Bring Forth Ye Shadow lyrics
Song information
Artist: Theatre Of Tragedy Album: Velvet Darkness They Fear
Lyrics
Time is an abyss - Profound as a thousand nights; I sojourn my haste, I make respites For what availeith this eager pace? One step more naught to face Save the heirloom fatal kiss
I rave no more 'gainst time or fate For lo! my own shall ne'er come to me Yet! - who doth my future narrate? Dim the lights - I cannot see! Bring forth ye shadow! - With whom danceth thou?
Time hath stopp'd - Yet for others ne'er halteth; For me the pages of life do not turn Lo! - on the funeral pyre they burn The oh so eathing velvet darkness they fear - Heed! - wherefore delve a burrow When in my arms "o! come here"? - I say, elsewhither is naught but sorrow!
For what deemest thou so dear thy blood When through my veins it could flood? - Bide to merry - make me unaptly; And hence grant me the fell gift The gift of passing on the dark trick 'Tis such a brazen act of erotic; Trifle for thee, yet for me grandly thrift O! such an innocence depriv'd so hastily -
Alas, for what deemest thou so dear thy blood When through my veins it will flood?
