lyrics

The Velvet Darkness

She holds her mothers hand
In silence by her side she wakes
All her family has passed away
Orphaned by the roaming plaques

Does death forgot my name
How soon my end draws near
Can’t bear the wait much longer
My lust for life got sear

Footsteps echo
through the empty halls
A hand softly on her shoulders
Cold and lifeless
Yet never more welcome

Your bloodline ends right here
Succumb to the velvet darkness
Please take my guidance dear
Leave this cursed place forever

My dearest child
My nightly flower
Thy pale white skin
Reflects the moonlight

When she opened her eyes
And for the first time
She saw the beauty of the night
The scarlet sky
A glooming moon
Became the sun from now on

A kiss none more passionate
With bitterness it filled me
Poisoned was thy blood
Deprives a life I’ll never see

Transient to death and disease
Granted the gift of eternity
Her wandering soul
Longed for mortality

Your bloodline ends right here
Succumb to the velvet darkness
Please take my guidance dear
Leave this cursed place forever
