Anathema Under A Veil (of Black Lace) Lyrics

Under A Veil (of Black Lace) Lyrics

With loving passion, oh your radiance
A serenade I cry
Your silk lined coffin the lachrymatory
To hold a mourner's tears

  Ethereal splendour
  Pale skin and down cast eyes
  Scent of paradise
  Like her, forever remains unknown

Through tear stained eyes
My view is growing weaker
Please help my grief be vanquished
Thy bed of roses, funereal drapery
Impale my on your thorns

  Celestial splendour
  Pale skin and down cast eyes
  Farewell autumn kisses
  Like her, forever remains unknown

I loved her ... but now she's gone
(It's so hard to face)
Overcoming ... tender reckoning

If I too depart the earth
I harmony to (our) heaven we'll elope

Heavenly grace with which to ease
the virgin's tears
