Ligeia (Immortality through Crime) She spread the wings of her languidness Through the nightshadows charming The moon wept each birth of dawn Her soft marbled skin And red velvet lips A dark nymph that angels should crown In the depth of her eyes Archaic secrets conspire A misterious purpose Shrouded in longing desires Possessed by dread She danced entranced with d**h On your mourning beauty I bleed Falling into the clutches Of an insane dream Ligeia Wherever thy image may be No magic shall sever Thy music from thee Silent she lies And my kiss goes through the black shroud Truth lurks beyond her veiled eyes Come to me and embrace my sorrow Until the anguish of awakening Thirsty for oblivion I crept towards the bleak shores Of a second maid But winds yell her name Spreading the seed of my shame That bites my feeble heart Beneath nocturnal rain d**h reverts to breath In return for my sins Flagelating the hopes With a cruel tragedy Madness entangles her soul Stoned by disease In return for my sins Shining venomous tears into wine Silent she lies And my stare goes through the black shroud Truth lurks beyond her veiled eyes Come to me and embrace my sorrow Until the anguish of awakening Eyelids tremble Immortality through crime Ligeia awakes from shadows arises Frost burns to uncover The truth that lurks beyond her eyes
