creatures of dawn

do not delay
do not fall behind
for we must hurry now
the dawn she breaks on the eastern sea
and day must not catch us
must not see the light in our dark eye
so hurry along now leave your burdens
leave all you have known
trinkets and fine cloth will not save you now
for we flee into nights sole haven
a house forlorn and ancient as the darkness
which birthed such wretched creatures as
you and i my poor sweet love

come along now hurry your steps
for the dawn is almost upon us
with its wrath for all who would forsake
the world of light for nights embrace
come along now hurry your steps my sweet one
the dawns heavy steps come quick now
for life and limb for light is certain death
remember your pact and promise
remember you have sworn against the sun
come quick with me
to the house of shadows
and dwell in darkness and magic with me
