Wings of Darkness

 

arise form your slumber

O child of night!

Dusk has come,

it is time to fly.

Lifting up on leathery wings,

Wings of shadow black,

Wings of darkness.

Fly through the heavy dark of the cave,

to greet the silvery moonlight outside.

Slide between the walls of stone,

around the hanging stalactites.

Touch the soul with your hot breath,

cut the air with your wings of darkness.
