Song For Lucretia Lyrics

Song For Lucretia lyrics

My tears sing your praise, in this house of sleep



For your kind voice has died with the harsh winds



(Though) The cold steals my scorn and pain of your death



I once saw forever in your eyes, yet now I see nothing...







My love I know the pain in you, I see the sickness sunrise



That dulls the light in you, I know you bear the burden



That bleeds us, that bleeds the tears, the tears of sorrow



Yet know the day shall die, and bring this pain to pass



For the memory of your life shall burn eternal







To rest the pain will come, and sleep forever more....







For I head your heart speak, the story of tears



And though the night must end, your sadness rained bright



The sullen colour of fear, the delicate shade of death



The hue of blood stained black,



in tombs of gray laced regret



An empyreal dance of silence, for when her soul burned



It darkened the red sky



For I die a thousand deaths, each day in absinthe's arms



In lucid dreams I see you, and hold you forever more



My love the day shall rise, with the tides of time



To wash upon our graves, and let us sleep forever more



And ever as I see the stars's fall, 



I see her azure eyes upon me



And the clouds cry in white



For she is gone







My heart (My heart has died)



In her (In her pale arms)



My bride (My bride is gone)



For she weeps no more



My love (My love I cry)



In streams (In streams of somber)



My soul (My soul is gone)



With her laugh it fades



My dear (My dear I plead)



To speak(To speak your tears)



My sweet (My sweet i'm gone)



Before the dawn arrives



My heart (My heart has died)



In her (In her pale arms)



My bride (My bride i'm gone)



For she weeps no more







All the happiness in my life went with her smile







And as the days wear on the roses fade in the dry sun



The flowers are dead here, they speak my wilted heart







I have seen the pain and glory of death



And for all I know and care I seek this silence



For this is a vestige of joy and sorrows deep



And all I help dear to me has gone forever from this world



May she rise to behold once more the tears I've shed



Believe in me, for your bitter tears can beckon my end



Believe in my words, for they wither dead flowers



May the blood I shed stain this bouquet red once more



For I die for you, I die for you
