Ligeia (Immortality through Crime)

Ligeia (Immortality through Crime)

She spread the wings of her languidness
through the nightshadows charming
The moon wept each birth of dawn
Her soft marbled skin
And red velvet lips
A dark nymph that angels should crown
In the depth of her eyes
Archaic secrets conspire
A misterious purpose
Shrouded in longing desires
Possessed by dread
She danced entranced with death
On your mourning beauty I bleed
Falling into the clutches
of an insane dream
Ligeia
Wherever thy image may be
no magic shall sever
thy music from thee

Silent she lies
And my kiss goes through the black shroud
Truth lurks beyond her veiled eyes
Come to me and embrace my sorrow
until the anguish of awakening

Thirsty for oblivion
I crept towards the bleak shores
of a second maid
But winds yell her name
Spreading the seed of my shame
That bites my feeble heart
beneath nocturnal rain
Death reverts to breath
in return for my sins
Flagelating the hopes
with a cruel tragedy
Madness entangles her soul
Stoned by disease
In return for my sins
Shining venomous tears into wine

Silent she lies
and my stare goes through the black shroud
Truth lurks beyond her veiled eyes
Come to me and embrace my sorrow
until the anguish of awakening

Eyelids tremble
Immortality through crime
Ligeia awakes from shadows arises
Frost burns to uncover
the truth that lurks beyond her eyes
