About Lord Soth’s Song
The intensity behind this song should be akin
to that of Dracula stalking a victim who has just
realized he is being followed down a dark street.
One can imagine the orange light of Soth’s eyes
glowing more brightly, his anticipation barely
held in check, until it reached a brilliance that
threatens to consume anyone who looks at it.
That driving need is accentuated by the restless
movement of the bassoon. The piano piles
dark upon dark in its chords of sevenths and minors.
The voice singing this piece should have a
silky, misleading undertone that promised anything
to get what it wants, a feeling of power
tinged with loneliness and frustration.
The Bassoon and piano parts were not written
to mesh.
Lyrics
Set aside the buried light
of candle, torch, and rotting wood.
And listen to the turn of night
caught in your rising blood.
How quiet is the midnight, love,
how warm the winds where ravens fly.
Where all the changing moonlight, love,
Pales in your fading eye.
How loud your heart is calling love,
how close the darkness at your breast,
how hectic are the rivers, love,
drawn through your dying wrist.
And, love, what heat your frail skin hides,
as pure as salt, as sweet as death.
and in the dark the red moon rides
the foxfire of your breath.
