Version 1 of the lyrics

1  Oh my dearest, the sweet music in the ear.   Albeit, daresay I, the lullaby of                1
2  Albeit, daresay I, the lullaby of an everso dark sleep.                                           an everso dark sleep. 2
3  [R:] My precious,   R: My precious, 3
  Likest thou what emergeth yon the distant?  Likest thou what emergeth yon the distant?
  The throbbing and breathing of life's machinery!  The throbbing and breathing of life's machinery!
4  [LK:] Wanion its oh so damndest soul!   LK: Wanion its oh so damndest soul! 4
  With the devil-instrument it we shall reap,  With the devil-instrument it we shall reap,
  After the banquet obscur'd in our thole,  After the banquet obscur'd in our thole,
  Its blood so lovingly across our faces smear  Its blood so lovingly across our faces smear
  Lord of carnagel,  Lord of carnagel,
5  [R:] Lady of carnagel,   R: Lady of carnagel, 5
6  [LK:] One funeral maketh many,   LK: One funeral maketh many, 6
7  [R:] Swarm god's acres;   R: Swarm god's acres; 7
8  [LK:] Two indeed more: Blest treat of delight -   LK: Two indeed more:                               8
9  [R:] Give praise for the blood it bled,   Blest treat of delight -                   9
1  R: Give praise for the blood it bled,1
  Grant a rose for the dead!  Grant a rose for the dead!
10  [LK:] Grant a rose for the dead!   LK: Grant a rose for the dead! 10
11  [R:] Enraptur'd by the timeless beauty of the Shadowsphere,   R: Enraptur'd by the timeless beauty of the                11
2  Shadowsphere,2
  We two abide the overlook'd time of the watch.  We two abide the overlook'd time of the watch.
12  [LK:] Make this cherish'd feast last   LK: Make this cherish'd feast last 12
  But until the new dawn ascendeth.  But until the new dawn ascendeth.
13  [R:] Be still - harken the lure of night!   R: Be still - harken the lure of night! 13
  Bale in each its damndest shadow,  Bale in each its damndest shadow,
  Cloth me in night, ne'er fell rue,  Cloth me in night, ne'er fell rue,
  In its face, behold! naught save grue.  In its face, behold! naught save grue.
  Pray, ne'er come hither daylight!  Pray, ne'er come hither daylight!
  Velvet darkness, thee we ourselves bestow!  Velvet darkness, thee we ourselves bestow!
14  [LK:] Wane to dust the wight,   LK: Wane to dust the wight, 14
  Misery it in velvet fright  Misery it in velvet fright
