Cold Lie the Ashes

Stay with me; alone I fall apart Left behind; weeping in the dark Hope denied; crushed and set aside And here I lie; lifeless I subside And so it crumbled, with tears in her eyes Longing to free him, but struck from the sky Cold lie the ashes of love left to die Pain will rise, passion denied Slip away; the demons at my back Led astray; I fall into the black Eternal pain, for what I lost that day I will take, by fire and death reclaim

I still recall the moment we met, When the night was silent and cold, Gorgeous darkness bore the sweet pale flower, That in my arms I’d hold. And at once this Goddess of Crimson, Alight by the Ominous moon, Would seal with a kiss the fate of our lives, And hail the coming of my lovers, doom. As seasons went by the knowledge that I Was deceived by my brother and bride, Would bring forth great visions of nightmarish lands, Where foul truths had no place to hide. A dream of my flower, turned white then to red Visions of pasts so clear in my head, And as if been arranged, by some hellish way The Answer was laid before me. And so I set out for my answer, The poison to snuff out my bride, So darkness would come to her, Silent and Swift And extinguish the light in her Emerald eyes. But inside me I knew there was something, Amiss in this, unholy plan. So true was our bond, how could this be so, Was her soul, so certainly damned? My flower, my life, will you die with me tonight? Together, Forever, Forgive me, My bride. Kiss me once more my love, Let me hold you close, Don't be afraid my dear, The cold will stop your tears. Sleep in my arms my love, Forever with you I will be, Beneath the Crimson Moon, I swear my life to thee.
