lorcán mac mathúna - lux in tenebris lyrics
if the dread all+seeing stars
ringed saturn and ruddy mars
and their companions all the seven
that play before the lord of heaven
fall at my feet and worship me
endow me with all sovereignty
of their wide kingdom of the blue
yet i would not believe
that you could love me
i fought unknown inhuman foes
and left them in their battle+throes
hacked a way through them and advanced
to where the stars of morning dance
in your high honor, there i stood
to see you, till the morning+flood
burst from thе sky—but your sunrise
striking my unaccustomed eyеs
in heart and eyes a drunken flame
that sang and clamored out your name
and woke a madness in my head
the enemies i had left for dead
surrounded me with gibbering cries
and mocked me for my blinded eyes
i curst them till they rose in rage
and flung me down a battle+gage
i took the challenge straightaway
and leaped—and that was yesterday
or was last year, but every hour
for weary years to break their power
still must i fight, but now a gleam
of hope comes to me like a dream
to+day, though dimly, i do see
my vision has come back to me
i searched, my vision held above
for green oasis of your love
my heart’s dry desert, hot and wide
bounded by flames on every side
so dim and old no song can tell
covers the tombs where dead kings dwell:
now demons dance upon their tombs
shut with the seals of lasting dooms
