sacred tears

• embracedin within albümününün 7. şarkısı...
  
  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*
