Open the door, O' darling!
Let the madness inside
When it comes knocking
In the murkiness of the night.
Let the blackbird sing you to sleep,
Sleep; a little taste of death.
When the tears take their leap,
Be weepy as you can get.
In the solitude of the new moon,
Let the raven take its crown.
In delirium, you crawl across the dune
While your thoughts weigh you down.
The devil from a distant dream,
The gloomy eyes take a squint
With a dreary midnight's lament scream,
Unravels the labyrinth.
Close the door behind, O' darling!
Once you've let it inside
Don't just stand there snarling
In the murkiness of the night.
