Anthropomancy - Of Fire and Marble Caskets lyrics

One candle after midnight, just before the dance begins A gloomy voice strangles the hope of the returning The soft breath in night releases the flames from life And all that remains is the yearning... Fate When the heart has escaped from the fire And the pa**ion cannot drown the thirst The marble will embrace you coldly Where conceit, and eyes have been first Hope: The marvel of their growing Fate: Where you should not have come Hope: Erupting joy inside my veins Fate: It now will be undone Hope: No! Remain, the laughter... Fate: Never, tears will flow...this will not be your time This grievance set on stage, the puppets in my arms... And so the curtains shall close Hope: But age has come with dawning... Fate: And also with it night Hope: Our doubt shall fill with warning... Fate: But never release the light Fate Despair has come to greet me And join us in this dance As marble will embrace you And hearts will feel her glance And so we dance... And so they dance, the grievance set on stage... Heart: I have drowned in pa**ion, and you shall be the answer, to my dreams... Fate So the heart sought release from the fire But the pa**ion could not drown the thirst Now marble will embrace you coldly Where conceit, and eyes have been first
