The Melancholy Spirit-Agalloch

[00:00.711]The Melancholy Spirit -Agalloch [05:22.761]It was in this haunted place under a moonless cloak of ebony [05:31.61]I was drawn to the glow of a young spiritess weeping in the woods [05:54.701]The blackest ravens and ice-veiled boughs [05:59.941]Have spoken of you goddess of these bleak woods [06:04.121]I yearn for your embrace spiritess of the melancholia [06:12.51]Show me again your sweet face [06:16.481]Enchant me with your rich cinder burnt ether [06:20.601]Lure me into your arms and bless unto me eternal death [07:25.440]She had spoken to the dawn [07:31.550]Her words wisped in tongues of the wind [07:50.350]And then silence [07:54.160]Pale clouds betrothed the dawn [07:58.590]Black rain fell [08:02.590]The birds wore masks [08:06.510]The haunting stain of her woe [08:10.630]Had burned itself into the oak [08:14.480]Night had gone [08:18.160]Bereaved I was torn for her [08:22.460]One last time I witnessed her beauty in the distance [08:29.690]The arms of the trees tore at her morbid gown swaying in the loathsome winter [08:38.630]Breeze [08:39.320]She faded before my eyes [08:43.370]Since that day a thousand veiled birds have taken flight [08:47.740]And the melancholy rain still pours forever on
