Thorns Of The Carrion - Memories Forever Unadorned lyrics

O' d**h come close thy eyes, and grant thee your eternal kiss Your sweet embrace, is the bitter warmth I seek O' d**h 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 d**h 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 pa**ion 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 pa**ionate d**h, absolve thee O' d**h come close thy eyes and steal away the night The flower has died and crumbled to dust O'd**h come close thy hands to this empty void The blood has dried and the pa**ion 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 d**h is here
