My Dying Bride

"Thy Raven Wings"

In fiery flight we would leave
this hall
The Holy house, House of
God will fall
To death they go with music
and song
But our dread simply must
go on

I feel our need to feed goes on
For our greed, watch them
bleeding on
This hour's ours, with open
arms go on

Crowned with thorns and pain
was he
Raised our hands and slew
him utterly
Crimson waves of the tears
of war
This is what we were put
here for

Eden falls, Mercy for life
I hear their calls
Stood and watched them die
Heaven crawls. Wings burn
on high
Beauty falls. Beg unto me
why?

Fold thy raven wings
'Tis our duty, darkness brings
If this day be our last
Our victims await
For they are vast

In fiery death we will crawl
away
Content we lived for each and
every day
Black and burned with a
stench of decay.

"I Cannot Be Loved"

Lover put a knife in my hand
Lay down right there, that's
my command
Do as i say in this blood play
Claw at my skin, I'll let you
win
Caress your flesh. Burns like
fire
Rosey, sweet breath, and your
desire

Your skin is all I want to take
from you
Your mind is naught unto me,
I'll leave behind

Bound together
The darkest embrace
Bound forever
We will be chaste

I paw at you golden flesh
Golden breast
I sail on your, on your sea
Of ecstasy.

God, I want you. Just be mine
Because you haunt me all the
time

Your pain, it talks to me
Your pain, it really talks to me

Your pain, it talks to me and I
heed it well
My hands, your neck, they
greet each well in a loving hell
This hold we have can't last
because it's killing me
Farewell my love. Please walk
away and take away my pain

"Under Your Wings And Into Your Arms"

I need to see a sign
Will you take me away?
They come. They go. Will you stay here?
I need to see a sign
You need me
Who wants more?
I need him
Find my way
Be there now
Feel them
Be my call
I will be the one
I will lose the fight
You sing the songs
Of one hundred nights
Bring them to me
Because I know I'm right and I will
Take them all away
Never to be seen again
I'll take them to the sea
Leave it all to me because I'm
Feverish, develish and irrelevant
You need me
I want you
I need, I need, I need
Are you there with me
Be there now
Feel me now
All my world

"The Blood, The Wine, The Roses"

Everyone knows her.
knows her name.
Deadly Siren, that's her
game
They want to be near
her. Playing her game
Get to know her. What's
her name?
She strides amoung us
with a burning fire. Her
victims endless, piling
higher
And I run along with
them, the heaving mass,
fighting anyone to get
past

I want her fire, her
burning fire, her dark
caress, her red hot kiss
I want desire, her
roaring fire, from milk
white breast to raven
tress
I want her nights,
morning light, her
endless days, amazing
grace

I'm on her trail every
single day
Ahead, she glides, I
stumble blindly in her
wake

I witnessed lovers torn
by her. Teary maidens
killing her
You'll never be lovers
when she's in town
because in her eyes, we
all drown
Broken-hearted, we leap
to God, and die like
lovers everyone forgot

I tremble when she
passes by. Lord make
her mine or let me die
She looked at me. Her
eyes! her eyes!
They drew me in. Her
sin! Her lies!

I see my final night
Glory, what a sight!
The blood, the wine, the
roses
And me all snowy white

Her hands on me, it's
ecstasy. It's Heavenly, it's
God i see
I risk a kiss. One kiss
One kiss!
I knew from then my life
had died

Hold me now my father
Now my days are done
I would do it all again
Because she was the one

Torment me you fucking
bastard!
I'll seek you once i rise
Look behind. I will
slay your worthless
blackend soul.

"The Night He Died"

Clasp her dying body to bloody mine
The essential nature of her was so fine
With torn garments she lays in my arms

Womanly graces laid bare
No dignity
Cast aside like nothing at all
Torn was she
Shot down and strewn on wasteland
In her prime
Opened up for the world to see
Oh, the love of mine

No more tears for me now
Lose all fears for me now

Should I seek revenge
or let it lie?
Should I find the one
and let him die?
I wonder what you would do
if it were you

One black, furious midnight
Through howling rain
I descended right upon him
My weeping prey
Kissing him as his life ended
In the rain

Sweet was my revenge
A life for life
I feel no remorse
The night he died
I wonder what you would do
if it was you?
