Hollenthon Pallida Mors Lyrics

Pallida Mors Lyrics

Gleaming droplets douse the mead  

 bringing with its breeze the scent  

 Of weeping willows Babylon  

 bedding down for winter's chill  

  

 Like two young lovers intertwined  

 in the frivolity of life  

 Leaned one over with gallant whisper  

 betrothed domains of ceaseless time  

  

 Coaxing her to drop her veil  

 to shroud his cloak around her frailty  

 As two together become one  

 to ride the winds of no tomorrow  

  

 Coquette mortality enraptured  

 a beam of light adorned her lips  

 With head leaned back welcomed her captor  

 inhaled the sweet October mist  

  

 Caressing gently hallowed bodies  

 undulate for Dusk to see  

 Not yet kissed the waning siren  

 as Azrael waits patiently  

  

 For pendulum must swing away  

 from transient fear-uncertainty  

 Although he holds with timeless hands  

 the siren soul safe in his palms
