dead venus & seraina telli - the haunted palace lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
in the greenest of our valleys
by good angels tenanted
once a fair and stately palace
radiant palace reared its head
in the monarch thought’s dominion
it stood there
never seraph spread a pinion
over fabric half so fair

[chorus]
banners yellow, glorious, golden
on its roof did float and flow
this, all this, was in the olden time long ago

[verse 2]
and every gentle air that dallied
in that sweet day
along the ramparts plumed and pallid
a winged odor went away
wanderers in that happy valley
through two luminous windows, saw
spirits moving musically
to a lute’s well+tunèd law

[chorus]
round about a throne whеre, sitting
porphyrogene
in statе his glory well befitting
the ruler of the realm was seen
[verse 3]
and all with pearl and ruby glowing
was the fair palace door
through which came flowing, flowing, flowing
and sparkling evermore
a troop of echoes, whose sweet duty
was but to sing
in voices of surpassing beauty
the wit and wisdom of their king

[chorus]
but evil things, in robes of sorrow
assailed the monarch’s high estate
ah, let us mourn for never morrow
shall dawn upon him, desolate!

[verse 4]
and round about his home the glory
that blushed and bloomed
is but a dim+remembered story
of the old time entombed
and travellers, now, within that valley
through the red+litten windows see
vast forms that move fantastically
to a discordant melody
[outro]
while, like a ghastly rapid river
through the pale door
a hideous throng rushed out forever
and laugh, but smile never more
