Song For Lucretia

My tears sing your praise, in this house of sleep

For your kind voice has died with the harsh winds

(Though) The cold steals my scorn and pain of your death

I once saw forever in your eyes, yet now I see nothing...

My love I know the pain in you, I see the sickness sunrise

That dulls the light in you, I know you bear the burden

That bleeds us, that bleeds the tears, the tears of sorrow

Yet know the day shall die, and bring this pain to pass

For the memory of your life shall burn eternal

To rest the pain will come, and sleep forever more....

For I head your heart speak, the story of tears

And though the night must end, your sadness rained bright

The sullen colour of fear, the delicate shade of death

The hue of blood stained black,

in tombs of gray laced regret

An empyreal dance of silence, for when her soul burned

It darkened the red sky

For I die a thousand deaths, each day in absinthe's arms

In lucid dreams I see you, and hold you forever more

My love the day shall rise, with the tides of time

To wash upon our graves, and let us sleep forever more

And ever as I see the stars's fall,

I see her azure eyes upon me

And the clouds cry in white

For she is gone

My heart (My heart has died)

In her (In her pale arms)

My bride (My bride is gone)

For she weeps no more

My love (My love I cry)

In streams (In streams of somber)

My soul (My soul is gone)

With her laugh it fades

My dear (My dear I plead)

To speak(To speak your tears)

My sweet (My sweet i'm gone)

Before the dawn arrives

My heart (My heart has died)

In her (In her pale arms)

My bride (My bride i'm gone)

For she weeps no more

All the happiness in my life went with her smile

And as the days wear on the roses fade in the dry sun

The flowers are dead here, they speak my wilted heart

I have seen the pain and glory of death

And for all I know and care I seek this silence

For this is a vestige of joy and sorrows deep

And all I help dear to me has gone forever from this world

May she rise to behold once more the tears I've shed

Believe in me, for your bitter tears can beckon my end

Believe in my words, for they wither dead flowers

May the blood I shed stain this bouquet red once more

For I die for you, I die for you
