<br><center>COMMUNION</center>


<center> Out of the twilight you must go
<br>Over the Nighside now alone
<br>Traced your steps for a thousand miles
<br>Please don't leave me behind.


<br>Yours the hands that heal, yours the eyes that feel
<br>Scarlet lips to tell, dark Medea's veil
<br>In thirst for life you cry; here I stand beside
<br>Mine the choice to give, mine the chance to live


<br>Three days passed, in death you lay
<br>Roused the beast within, necrophage
<br>Comfort to the queen of light
<br>Face to face we stand


<br>Yours the hands that heal, yours the eyes that feel
<br>Scarlet lips to tell, dark Medea's veil
<br>In thirst for life you cry; here I stand beside
<br>Mine in love to know, mine the blood to flow.
