Альбом My Dying Bride

The destroying genius of idols
will shroud the world with utter lies
dance the cobbles, his abode named Dis
portraits have spoken their master's distress
icons with kisses, tell me who have seen these
falling Enochian tapestries?
depict the prince of fallen virtues
in almost poetic rhapsody
masturbate to the sound of the knell
the pathetic stench of dying children
perhaps our fall is certain
limbs entwined in absolute contortion
please put off your veil, your heart is blameless
and I shudder for knowing it

A hot May makes a fat churchyard
and Lychfowel breed in chaotic frenzy
her cry was the saddest of all earth's sounds
trauma bites hard the hearts of kin
swept away by a moment's sadness
they say rage is a brief madness
Lyricsby way of the beloved's farewell
give back to nature what we first did take
and monuments would slowly fill
the agendas of kings and queens
in silence our faces bleed
the holy voice torn away by the gale
make yourself all honey
and the flies will devour you

Love is a game where both players cheat
gone is the tale of Hero and Leander
women are angels yet wedlock's the devil

See the light and feel my warm desire, run
through my veins like the evening sun. It
will live but no eyes will see it. I'll bless your
name before I die. No person in everything can
shine, yet shine you did, for the world to see.
All a man hath will he give for life? For life
that's lost bleeds all over me. I'd fallen before
but it never hurt like this. Don't leave me here
to crawl through the mire. I'm without fault
before the throne of god. Take from me the
crown of sympathy. What do you think you'll
see? What do you think there will be? Sit down!
Did you see the sun? What will we become?
Great ones? The mouths that dare not speak his
name, behold them, raised, complete and fine.
The battle for our lives is oh, so brief. Take my
hand and please walk with me. When I was
young the sun did burn my face. I let its love
and warmth wash over me. The melting voice of
many, in the hush of night. Whispering tongues
can poison my honest truth. Come dress me
with your body, and comfort me. I dreamt of a
dead child in my sleep. I wear a terrible
mark in my head. my clean, white bed. It calls
to me. I must lie down. and I want you to lay
with me, in sympathy. No sad "adieus" on a
balcony. For one last time, just walk with me.
At the beautiful gate of the temple, we must
be saved. For deadened, icy pain, covers all the
earth.

The terror of being left alone, never leaves me, unspeakable woes
gather me up forever to your breast, morbid weather
watch this face, still a child, eyes red raw, aching and tired
issue your delicate voice, sing through me, men are twice boys

Children's waking fears of the supernatural
choke their simple thoughts and crush our simple minds
I feel sometimes a hell within myself

The terror of the piled earth hiding me, will end this man forever

Open me
And drink up my scarlet
Kiss me deep
Kiss me deep and love me forever more
Bloody love
Bloody love inside of you
Swallow me
Thank God, there's nothing I can do

Come with me my friend, come and see the end
And let me swallow up your pain
Leave the village lights, step into the night
Open your mouth to my bloody rain
And at your second birth, we will slay the earth
And stalk mankind 'til Heaven burns
Just lay down for me, naked for me to see
It's just one kiss, that's all I need

Take me down
Down to the bloody shore
Dig me deep, dig me deep
And leave me forever more
Lay me down
Down with all of them
And forget me
Like you forgot the rest of them

Falling, drowning, deeper and forever
choking, sinking, deeper into this ocean
screaming, crying for someone to save me
reaching, hoping, calling to no-one

My only sin was to kill a man, deep was my pain
but I'd do the same again, beat it out, out of me
cut me up and watch me bleed, strike me down
cast me out, throw me into the ocean's mouth
my only prayer was to a god who I don't believe
but all the same, I'm on my knees, beat it out, out of me
cut me up and watch me bleed, strike me down
cast me out, throw me into the devil's mouth

Bleeding, weeping, calling to no-one
pleading, almighty, why can't you hear me?
my only sin was to kill a man, deep was my pain
but I'd do the same again, beat it out, out of me
cut me up and watch me bleed, strike me down
cast me out, throw me into my own mouth

Take me away to a better place, far from anyone
by myself and leave a gun, beat it out, out of me
cut me up and watch me bleed, strike me down
cast me out, throw me into my saviour's mouth

I will be here for you
All I want is you
When I see your face
All the Angels are shamed

Lay with me beauty
Feel me close to you
Take my hand to you
Touch you softly. Your warm skin

Cover me with you
Over me under you
Pull me in to you
As one we lay entwined

All I ever wanted
I have, I need never wish again
You are heaven sent

[Нет текста]

Come to me
Comfort me
Take my hand

In your arms
In your eyes
I will be
Forever yours
Bring me down
To your bed
To your dreams

Take my life
Take everything
Through those meadows
Of heaven
Where we ran forevermore
I wish, oh, how I wish again
With you. Oh, to be with you

So lay me down
Close to you
Hold me now my lover
I kiss your tears
My sweet one
And kiss again, my love

You can't expect to see him and survive
You'll swallow his tongue of thorns
His mouth, dripping with flies
In his glorious kingdom of fire
But I believe he wept
I will make them all lie down
Down where hope lies dying
With lust, you're kicking mankind to death
We live and die without hope
You tramp us down in a river of death
As I stand here now, my heart is black
I don't want to die a lonely man
This is a weary hour
This is a weary hour
