Ligeia lyrics

Inspired by E. A. Poe

Dear child, are you scared tonight?
Your body is trembling
Dear child, you are a tragic bride
With a blemished mind

Dear soul, I will take you
To the very ends of the earth
Dear soul I will break you
The marble BREED is mine

`Out - out are the lights - out all!
And over each quivering form,
The curtain, a funeral pall,
Comes down with the rush of a storm, ...`

Dear worm, are you strong enough?
I will defy you
Dear worm, I will rise up high
From the glowing embers

`...And the angels, all pallid and wan,
Uprising, unveiling, affirm
That the play is the tragedy, `Man`,
And its hero the conqueror Worm`.
