Daughter of Darkness

Frank Cadogan Cowper: La belle dame sans merci

She came to me inside a dream
Bathed in the light of a thousand years
Through the mist of another cold black night

A lonely road at the edge of the world
A sudden change in the mist occurred
Her eyes glowed bright, but her gaze spoke of doom

I felt the wind on my back, I saw the knife in her hand
That's when I knew I had to run away

Daughter of darkness, now I see who you are
Daughter of darkness, an evil face in the crowd
Daughter of darkness, I know who you are
Daughter of darkness, let me come inside

A simple touch put an end to my fears
Her soothing voice was all I could hear
Beckoning me toward her gift of light
I tried to hide from the shadow she cast
Will I face the morning at last
God help me please, have I gone mad

I felt the wind on my back, I saw the knife in her hand
That's when I knew I had to run away

Daughter of darkness, now I see who you are
Daughter of darkness, an evil face in the crowd
Daughter of darkness, I know who you are
Daughter of darkness, let me come inside

God help me, save me, take me away

So now I live in fear of a dream
The wait feels like a thousand years
When I face my one last cold black night
I travel roads to the ends of the world
My future, my past, folded and furled
The light of her eyes will lead me back home

I felt the wind on my back, I saw the knife in her hand
That's when I knew I had to run away

Daughter of darkness, now I see who you are
Daughter of darkness, an evil face in the crowd
Daughter of darkness, I know who you are
Daughter of darkness, let me come inside
Let me come inside, take me away

God help me, save me, take me away
