate.
