Memories Forever Unadorned Lyrics

Memories Forever Unadorned lyrics

O' Death come close thy eyes, and grant thee your eternal kiss



Your sweet embrace, is the bitter warmth I seek



O' Death come close thy hands, O'er this lifeless flower



Let the petals fall, upon memories now adorned







I shall lay her down upon the shores of our love



Awash in the pale light of the night's sky



The winds that carried her laugh and stole away her cries



Shall be with thee that morning that eternal dawn



The beauty was hers to enjoy yet not to give away



Like winter's sad dance upon rose's scant life



With frost brushed tears upon thy blood stained hands



I saw her soul drift away, never to hold again







I shall never forgive the gods for the misery they gave her to thee



For the pain of her death has destroyed the joy of life and love



I shall never again behold her grace nor her divinity upon thy eyes



Like grains of black sand falling through thy desperate grasp



I have mourned her grievous loss draped in a gray veil of deceit



Distant memories entwine thy hatred for the loneliness of life







I would give this dark gift away for one more moment in her arms



I would cast away this sullen husk to kiss her lips once more, once 



more...



I yearn to feel the sun's warmth once again upon thy face



I begat this daystar to steal away these piercing days







Only in the rapture of the sun shall I find thy happiness



The years wear thin the pride and there is no more joy to find in life







The poppied sleep is what I dream of these last hours



In meadows of ebony flowers swaying in the wind Life is there, in the 



raven sky



Bliss is found in the rolling clouds that mock thee (for they are free)



Bliss is found in the starlight that beckons thee (for life shines no more)



There is no fear, only adoration







Your rivers and your streams have grown



To fill the seas with mournful tears



Of thy heart and thy pain shall rain down



To fill the seas once more



Your gown and your crest of black



Is the tempest of which I seek, Bestow to thee the eyes to see



The glory of thy days first dawn







Thy ancient passion breeds the fear you lust in man



I have become unto thee what no man may dare



The fruit is wine, yet it is poison



The bough's are many yet they are weak and brittle



They are delicate ashes waiting for a gentle wind



The wine is mud, and the dreams are dead







Your rivers and your streams have grown



To fill the oceans deep with blood



Of thy breast doth scarlet rains drown



To fill the oceans once more







Grief is lost to these memories I have adorned



Ornate decorations of life forgotten in the march of time



They shall perish with the sun, fading



For this, I shall not fear you when your hallowed gaze is cast



I await our dance in the twilight with each lifeless breath



Erotic and passionate death, absolve thee







O' Death come close thy eyes and steal away the night



The flower has died and crumbled to dust



O'Death come close thy hands to this empty void



The blood has dried and the passion has gone







I shall follow the night's descent beyond the mountains glare



And await the day's arrival, slowly finding thee



To admire the beauty of the dawn is to greet the eternal sleep



Yet with open arms I concede this loss, yet gain



Farewell to life and love and farewell to the pain



Sorrow will not find thee again, I am beyond its' call



The mourning's calm is upon thee, the caress is warm like lust



There is no pain in the burning, yet I know death is here
