With my dark lord, a rift has grown,
With my dark lord, a rift has grown,
With my dark lord, a rift has grown.
Just once, let me lie at his feet,
Just once, at his feet, let me weep.
A hundred times, I’ve fallen there,
A hundred times, fallen in prayer.
With my dark lord, a rift has grown.

I’m shattered, remade, undone,
Then brought to beauty, newly spun.
To find him as I am, I yearn,
To find him as I am, I turn.
He softens not, by any plea,
He softens not, for even me.
I’ve wept, I’ve yearned, I’ve sulked, I’ve pleaded,
I’ve wept, I’ve yearned, my heart is bleeding.
How could he then, enshrine me within?
How could he then, the dwelling begin?
He'd bring to my lips,
He'd bring to my lips, a joy so keen.
