[00:05.837]Thy love, I gather the thorns for thee [00:28.580]To speak the scars, sad many.... they are [01:19.326]They bleed their palms across thy face [01:24.513]They are the tears I wish to shed [01:30.297]Yet only tears of red shall fall [01:42.496]The scent of dried flowers, rest upon the palls [01:52.758]As night graces rose garlands black [02:02.412]For bleak laurels of dead lilies and thorns [02:11.422]Hang so silently still upon walls draped in ornate death [02:20.346]Wailing in sighs deep and forlorn [02:29.010]In mourning I wish only to corrupt the silence [02:37.617]Cold marble reflections of dreams lucid in sorrow [02:46.098]A vision of beauty that forever sleeps [02:53.422]I am the one who regrets [02:57.941]Her loss, her love, the wasted years [03:02.244]For time withers away her ghost [03:06.597]And I live only to collect her tears [03:11.294]To lament the memory of her laugh [03:15.097]For her breath is still held close to thee [03:19.141]Yet she sleeps so still in thy arms [03:23.472]Yet thy kiss falls harsh on her lips [03:43.548]I am nothing yet I am, I am everything yet still I yearn [04:22.680]Let these bleak thorn laurels honor the vast sorrow I have endured [05:13.043]The sad cypress sings of black star lit nights [05:22.210]Caressed by the crescent moon's blood red hue [05:31.183]Let the petals fall upon this sullen path [05:39.145]For nature's sweet kiss knows your song of tragedy
