Oh dismal mourning...
|
I open my weary eyes once again
|
My life has been left hollow and ashes have filled the gorge of my within
|
Last night I hoped and wished I'd die in my sleep but no catharsis was granted to
|
me
|
Will this pain ever pass?
|
The enchanting perfume of winter and the bleak, cold breath of her still haunts
|
me...
|
Oportet ubique pulchritudinem evanescere
|
|
So half of me rode to the mountains and the other half soared high in the winds
|
to a place where the angels had fallen, the soil gagged and choked on their wings
|
My soul was the pale skyline that she stretched across the horizon
|
Two years had brought the fire that she paints upon my loathsome canvas
|
|
She is the dark one...
|
As a bird I watched her from my cold tower in the heavens
|
and when she fell from the northplace, I flew down and embraced her
|
I took her where the snow falls forever, she showed me the haunted woods
|
We gathered together in the oaken palace, free from both death and life
|
The fire blazed in her eyes one day and she tore the soul from my chest
|
With a bleeding heart, I flew back to my cold tower
|
to never escape and lie in a pool of death forever
|
|
I saw the nightfall...
|
It called to me like a river of shadows
|
It sang to me with the cries of a thousand ravens that blackened the sky as they
|
took flight
|
and sank the Sol
|
I shall never trust the sun again, Eridanis Nadir
|
|
I ran away far into the woods
|
To find the Sol, I called to her...
|
"I don't want to be forgotten...I never wanted to be human"
|
NEVER!!!!!
|
|
So alas the sun had descended, her fire burned brilliant in the sky
|
The trees bore their withered silhouettes, that cast a spell upon unearthly white
|
No wolf shall keep his secrets, no bird shall dance the skyline
|
And I am left with nothing but an oath that gleams like a sword
|
To bathe in the blood of man
|
Mankind...
|
