Lyrics
Heartbreak And Seance
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Before the war, this grave darksome pall
Pressed upon the face of England
We were sovereign to nothing less
Than the map of our souls solicitous to reign
Together in a peace these wicked times disdain
Then empires saw much more to gain
The crown discounts our loss
Life cannot count the cost
These numbers fount like water
The dead, the dying, those on route to slaughter
Valentine sweet spine entwined
I am sorry that I left you here, in time
I will find, the path back from the other side
So keep a candle burning
In your heart that is my shrine
No memento mori
For he passed away
For faraway glory
So tear the pages
From this castaway story
Spilling tears
Fill her lachrymatory
She seeks to pierce the veil
Melancholia
Speaks the fiercest tale
Weeks are growing lonelier
Ever stonier regailed
Love's bond responding
Beyond the pale
The planchette is promissory
Purveyance of this seance
In obeisance to the spirits
Before their dismissory
The crown discounts our loss
Life cannot count the cost
These numbers fount like water
The dead, the dying, those on route to slaughter
Valentine sweet spine entwined
I am sorry that I left you here, in time
I will find, the path back from the other side
So please accept my kisses
Through the whispers of the ouija board
I suffer alone
So far from home
Watching you from a distance
A shadow's persistence to roam
No time to atone
You flower alone
Beautifully graven
You cut a black raven
Whose tower has flown
No memento mori
For he passed away
For faraway glory
So tear the pages
From this castaway story
Spilling tears
Fill her lachrymatory
She seeks to pierce the veil
Melancholia
Speaks the fiercest tale
Weeks are growing lonelier
Ever stonier regailed
Love's bond responding
Beyond the pale
The planchette is promissory
Purveyance of this seance
In obeisance to the spirits
Ghosts that haunt amiss, amie
Winter seems far colder
Without you by my shoulder now this year
Faith's blinding glare advanced to frost
Finds her there, entranced to cross
To breach death's porous border
And reach where breath affords no quarter
Helpless, I see her resolve harden
This is where it ends
How the wretchedness portends
The knife in her hand
On the stretch to the promised land
And this is how they found my light
Clutching tight that fateful telegram
