Myrkur Folkesange at St John’s Church, London
Lyrics:
Born at night
Many are called, few are chosen

open mouth
swallow up the lakes frozen

Am I adored?
je suis votre amour
am I a whore?
cause you are the drug
solitary are the things i know
in my garden they leave me alone

Soft as blood
an open heart holds no reason
slice me up
Cause your love was steeped in treason

Am I adored?
je suis votre amour
am i your whore?
cause you are the drug

solitary are the things i know
in my garden they leave me alone

sleep little darling
mother virgin
darkness serpent come to feed me
sleep little darling
bathed in moonlight

on her head a crown of twelve stars
