Memories Forever Unadorned Lyrics
Your sweet embrace, is the bitter warmth I seekO' Death come close thy hands, O'er this lifeless flowerLet the petals fall, upon memories now adornedI shall lay her down upon the shores of our loveAwash in the pale light of the night's skyThe winds that carried her laugh and stole away her criesShall be with thee that morning that eternal dawnThe beauty was hers to enjoy yet not to give awayLike winter's sad dance upon rose's scant lifeWith frost brushed tears upon thy blood stained handsI saw her soul drift away, never to hold againI shall never forgive the gods for the misery they gave her to theeFor the pain of her death has destroyed the joy of life and loveI shall never again behold her grace nor her divinity upon thy eyesLike grains of black sand falling through thy desperate graspI have mourned her grievous loss draped in a gray veil of deceitDistant memories entwine thy hatred for the loneliness of lifeI would give this dark gift away for one more moment in her armsI would cast away this sullen husk to kiss her lips once more, once more...I yearn to feel the sun's warmth once again upon thy faceI begat this daystar to steal away these piercing daysOnly in the rapture of the sun shall I find thy happinessThe years wear thin the pride and there is no more joy to find in lifeThe poppied sleep is what I dream of these last hoursIn meadows of ebony flowers swaying in the wind Life is there, in the raven skyBliss is found in the rolling clouds that mock thee (for they are free)Bliss is found in the starlight that beckons thee (for life shines no more)There is no fear, only adorationYour rivers and your streams have grownTo fill the seas with mournful tearsOf thy heart and thy pain shall rain downTo fill the seas once moreYour gown and your crest of blackIs the tempest of which I seek, Bestow to thee the eyes to seeThe glory of thy days first dawnThy ancient passion breeds the fear you lust in manI have become unto thee what no man may dareThe fruit is wine, yet it is poisonThe bough's are many yet they are weak and brittleThey are delicate ashes waiting for a gentle windThe wine is mud, and the dreams are deadYour rivers and your streams have grownTo fill the oceans deep with bloodOf thy breast doth scarlet rains drownTo fill the oceans once moreGrief is lost to these memories I have adornedOrnate decorations of life forgotten in the march of timeThey shall perish with the sun, fadingFor this, I shall not fear you when your hallowed gaze is castI await our dance in the twilight with each lifeless breathErotic and passionate death, absolve theeO' Death come close thy eyes and steal away the nightThe flower has died and crumbled to dustO'Death come close thy hands to this empty voidThe blood has dried and the passion has goneI shall follow the night's descent beyond the mountains glareAnd await the day's arrival, slowly finding theeTo admire the beauty of the dawn is to greet the eternal sleepYet with open arms I concede this loss, yet gainFarewell to life and love and farewell to the painSorrow will not find thee again, I am beyond its' callThe mourning's calm is upon thee, the caress is warm like lustThere is no pain in the burning, yet I know death is here
