like a perpetual funeral

Singer: my dying bride

i reach for my shadow in horror

envy eats but its own cold heart

some friends

the few i have left

set sail out of the frame i'm in

he begins to die

that loses his desires

all are not merry that dance here lightly

fear follows those who live by the sword and fire

my heart was my weapon

and the death of me

i saw the evening anew

all lean and red of hue

it's a lonely ocean out there

watched from my shore of despair

so unto the sea my grief set sail

in disbelief

fevers and time burn away

nothing is allowed to stay

there is nothing new underneath the sun

the moon with its long arms

reaches into the sea

my eyes were towers high

in my heaven

and from my body drew a cold breath and final clue

the sun made clear its thoughts

it was never coming through

i saw the evening anew

all lean and red of hue

it's a lonely ocean out there

watched from my shore of despair

so unto the sea my grief set sail

in disbelief

fevers and time burn away

nothing is allowed to stay
