Midnight
A hush falls through the melancholy halls of Collinwood
I, Barnabas lie in deep sleep in my bed of purple velvet
Asleep, but awake to your thoughts, your dreams, your desires
Alone, but cradled by the presence of your mind
I hear your call, I feel your yearning
I know that you want me
I know that you need me
The oppressing weight of long lost time lies heavily upon me
The deepening gloom that covers me
Binds me in my sepulchre
I hear your call
I feel your yearning
I must go to you
I struggle to free the invisible chains that bind me
I search in the embalmed darkness
For a nebulous light that will lead me to you
I hear your call
I feel your yearning
I am with you

Shadows of the Night
Shadows of the night
Falling silently,
Echo of the past
Calling you to me.
Haunting memory
Veiled in misty glow
Phanotm melody
Playing soft and low.
In this world that we know now
Life is here, then gone
But somewhere in the afterglow
Love lives on and on.
Dreams of long ago
Meet in rendezvous,
Shadows of the night,
Calling me to you
