Lyrics
[Play by raymond, music by theatre of tragedy]
My eyes hold the eventide Albeit behind the eyes thou hast Thro' which I 'hold naught else A flame enshroudéd in its blackness; But the raven; Burning without the faintest breeze Sleep my dearest ones - Teach me, dearest, the reason wherefore Mind not the palling velvet darkness Thou by such angst mark'd art?!
Wherefore is here loneliness?; Infinite hollowness In which my thoughts echo To the shadows I whisper - With the shadows I waltz - Bear me; I am not the plague Altho' nightclad death ... mayhap?!
Dare not naysaying my grant; Dance no longer with the shadows Vanish with me abaft the unlight! - Dance no longer with the dead in the graveyard; O! the taste on thine lips; Dance with me the mephisto waltz A trickling deep red love - Wedlock 'twixt day and night - Everlasting lightheartédness - Offer me relief fro the sunrays A kiss for thee my dear
Ah! such delight I sense: Eternally and ne'erendingly; Savour the bitter grapes of life! A soulsister of thine I am
Let me openly greet thy kiss; The most loving and caring bites
Grant me thineself! I bore the woe in my heart My heart was shatter'd into its tithe As I depart embrace me Save yet are its chambers in flood And in paltry time will I re-awake - I love thee
