[Spoken Intro]
"Mine is pure darkness
It is as blackness is
Damn the light which comes from
You as a moth to flame I burn"

[Verse 1]
In the twilight of morning I rest my weary eyes
For the benefits of the nights bounty were many
My soul has been redeemed (with those of others)
Yeah

[Verse 2]
I missed my love tonight
Hiding behind the figure I cannot bare to face
That of a dead profit
And his beast of burden
Thorns ripping through his brow

[Verse 3]
Skin soft and white, eyes fire and ice
Just as I recall
Not longer than nine score
Certainly food for the gods
And fit for a prince
Her throat I'll have it now
[Chorus]
I will have her, she is mine
Rise of the sun, my test of time
And when shadows fall on unholy ground
It's time to sleep again

[Spoken]
"As consciousness slips into blackness
I rise to nights warm embrace
And though my blood runs cold
I know my love will be alone
And my mortal heart shall beat again
Like it did ten thousand years ago"

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 4]
Forbidden love can only taste this sweet
Not like the others so incomplete
The symbolic arrow that pierces my heart
Takes the shape of a wooden stare
Now I am the one crucified, yeah
For her immortal heart I'd give my own
And die for mankind's sins
But that is not the nature of this beast
I am denied
[Chorus]
I will have her, she is mine
Rise of the sun, my test of time
When shadows fall on unholy ground
I will make her mine
