Thorns of Ivy

Sered Beauty´s Memoria

Thorns of Ivy


livid princess, what sweet caress 
is it to perceive thy voice 
a vivid pain fills my heart 
and it tears the raging void apart 

what once shattered now ordains 
but still the wounds reveal their warm blood 
a sinister tale like a crying gale 
unfolds behind this flickering opaque veil 

once upon desire.. 
I had known thee my dear 
my incomparable doleful queen 
drowned in tearfilled rivers 
calm and rigid it seemed 
devoted to the fulgent crystal streams of sin 
I thought thee lost forever succumbed to deaths guile 

but my burning desperate yearning 
granted thee a last returning 
the shrouds left back on the funeral stack 
we paced through the wide open lichgate 

and as the bell chimed from the steeple 
silhouettes both free and feeble 
danced through the wind winged by absynth 
with childlike temper and yet pulsating life 

did we betray what once was divine? 
gnarly trees hum melodies of lurid bedewed phantasies 
I will embrace thee until the dawn 
for the time we had was just a loan 
and inside her heart turned into stone 

with every single heartbeat morn draws near 
but this sunset gives no warmth 
I behold my hands with wistfulness 
they couldn´t hold thee close enough 

forgive me my beloveth heart 
I tried and I have failed 
so you leave me again burnt out and hollow 
with a life I won´t sustain 

it ends dreary, now that my fairy 
fades away so weak and bleary 
a vivid pain fills my soul 
and no hope there is to retard this fall 

ere thy presence turns to evanesence 
kiss me deep just one last time 
and expose thy dearest wish 
I will never forget thee for we were once one 

then she smiled with a glance 
which broke my will to live instantly 
with eyes eternal sad and these lips 
I tasted a thousand times 
"will you forever be just mine?" 
she whispered... 
"and will you do whatever it takes?" 

Anything my bride 
I am with thee when it ends tonight.. 
And as the morn claimed the velvet sky 
I kissed her softly 
..goodbye..
