Annihilating midnight Whose tunes were breeding within? When Thou wast awaken'd I'll aspire on black wings Away from that curs'd place Where Thou hast died Who shalt be waiting for me?

O Aphrodite, Goddess of my hate I shall enslave Thee in the triumph of summer In the spires of winter and autumnal tears... With an evergrowing sorrow O Aphrodite, Goddess of my wrath Of my swaying unnatural state When Thy spectre is sent by the moonlight Will I see Thee again?

The things created by nature will fall into primordial darkness: The moment of initiation into mystery. The glorious pace of my ominous hate. Seven ways lead from the coil of useless flesh to the place beyond the veil, where my Aphrodite is dancing amongst the dead."
