Memories Forever Unadorned lyrics

O` Death come close thy eyes, and grant thee your eternal kiss

Your sweet embrace, is the bitter warmth I seek

O` Death come close thy hands, O`er this lifeless flower

Let the petals fall, upon memories now adorned



I shall lay her down upon the shores of our love

Awash in the pale light of the night`s sky

The winds that carried her laugh and stole away her cries

Shall be with thee that morning that eternal dawn

The beauty was hers to enjoy yet not to give away

Like winter`s sad dance upon rose`s scant life

With frost brushed tears upon thy blood stained hands

I saw her soul drift away, never to hold again



I shall never forgive the gods for the misery they gave her to thee

For the pain of her death has destroyed the joy of life and love

I shall never again behold her grace nor her divinity upon thy eyes

Like grains of black sand falling through thy desperate grasp

I have mourned her grievous loss draped in a gray veil of deceit

Distant memories entwine thy hatred for the loneliness of life



I would give this dark gift away for one more moment in her arms

I 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 face

I begat this daystar to steal away these piercing days



Only in the rapture of the sun shall I find thy happiness

The years wear thin the pride and there is no more joy to find in life



The poppied sleep is what I dream of these last hours

In meadows of ebony flowers swaying in the wind Life is there, in the

raven sky

Bliss 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 adoration



Your rivers and your streams have grown

To fill the seas with mournful tears

Of thy heart and thy pain shall rain down

To fill the seas once more

Your gown and your crest of black

Is the tempest of which I seek, Bestow to thee the eyes to see

The glory of thy days first dawn



Thy ancient passion breeds the fear you lust in man

I have become unto thee what no man may dare

The fruit is wine, yet it is poison

The bough`s are many yet they are weak and brittle

They are delicate ashes waiting for a gentle wind

The wine is mud, and the dreams are dead



Your rivers and your streams have grown

To fill the oceans deep with blood

Of thy breast doth scarlet rains drown

To fill the oceans once more



Grief is lost to these memories I have adorned

Ornate decorations of life forgotten in the march of time

They shall perish with the sun, fading

For this, I shall not fear you when your hallowed gaze is cast

I await our dance in the twilight with each lifeless breath

Erotic and passionate death, absolve thee



O` Death come close thy eyes and steal away the night

The flower has died and crumbled to dust

O`Death come close thy hands to this empty void

The blood has dried and the passion has gone



I shall follow the night`s descent beyond the mountains glare

And await the day`s arrival, slowly finding thee

To admire the beauty of the dawn is to greet the eternal sleep

Yet with open arms I concede this loss, yet gain

Farewell to life and love and farewell to the pain

Sorrow will not find thee again, I am beyond its` call

The mourning`s calm is upon thee, the caress is warm like lust

There is no pain in the burning, yet I know death is here
