Embraced - Sacred Tears lyrics

Hear the raven calling the final hour has struck The blackclothed bride facing destiny without fear Far at last she is to begin her own requiem The utter ceremony of the last ones Forever trapped in the grey mist of misery Fragmenst of the past flashing before her eyes As she enters the century gates The old candles are burning in the vault The smell of dying flowers and rotten flesh Surrounds her has she finds her way among the coffins In the amber light of the candlelight She sees the silhoutte of the altar of a thousand roses Fallen beyond all grace deeper and deeper The sound of her own blood dripping Like sacred tears from a bleeding rose An amorous requiem where she cries her sacred tears Until she reaches the other side Caressed by the morning wind as it gently touches And undresses her shivering body With gloomy eyes she invokes the other side And wraps her existence in oblivion The wine in her veins has become sour But still it hurts for her to drain her heart And sacrifise the most sacred tears of them all A scream of pain and pleasure makes her body turn into colvulsions As the cold steel of the blade cuts deep into her flesh Fallen beyond all grace... Hear the raven calling, the final hour has struck For on the altar of a thousand roses Lies the dying bride Awaiting the demons arrival In the sign of the pentagram Invoking the deamons to rise And take her to the other side As the night falls the ritual ends her heart is now empty she is almost asleep her sacred tears are forever lost The wind has stopped mourning And the raven is gone Her soul is no longer condemned To everlasting pain Fallen beyond all grace... In the amber light of the candlelight The ground is turning red her naked body now lies pale on the altar And as she closes her eyes She sighs and falls asleep
