Sacred Tears Lyrics
The blackclothed bride facing destiny without fearFar at last she is to begin her own requiemThe utter ceremony of the last onesForever trapped in the grey mist of miseryFragmenst of the past flashing before her eyesAs she enters the century gatesThe old candles are burning in the vaultThe smell of dying flowers and rotten fleshSurrounds her has she finds her way among the coffinsIn the amber light of the candlelightShe sees the silhoutte of the altar of a thousand rosesFallen beyond all grace deeper and deeperThe sound of her own blood drippingLike sacred tears from a bleeding roseAn amorous requiem where she cries her sacred tearsUntil she reaches the other sideCaressed by the morning wind as it gently touchesAnd undresses her shivering bodyWith gloomy eyes she invokes the other sideAnd wraps her existence in oblivionThe wine in her veins has become sourBut still it hurts for her to drain her heartAnd sacrifise the most sacred tears of them allA scream of pain and pleasuremakes her body turn into colvulsionsAs the cold steel of the blade cuts deep into her fleshFallen beyond all grace...Hear the raven calling, the final hour has struckFor on the altar of a thousand rosesLies the dying brideAwaiting the demons arrivalIn the sign of the pentagramInvoking the deamons to riseAnd take her to the other sideAs the night falls the ritual endsher heart is now empty she is almost asleepher sacred tears are forever lostThe wind has stopped mourningAnd the raven is goneHer soul is no longer condemnedTo everlasting painFallen beyond all grace...In the amber light of the candlelightThe ground is turning redher naked body now lies pale on the altarAnd as she closes her eyesShe sighs and falls asleep
Embraced Sacred Tears
