Dark Embrace Lyrics

Dark Embrace lyrics

[Poetry : Arnault de Stael]



[Music : Romarik d'Arvycendres]







The frozen crypt is silent ...



As only a grave can be



Endless I live in vain



Roused from my funeral sleep







My untbriven vault is wide



Under the cold winterly sky



Drawn from the eternal dream



I already learn for death







Another wine flushes my veins



And drives me out my grave



My swaddling clothes are of black silk



And my cradle is made of stone







The gothic cemetery crypt



Kisses the scarlet lips of life



From thence I came hither again



For a silhouette through the unlight...



...From beyond the grave







La crypte froide est silencieuse



Comme seule peut l'etre une tombe



Sans fin j'existe en vain



Profanant mon sommeil funèbre







Mon triste caveau s'ouvre à la vie



Sous un ciel d'hiver glacial



Arraché aux reves éternels



J'aspirais déjà à la mort







Clad with a dress of mourning



A leaden beauty arose



Her silken hair lightly floating



She came beside my bed of stone







In a summoning charm



Made of divine progeny



She kissed me with saddened eyes



-"Follow me !" - I follow thee







You shall dwell here eternally



Between the dead and the living







To forever my funeral bride
