Ligeia (Immortality through Crime) |
|
She spread the wings of her languidness |
|
Through the nightshadows charming |
|
The moon wept each birth of dawn |
|
Her soft marbled skin |
|
And red velvet lips |
|
A dark nymph that angels should crown |
|
In the depth of her eyes |
|
Archaic secrets conspire |
|
A misterious purpose |
|
Shrouded in longing desires |
|
Possessed by dread |
|
She danced entranced with death |
|
On your mourning beauty I bleed |
|
Falling into the clutches |
|
Of an insane dream |
|
Ligeia |
|
Wherever thy image may be |
|
No magic shall sever |
|
Thy music from thee |
|
Silent she lies |
|
And my kiss goes through the black shroud |
|
Truth lurks beyond her veiled eyes |
|
Come to me and embrace my sorrow |
|
Until the anguish of awakening |
|
Thirsty for oblivion |
|
I crept towards the bleak shores |
|
Of a second maid |
|
But winds yell her name |
|
Spreading the seed of my shame |
|
That bites my feeble heart |
|
Beneath nocturnal rain |
|
Death reverts to breath |
|
In return for my sins |
|
Flagelating the hopes |
|
With a cruel tragedy |
|
Madness entangles her soul |
|
Stoned by disease |
|
In return for my sins |
|
Shining venomous tears into wine |
|
Silent she lies |
|
And my stare goes through the black shroud |
|
Truth lurks beyond her veiled eyes |
|
Come to me and embrace my sorrow |
|
Until the anguish of awakening |
|
Eyelids tremble |
|
Immortality through crime |
|
Ligeia awakes from shadows arises |
|
Frost burns to uncover |
|
The truth that lurks beyond her eyes |
