Darkness, you are the night

That shines in ebony brilliance

The black that ignites my soul

When I bask in your pitch

Seeking the shadows, your eclipse

Cimmerian in color, distinct

Is the ink of your veil, and I

Your most loyal servant

Find myself, again, aphotic

Closer, to the sunless sky

Uniting as one, with Erebus
