Lyrics for Darkness (L'Immoraliste)

Nelson Darkness, you are my priestess Darkness, you are my pride My night in shining armour, Disarmer of every tide That swept the beaches clean of starfish A death-wish to my kind Helpless, heedless, selfish, needless to say It's no surprise You're with me most every night You're with me most every night Darkness, you are my true love Darkness, you are my bride My consummated passion, No fashionable disguise A sleeping kiss and my demon twin lays dreaming By my side Screaming, grinning, Beating pinioned wings against the skies I sail with you, most every night I know the truth, The secrets of a soul, I know, I know, But no-one listens, No, no-one hears I've seen the light, The poets bright and distant mirror, They are searching there I have seen them there, For I have travelled there And they are searching there For a home.
