[Verse 1]
So forth we fare from den to den
For we are hated of all men
Defying the void when light recedes
Do we dare disturb the universe
With crooked chants and our crooked verse
Dare we disturb you in your dreams?

[Verse 2]
As in myriad swarms they sail the sky
Beneath dim blue vault of night
In myriad swarms they’re passing by
As we sleep in ditches by the ways
Just like the dogs that hunger slays
We sleep in ditches by the ways

[Chorus]
Oh what may comе (Oh what may come)
When light be gonе? (when light be gone?)
Oh what may come when light be gone?
Oh what may come (Oh what may come)
When light be gone? (when light be gone?)
Oh what may come when light be gone?

[Verse 3]
No father over our slumber prays
Our hands against black fate we raise
To filch the death-bread of the strays
As nations die out and sprout again
But blood and gold forever reign
As nations rise and fall again

[Chorus]
Oh what may come (Oh what may come)
When light be gone? (when light be gone?)
Oh what may come when light be gone?
Oh what may come (Oh what may come)
When light be gone? (when light be gone?)
Oh what may come when light be gone?

[Verse 1]
So forth we fare from den to den
For we are hated of all men
Defying the void when light recedes
Do we dare disturb the universe
With crooked chants and our crooked verse
Dare we disturb you in your dreams?

[Verse 4]
It is we who have slain your lord
He who’d kept the watch and ward
We who have slain your lord
When morning spreads against the sky
Grant us this last twist of the knife
As morning spreads against the sky

[Chorus]
Oh what may come (Oh what may come)
When light be gone? (when light be gone?)
Oh what may come when light be gone?
Oh what may come (Oh what may come)
When light be gone? (when light be gone?)
Oh what may come when light be gone?
