Carpe Noctem lyrics

There is no future, there is no more past

No roots nor fruits, but momentary flowers,

Lie still, only lie still and night will last

Silent and dark, not for a space of hours,

But everlastingly. Let me forget

All but your perfume, every night but this.

The shame, the fruitless weeping, the regret.

Only lie still: this faint and quiet bliss

Shall flower upon the brink of sleep and spread

Till there is nothing left but you and I

Clasped in a timeless silence. But like one

Who, doomed to die, at morning will be dead,

I know, though night seem dateless, that the sky

must brighten soon before tomorrow's sun.
