School of Night

Pin your head for me
Few hours that I have till dawn
So much I have to see
Past the watchdogs past the bridge
I stole myself away
To be all ears and breath and dread
The need to go astray

The blackest hair, the darkest sky
She embraces all
Pineal gland found in the pines
A pale beauty's call
Ague brings the nightly dew
Lovers' oaths of yore
Lunacy is a clear path
I'm knocking on her door

When to our souls we've given peace
All our mourning then shall cease
