theatre of tragedy - a rose for the dead lyrics

albeit, daresay i, the lullaby of an everso dark sleep.
r: my precious,
likest thou what emergeth yon the distant?
the throbbing and breathing of life’s machinery!
lk: wanion it’s oh so d-mndest soul!
with the devil-instrument it we shall reap,
after the banquet obscur’d in our thole,
its blood so lovingly across our faces smear
lord of carnagel,
r: lady of carnagel,
lk: one funeral maketh many,
r: swarm god’s acres;
lk: two indeed more:
blest treat of delight –
r: give praise for the blood it bled,
grant a rose for the dead!
lk: grant a rose for the dead!
r: enraptur’d by the timeless beauty of the
shadowsphere,
we two abide the overlook’d time of the watch.
lk: make this cherish’d feast last
but until the new dawn ascendeth.
r: be still – harken the lure of night!
bale in each it’s d-mndest shadow,
cloth me in night, ne’er fell rue,
in it’s face, behold! naught save grue.
pray, ne’er come hither daylight!
velvet darkness, thee we ourselves bestow!
lk: wane to dust the wight,
misery it in velvet fright
