HYMN OF LAMENT LYRICS
"The Whorish Depths of Melancholia" (2007)
1. For Her
2. Mein Hass, Ihr Elend (Adoration of Hatred)
3. The Illusory, the Forgotten and the Remnants
4. She is the Raven
1. For Her
What they have taken, with you
Has brought me to disturb'd earth
Memorial in flesh
Stain'd the snow
E'er there
For you
E'er there
Reminding
Weep, wonder
Wilt, wander
And flow'd forth
From I, for you
Where now?
Deliver'd on tatter'd wings
E'er there
For you
E'er there
Remembering
2. Mein Hass, Ihr Elend (Adoration of Hatred)
3. The Illusory, the Forgotten and the Remnants
The lightning illuminates the room
The sound of rain against the window -
Against the background, like music
The fear overwhelms me
The storm comforts me
Will this survive our eyes' perception?
Does that which has no name exist?
A mutual adoration
Which at first sight could wither
An unintentional creation
In bondage of insecurity
Uncertainty may consume
If only in your arms could I lie
And flesh dispell the pain
Comfort found only in your words
And so I return
A future leaving carved in granite
It seems this place arose from its grave
What is my curse -
To wander or return?
Paths twist, but mislead?
So many questions unanswerable
As if wraith, faded and bleak
Surviving on that which I lack
Sepia toned and incorporeal
Pass through.
Past view.
Passed you.
No leaves come from withered limbs
But dying flowers bloom
Dessicated and cast aside
Leaves underfoot make a distant sound
The shadows seem to move
Spindly fingers claw the sky
Eternal threat of rain
Day indistinguishable from night
The moon ne'er seems to set
Ashtrays constantly filled
Everything else stays empty
Whisps of smoke on the wind
Carried away with whispers
Mourning life let slip away
4. She is the Raven
She is the dark in my eye
The wisp of smoke in the breeze
She is the raven
She is the cause and cure
She is the blood on my skin
She is my death
I breathe you when we kiss
And I fall
I gaze into your eyes
And I am nowhere
I caress your face
And I am blind
I hold you in my arms
And I die
She is the shadow
She is the raven
She is my grave
