The holy midnight moon

Brings our tears so soon

Crying over blood and spit

Who will be buried in the pit? 


The dear midnight lament

So we never forget

Dear dames and abandoned girls

Chained here, clinging here, obey the rules!

Together, mother moon, we know here

Inmates overcome with fear

Our sisters are among cloud and star

With the midnight moon, watching from afar


Yes, lovely midnight lament

Dry our eyes and make permanent

Our soft kisses before early morning sleep

For in private of confidence, we weep


A prayer to the midnight moon

Our dove, taken too soon

None of us will submit

Until hellfire is lit!
