Anathema - Under A Veil (of Black Lace) lyrics

With loving pa**ion, oh your radiance A serenade I cry Your silk lined coffin the lachrymatory To hold a mourner's tears Ethereal splendour Pale skin and down cast eyes Scent of paradise Like her, forever remains unknown Through tear stained eyes My view is growing weaker Please help my grief be vanquished Thy bed of roses, funereal drapery Impale my on your thorns Celestial splendour Pale skin and down cast eyes Farewell autumn kisses Like her, forever remains unknown I loved her ... but now she's gone (It's so hard to face) Overcoming ... tender reckoning If I too depart the earth I harmony to (our) heaven we'll elope Heavenly grace with which to ease the virgin's tears
