After the last of waning moon
before the waxing of the new
where lie the darker paths of rune.
Let spite be cast and strewn
and far away from me and you
after the last of waning moon
We dance to piper's merry tune
as lunar lore comes into view
where lie the darker paths of rune.
The words of pain be left to croon,
and Queen of Fae shall guide us true
after the last of waning moon.
Listen close where whispers commune
amid the Autumn's vibrant hue
where lie the darker paths of rune.
Secrets revealed too fast, too soon,
yet still our hearts come shining through
after the last of waning moon
where lie the darker paths of rune.
