I call upon thee




Oh grate lady of the sea
on this night I call upon thee

wash my heart of all its sins

for I wish my soul to be lust free

so I may live happy and carefree

oh grate lord of the moon

on this night I call upon thee

grant me your changing power

for I wish to change my heart

so I may love yet never hurt

oh grate lady of the sun

on this night I call upon thee

for when the morning comes

I do so wish to be a bran new me
