Nox Noctis Theca Dies (as night envelops the day)

A splendor so fair now is gone The sun does set away so far Enchanted honor in flames lies undone My claim, my cherished is abandoned I see her gaze upon my face In vivid prayer alight in haze A ship upon the shore ablaze A daemon danse of fallen grace A desert ray in the midst of May So weary a shade such morning rays It creeps upon the sands of grey A sting to pierce the soul away
