About Lord Soth’s Song
The intensity behind this song should be akinto that of Dracula stalking a victim who has justrealized he is being followed down a dark street.One can imagine the orange light of Soth’s eyesglowing more brightly, his anticipation barelyheld in check, until it reached a brilliance thatthreatens to consume anyone who looks at it.
That driving need is accentuated by the restlessmovement of the bassoon. The piano pilesdark upon dark in its chords of sevenths and minors.The voice singing this piece should have asilky, misleading undertone that promised anythingto get what it wants, a feeling of powertinged with loneliness and frustration.The Bassoon and piano parts were not writtento mesh.
Lyrics
Set aside the buried lightof candle, torch, and rotting wood.And listen to the turn of nightcaught 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 ridesthe foxfire of your breath.
