lyrics

I was there

Was there when this moon secured control of tides and seas
Then demanded bats and owls and more night beasts like these

I was there

Witnessed when she climbed the sky and fell back down again
Watched the way, while she was full, torn minds would turn insane

Embrace the darkness
Welcome the night
Drink my health with absinthe in the moonlight

I was there

As a child, watching moonbeams dance on slumber's cover
Saw her dreamy light unite loner with a lover

I was there

When my moon and midnight met and celebrated mass
Knew her hue of deepest blue could never come to pass

Embrace the darkness
Welcome the night
Drink my health with absinthe in the moonlight

And I am here

Man in moon
See him shine
Feel him stretch my face and spine
Man in me made lupine
Grey fur coats this form of mine

Embrace the darkness
Welcome the night
Toast your soul with absinthe in the moonlight

Where spectral moonlight conjures its ghosts and ghouls
And vampire gangs craving blood comb city streets

Embrace the darkness
Welcome the night
Drink my health with absinthe in the moonlight
