As Black As A Midnight Heart

Wings of angels, shaded the sky
 And stained the sunset with ebony stars
 Sorrow met madness, and daggers consumed
 Ashes of beauty, forlorn and defiled
 Behowling the purity of death
 The vicious temptress divine
 "...Forever have I searched for thee, my nocturnal bride
 Through centuries I have waited, but now thou art mine
 I know that nothing is forever, and that dawn will do us apart
 I shed no tears or sorrow, I have kept thy midnight heart..."
 Passion and paleness, oaths of past
 Pleasures of urging pain and fear
 Shrouded darkness, the wicked enthrones
 The priestess of timeless lust arose
 Laid to rest, but slumbers not
 Deceived by her fearless dreams
 I buried thee
 My mistress nocturne
 I drank thy bitter wine,
 And tasted thy world bizarre
 Thee brought me madness,
 That I am sure
 But sands of time came closer,
 Farewell my bride, farewell...
 "...Forever have I searched for thee, my nocturnal bride
 Through centuries I have waited, but now thou art mine
 I know that nothing is forever, and that dawn will do us apart
 I shed no tears or sorrow, I have kept thy midnight heart..."
 Pale as moonlight are the lilies on thy grave,
 Never fading, just like thee...
 Thou art with me, we share the same dream,
 Thy blackened treasure, now belongs to me...
 "...Forever have I searched for thee, my nocturnal bride
 Through centuries I have waited, but now thou art mine
 (Even though) I know that nothing is forever, and that dawn will
 do us apart
 I shed no tears or sorrow, I have kept thy midnight heart..."
