Planctus

lyrics

In the hall of mourning
Gathered around your ghastly shrine
Kneeling in front of your vain hands
Drinking your poisoned wine

All their faces on me
Distant, cold, befittingly quell
But my fingers twist the knife
Would they mourn you as well?

Death knells, the orchestra plays
A dirge for all broken dreams
The way you dance, leering at me
Blade's flashed, your scream...

Now their contempt for me...
As I stabbed the sorrow's queen
They cannot see beside you
Mourning dies, mourned by thee

I will never love you
I will never be with you
I will never mourn you
I will continue to kill you

Your empty eyes now blacken
Your vile stare dispels
Your body on a catafalque
Shall sleep exposed in Hell

---

As lady death emerges
With flowers in my pockets
I slowly raise the torn veil
Her eyes are bleeding sockets

O, death, you fragile maiden
How lonely thou must art
When everything you touch dies
Come, touch my marble heart

I sense your cold, pale fingers
Still milder than rejection
You cannot kill what's withered
We match our desolation

You stop my tears from falling
I shalt become your dream
Just lay upon my bleeding
Our blood will form one stream
