The Drifting Snow-Thorns of the Carrion

[00:20.750]The snow drifted down upon long barren hills [00:36.590]Painting the frozen land an ethereal white [00:53.147]Among the graves we danced slowly in the night [01:07.548]As fruitless trees swayed in the burning cold wind [01:24.085]Like the diamonds hidden along the earth that day [01:37.571]She was nothing more than a shade, a delicate shadow [01:55.445]I kissed her scarlet lips as if for the first time [02:11.460]I drank deep her essence warm and inviting [02:27.340]I gazed forever into her dark eyes [02:42.632]And I caressed her beautiful pale face [03:00.273]In the dark stillness she rested in thy loving arms [03:16.585]Though I wished her to stay I knew the dawn was waiting [03:32.900]For us the sun arrives without welcome [03:53.555]The sun arrives... without welcome... [04:08.015]I have seen the glory of the gray dawn [04:17.571]Awash in the black tears as the snow drifts down [04:24.837]These winter days of cold are the misery I die upon [04:39.761]For I have known the lovelorn life, of which I wear that broken crown of scorn and mockery [04:57.526]I have known truth in hate [05:09.648]Love wears thin our pride and bitter is the taste [05:24.902]Of life and death we dance for our souls to find [05:41.389]For time consumes the hearts of man [05:47.871]And beckons the call of death's sweet kiss [05:56.957]The days are soon departed as loved ones long ago [06:10.763]There is no joy in the sadness [06:33.509]There is no joy in the sadness [06:46.317]There is no joy in the sadness [07:02.580]There is no joy in the sadness [07:53.730]I had seen the sad farewell in her black eyes [08:07.820]Yet I held her closer still under the scarlet moonlight [08:23.657]I had seen the sad farewell through the gray clouds afar [08:38.856]As they stole away the night and out exquisite sorrow [08:54.756]In that eternal silent moment I knew the death of dreams [09:14.572]As she fell from thy arms I had seen the end of all hope [09:28.336]I have lost all [09:35.330]I have lost all [09:43.593]I have lost all [09:51.281]I have lost.. all..
