My Dying Bride Meisterwerk II Sear Me MCMXCIII Pour yourself into me, our time approaches so near, that I sigh. What danger in such an adorer? We dance and the music dies. We carry them all away, as we glide through their lost eyes. You lift me above myself, with the ghostly lake of your mind. Arise from your slumber in my arms. Your beauty took the strength from me. In the meadows of heaven, we run through the stars. Romantic in our tastes. We are without excuse. We burn in our lust. We die in our eyes and drown in our arms. Follower Looking across the way She yells out loud Got no time today I'm still stuck in this crowd Pushing them from my face She isn't far behind I'll win this human race If I obey the signs Throw my hands in the air I'm fucking mad. No-one cares I'd kill them all without a thought Take a bow when I get caught She's closer now. Just a throw away I cannot slow. I cannot stay She screams to me. One last chance I stumble 'round and catch a glance Vast Choirs Burdens of grief that weigh against me Aid my tired eyes in their search for pitch Your kinds heart now pines For whom the gods love dies young Wrapped and confounded in a thousand fears The sadness I present, smiles with tears Where once I'd loved now lied forlorn beauty And wars abhorred by mothers No man lives so poor as he was born We don't remember pure sensations Gaze peacefully into the past I am dust , and to dust I shall return Belial, Mephisto, both shall burn me up Devour my sad whimperings The cutting whip is mine to feel No symphony in mind to colour my dreams Poena damni Sorrow everywhere Please pray for me When deep sleep falls on men Father hold me I am yours to bear Ad te In the play which he has written for the world Night is the mother of sleep Old age is a malady of which one dies Augury of a better age Sages as far as the beard Their wounds smelled so sweetly Temptation, the father of my lust Chalcedony shines like the new born Stricken I'd raise my dripping limbs Splendid was the innocentcs fall Laugh to scorn would our foe Amid wars laws are silent Drop by drop in sleep upon the heart Falls the labrious memory of pain In the rich upheavel of vast choirs Death shall flee from me Misericordium et judicium Adhoest pavimento Ad te levavi ocolus meos Verba mea auribus She is the Dark A cruel sleep 'cross our land All withered and dying As the fall, the victims They're dying a sad death In our land, we lay down And suffer again A dark girl'cross our land Is pacing. Is preying And with her, a fever A marching black fever No eyes see. No features Just black form, suffering You have her sympathy You have her tears She tries only to take All your fears The pain she feels When she drinks your soul Is hers to suffer It is her toll Believe me, she's helpless When she curses our land When she swallows light It's not her hand Poison awaits when you kiss her Her heart cries out for you, for me Untold misery is hers to serve out for eternity Out cold. Mankind will stay forevermore if she gets her way She can't help it. It's her curse To sing your pain in her own verse She is the dark The nightmares you hide The pain you feel The suffering inside Though she was like you Through her dark past But now, the conqueror Her choirs vast Oh, please forgive her As mankind dies As angels weep And heaven cries Poison awaits when you kiss her Her heart cries out for you, for me Untold misery is hers to serve out for eternity Out cold. Mankind will stay forevermore if she gets her way She can't help it. It's her curse To sing your pain in her own verse Catching Feathers If my child should die before me The sweetness of youth A smile that sings Eyes alight Insanely butchered Perverse drooling Horrific beyond restraint Lord of the dance Lust is murder For this brave man High, slaughtering general In a white feathered army Mort knows your name His, before your time I'd love to see you suffer Too much to be called a crime The sweetness of youth A smile that sings Eyes alight Insanely butchered Perverse drooling You cannot even pray For you have no god Two Winters Only What is it you hope for, even though you are dying? And even though life is closing your tiny eyes Why did I leave them all? I should be with them to die in the same place The pain I think, should go on forever. For always But no. Not mine. Not now. My life now begins Call me what you will, but I'll die for no man, at all My limbs and the life that spreads from them Cross my path and you'll suffer like no man before, at all What I hunger for, is the trial of God For just two winters only did we live for My God. What have you become? Dear, dear lord We could have changed the world, had you been here with me. Right now Held you in my arms. In my arms, my love Jesus wept so man could live forever on earth. In peace But my tears. They fall for you. Only you Your River Your bloodied body is what I cling to. In powerful rain, they laid their heads to die. Let your dark, thirsty eyes drink deep the sights of me. It's sad that, in our blindness, we gather thorns for flowers. Your river holds a feast of danger. The suffering you have had to bear. I'd die for that moment one more time. The loved one falls below your ideals. Pleasure too safely enjoyed lacks zest. The brave lick their sickening lips. Rigid, handsome and a poet. A king in his passionate castle. Where now? Feed me! Hold me! Save me! Save yourself! Where now? Which way? Dear god, show me. Take your own. Struggle free! Arise! You're Ruined! Stand down! Your kin, piled thick around you. Save yourself! Some Velvet Morning Some velvet morning when I'm straight. I'm gonna open up your gate. And maybe tell you 'bout Phaedra and how she gave me life and how she made it in. Some velvet morning when I'm straight. Some velvet morning when I'm straight. I'm gonna open up your gate. And maybe tell you 'bout Phaedra and how she gave me life and how she made it in. Some velvet morning when I'm straight. Flowers are the things we knew. Secrets are the things we grew. Learn from us very much. Look at us but do not touch. Phaedra is my name. Some velvet morning when I'm straight. I'm gonna open up your gate. And maybe tell you 'bout Phaedra and how she gave me life and how she made it in. Some velvet morning when I'm straight.
