Dark Love©
written by Mercedes Lackey, sung by Tempest on the Serrated Edge Album
Patient and Silent she waits for the night
Waits for the hours of daylight to end
Waits for the whisper of words on the wind
Waits for the touch of a lover and friend
Dressed in black from shadows he comes
Pale as a star with the night in his eyes
Clouded by mystery followed by fear
Haunted by horror, and hunted by life
Passion comes Cloaked in the mists of the night
Darkness is framed by desire
Shadows have eyes filled with longing and pain
Love wears a deathmask and life is a liar
Now she is caught in the shadow embrace
Taking no more than she wishes to give
Love of her soul that her friend might endure
Wine of her life that her lover might live
Drowning in pleasure that well might his pain
Lost in the depths of his hunger and need
Resting her life and her soul in his hand
This is the truest Surrender indeed
Passion comes cloaked in the mists of the night
Darkness is framed by desire
Shadows have eyes filled with longing and pain
Love wears a deathmask and life is a liar
Shadows are dying now she stands alone
Night is withdrawing, her lover is gone
Weeping she waits for the winds of the night
Hating the sunlight, despising the dawn
Passion comes cloaked in the mists of the night
Darkness is framed by desire
Shadows have eyes filled with longing and pain
Love wears a deathmask and life is a liar
Passion comes cloaked in the mists of the night
Darkness is framed by desire
Shadows have eyes filled with longing and pain
Love wears a deathmask and life is a liar
