The Shame of Hallowtide

The Shame of Hallowtide

On ancient ground our love first took its strides
I went dancing off with misery at night
She mirrored only fear within my eyes
As she became the secret shame of Hallowtide

Slender fingers pressed themselves against my face
Giving all my former shadows shapes and names
The dark within now brought harshly into light
As she became the secret shame of Hallowtide

Then disappeared the skip beneath my feet
In every truth there was a whisper of deceit
My lust for her is now a hollow self denied
As she became the secret shame of Hallowtide

She left me like a spectre in despair
A silent heart with no more rhythm left to care
Holding Grief and sorrow as my only bride
As she became the secret shame of Hallowtide

On ancient ground our love first took its strides
I went dancing off with misery at night
She mirrored only fear within my eyes
As she became the secret shame of hallowtide
