Artemis Lyrics

Love begets love, and only love remains
Amidst thunderous storms of fury and blame
As betrayal, loneliness and shame
Forged an astounding aether of the life lust acclaimed

Thus passion's avatar traverses the dark
Caressing flashes of the heart's works of art
Oh consort most divine, from me ten worlds apart
Who are we but sorrows, which, entwined, depart?

Alas, I yearn thousandfold
Even if just to burn and fade once again
Or to live, to have and to hold
Enraptured ad aeternum, I will remain
As two souls terraform an eclipse
'Till the days of the dire adieu
And after, when the void caresses these lips
I'll turn ice to cinder through memories of you

Empress of the wild, magic and the moon
Subsiding all my tempests through starlight strewn

Will the weight of us turn all bliss to mire,
As choirs of maelstroms devour all desire
Or transfix requiems into gleaming sonatas,
While drinking from hands scarred by stigmata?

Alas, I yearn thousandfold
Even if just to burn and fade once again
Or to live, to have and to hold
Enraptured ad aeternum, I will remain

As two souls terraform an eclipse
'Till the day of the dire adieu
And after, when the void caresses these lips
I will turn ice to cinder through memories of you

Through memories of you
