Lightcatcher

I lingered in that wasteland waiting for your bright arrival, losing my mind to desire
Beneath the nightskies fields of obsidian I awakened again
Lightcatcher, I had a dream of defiance! and the universe was silent!
I lived in so vivid a void even that divine silence was too much noise
When you look into my eyes, I wonder if you wish you had lived a different life
Take me in the eventide, like a fallen angel I was tarnished by that void, desire
When you look into my eyes, it was like witnessing midnight for the first time
Lightcatcher, I had a dream of defiance! and the universe was silent!
I dwelled in divine silence before this rebellion of desire in my ribs
Then I vanished into night winds and for an instant I was weightless as the light — 
The sanctity of scars! I offer myself to the devouring world 
Witness the withering years, now I’m somewhere else forever 
In the adamantine midnights I witnessed your sleepless eyes on fire
Madonna saint and martyr, bear me to a verdant age, away from this wasteland
I witnessed your sleepless eyes on fire it was the midnight’s dark invitation to desire 
The decades! the decades! children of men, pray, who can say what happened then? 
It’s the feast at my neck I can’t forget, with the rebirth of desire, I resurrect 
Lightcatcher, I had a dream of defiance! and the universe was silent!

I waited for you in the deluge. Like the first flood, I was a daughter of genesis too.
How did I become this meek creature, sleepwalking to my slaughter?
Stargazing into the dead darkness, it feels like the end of days, I dreamed myself faraway—

I did not think I had infinite time — indeed, I was always dying.
The dark rains came in legions. The decades! the decades! Children of men, pray, who can say what happened then? My life blinks away day after day. What a decadent age, I was swallowed by the shadow seasons. The dark rains came in legions. Surely you were a winged being, surely you were Heaven’s ephemeral dream. At the bridge of midnight, I witnessed silent pilgrims: night birds in longing flight.

Losing my mind to desire, I’m as fragile as light in the vespertine 
I fear my heartbeat is awakening again
Your daughter of Genesis screaming in the evening 
I collapsed into a dream
When your wings visited me, I surrendered to your majesties 
How can I survive this Genesis?
Witness your god desire in metamorphosis 
I mutate in the cold moonlight
There’s a permanent scream lodged in my throat: it's what I chose, it's what I chose 
Come to Carthage again 
Come to that darkness again 
Leave Eden for me you bright winged being
This life is better than eternity
