a doomed lover

Singer: my dying bride

your unbreathing sleep. our dreamless bed

is mine to keep. in my dark eyes and frozen arms

nothing lives 'cept my harm. now you're worn with years. years and sorrows. like saint with arrows. once again i see an end

i watch it die with a humble sigh. calm these tide of sorrow. he leads me away and i follow. sighs and then slumbers

wakes and sighs again. opens up the eyes

sees the ghost again. our dying love

it prays in vain to live

and pleads for help

i simply cannot give. my devoted love takes tiny backward

steps away. loneliness aplenty spread before me.
