lyrics

Tender is the night
Lyrics:Viola/Hugo

This is the time of the greyest sky
Where nightmares travel at speed of light
My lover calms the ireful squall
As temperance simmers in swirling storm
Despite my fears and woes
My anguish screams, my soul exposed

-I don't know how and I don't know why
She softly sleeps to lullabies
but tender is the night"

I curse the sun when it is gone
For starlights hiss to morbid song
Nestled 'neath protecting arms
Besotted by your wealth of charms
for I forget I'm also flesh
Desirous fool for sweet caress

and when the morning besets the sky
She readies me for sacrifice
and she will leave her wake behind
Our soul-less sorrow enmeshed, entwined
Kneeling, pleading, I beg the stars
Reveal her beauty, conceal her scars
