*QUEEN OF THE NIGHT* I feel your energy, Synergy, Breaking down as the days bleed out. Night time drapes in, You're living, A vivacious twist. While they exist in a dream cloud. Everyone around you is sleeping... Holding loving ones close, Holding so tight... But oh no, Not the queen, Queen of the Night! Those four o’clocks swaying, In the bleeding shade of the night. Lay me on a gentle pillow, Sway me amongst the evening primrose. Wind bends gracefully, Amongst the beauty, Hidden in her breeze. Trees pray away, Giving the grace, Of her space, The room to breathe. Forest critters, Perceive no threat, Watching her rise, Every night, From the shallows of the foliage... I see her rise, Into her own, Into the quiet, Hear her call, See her light, Everyone behold... The Queen of the Night! Take me... Take me to the queen... Queen of the Night... Take me where the moonlight Falls between the trees, Take me where the flowers Open just for me... Queen of the Night... Queen of the Night... Come closer... Come inside... Kissing-close... drifting... Drifting to my eyes... Her voice, sweet as rose water, Too sweet, sickeningly, For me to go further. Her eyes to me are blind, Hiding inside dank moonlight, Should I run, could I hide, It’s all right... Just my lady of the night... The queen, Holding me tight. Too tight... To feel safe tonight... Take me... Take me to the queen... Queen of the Night... Take me where the moonlight Falls between the trees, Take me where the flowers Open just for me... Queen of the Night... Queen of the Night... Beneath her gentle light, The jack-o’-lanterns glow, Green beneath the moonless night... Where only the Queen knows where they grow. Dead man fingers, Linger to poke at me, What strange little tombstone growths, Begging for attention underneath my feet. The dead of her garden, Surfacing through the blight, Oh, Queen of the Night, Crawling up silent, Queen of the Night, Don’t trust the shine of it... Dusted poisons, Cover her skin, One touch is all it takes, To never wake up again. Petals falling, Across my eyes, Her garden blooms beneath me, While something inside me dies. She holds me closer, I don't know why... I try to breathe, But can't deny... She's whispering softly, “Don't be afraid...” As everything I was Begins to fade... Queen of the night, Slipping the light, Queen of the night, Simply come lie, Next to, The pedestal of your life. No screams, no cries, Just close your eyes... Feel the garden breathing, Feel the flowers come alive... Queen of the night, Holding me tight... Too tight... To feel safe tonight... QUEEN OF THE NIGHT! Come closer... Come inside... Kissing-close... drifting... Disinter-gra-aa-ting... Silence.
