Before the night
The twilight speaks
Before the day

We can't see our way

A spell is cast in whispered law

Did we go so wrong because of the eventide?
The evening waters took our mind
I will embrace the dread of our wake

The dawn will wash it away

Before the words

The beast sends the roar
Before the hymns
The frail can only shout


A spell is cast only in pitch dark


Close the gate
Expel our fate
Renew the ways

Release the prey
