Moonlight visits


We’re the daughters of Diana looking for our stag
Dancing in the moonbeams on Summer’s brightest night
Bowstrings taut and arrows sharp, in greenery we’re clad
Seek the mystery of the grove, you shall find our light

We are the sirens of the stars, beating on the drum
Watch our bodies swaying, sweat glistens from our skin
Our lunar love waxing high for Horned Ones to come
Welcome to the huntress’ world, why not step right in ?

Beneath moonlight, whilst in your bed, sleeping with your dream
As Endymion’s love was stole, I took your kiss
Lay with you on satin sheets to be your midnight queen
With my parted lips I claimed your youth leaving bliss

We’re silent sirens seeking sensual satisfaction
Apollo’s shafts shape shift within our hands tonight
Massaged quivering arrows firm to our attraction
Seven daughters of Niobe envy our delight

With amorous advances we’ll lead you to our shrines
Hidden deep within our caves our great riches find
The burning fires deep within where moonlight never shines
Orion’s borrowed light ne’er quenched what you may bind

Wake not from nocturnal dreams whilst we are still disrobed
Thrill within might turn to fear waking as a stag
To the daughters of Diana you have been betrothed
Sleep on, the sun will rise, the stem begin to sag

Wake to the drop that glistens upon the shining orb
Drawn forth from visitation by the moon in flight
Hunted Actaeon’s fate avoid, you shall keep your sword
Daughters of Diana shall pleasure bring each night.
