Dedicated to my beloved cat Abby

lyrics

I awaken at nightfall
Bathe in starshine
My spirit, knife-like aligned

I will sink my teeth in the night
Come to claim my sacred right
Elegant shadowy wight

Silent trees, they weep as I pass
Stalking in darkness, concealed by the grass
Waiting to slay you at last

I race, with heavenly grace
Pursuing the sound of their heartbeats
I feel the cycle is complete

Chorus

I am the empress
Smoke in the air
Inescapable death and despair

I slip on the silver
Glistening vestment bestowed by the sky
And stain it with crimson
A beautiful sight to my eyes

Claws extended
My eyes reflecting the moon

Now in ecstasy I swallow the world
Beholden to no one
A shadow, a star

Now in ecstasy I swallow the world
Beholden to no one
A shadow, a star

Chorus

I am the empress
Nocturnal master, I breathe in the air
Destroyer of weaklings
Underling creatures beware

I slip on the silver
Glistening vestment bestowed by the sky
And stain it with crimson
A beautiful sight to my eyes

Claws extended
My eyes reflecting the moon

These creatures, my playthings, in hiding
Your Goddess is coming to take you
Know that you bring me joy

Now at last, I’ve satisfied
My primal craving for whimpering cries
Slumber creeps into my eyes

I return into the shadows
Beckoned by the warmth
