Testo Artemis

Testo Artemis

In her name you sacrifice
Embrace my art
Love let me go
In her name, cruel goddess touch
Embrace my song, thy wind, thy womb

Virginal steps to be born
Embrace this flesh I need to know
Under dark moon wolf-skin throne
Flowered thy nymphs
Let flow thy womb

I don't need anyone
I don't love anyone

Away washed in velvet tide
I tremble as I kiss your shores
I lay upon endless sands
Worship a voice beyond my own

On the plains of Nysa I die;
When I arise, I mourn alone
Your love fails me far from home
Embrace my art,
Love let me go

I don't need anyone
I don't love anyone

Artemis, please be kind to me
My own wolves savage' devour me
Artemis, please be kind to me
My own wolves cruel' devour me
