Intoxicated, I worship my gods in the dark,
Carry me there, carry me home.
Through the land of dawn's dark sister,
Carry me safe until the gates are opened.

Magician’s Gambit, by David Eddings5 months ago
I do hope this comes with context.
Well, the context should be fairly clear: I was drunk. Not at the time of posting, I will note, but at the time of writing. It follows on from the "Fragments" post earlier: this is one that I've never gotten around to translating. I was inspired to post it on observing a pair of young gentlemen walking past my flat in the wee small hours, the drink having taken. They were singing "Show me the way to go home"...
Ha, I see. Thought it came from some deep meditation on the Indo-European goddess of night à la Ceisiwr Serith and its application to the Brythonic context.
Nah, while the imagery is solidly IE, it's mainly the result of alcohol.
