Silent beating
A hidden, frozen heart
Summer birds
A flock glides through Winter
Black Night shapes.

Crescent scythe
Reaper's ancient dagger
Sliver moon
A knife's mirror edge
Black Night shapes.

Deep purring
A shifting nighttime herd
Black-emerald trees
Nocturnal giants move in half-sleep
Black Night shapes.

Soon the disaster of Light
The warriors of Yellow Day will come
Death approaches
The elegance and mystery
Of Black Night will die
And her countless phantoms will
Perish alongside her.
