Scarlet Moon

There was a stillness in November
I remember scorpion skies
And the streets all filled with the shadows
Called from the hallows of the black mothers cries
She screamed out her story in tangled tongues
The ones you'd never speak into sight
She lured out her holy blood
Flooding the night painting satellites

It was a dark moon
I was a dark dark moon
It was a dark moon
It was a scarlet moon

Lilith burned the poems she wrote
In the fires of a hearth that was spreading its wings
And the feathers fanned fast the rising smoke
Invoking the goddess scrying her coming dreams
And no she did not apologize
For giving her blood to the earth
She did so with mercy in her eyes
For the lies lingering in the depths of eves heart

It was a dark moon
I was a dark dark moon
It was a dark moon
It was a scarlet moon

Precious eve
Lament no more
Your curious nature
Condemn no more
Your myths of death and darkness
Repent no more
This crimson tide rises for you
Blood mysteries revived for you
Saint of seduction
And mother of sin
This song it is alive for you

It was a dark moon
I was a dark dark moon
It was a dark moon
It was a scarlet moon
