My Dying Bride - The Songless Bird Lyrics


 
  The very deepest of your wishes. Climb up
  high, take my hand. Tread carefully through
  these sickening angels. Look at your god.
  look at the way he stands. The uterine
  murderess dies herself. Let me show you all
  my pain. Sardonyx lays waste to your eyes
  and leaves you blind. Gone is the day. They
  that did feed, delicately. Feed on me. The call
  has come, from bird and beast. Insect and
  serpent, and all that lives in the sea. And
  cities of fire, rip through me. My life a
  widower sad. On your knees, smell your
  disease. If i live you will be sorry. I have a
  thousand forms. Uninjured by your tongue.
  I'm working to ensnare you. Couple your
  name with cruelty. The mother of dying
  children. My hatred is unnumbered. It rises in
  my breast. We've lived with our suffering.
  But now...?

My Dying Bride - The Snow in My Hands Lyrics


 
  I've seen them. so dark. Black. And yet fine.
  The flower they carry had once been mine.
  Get away from me, man of stories. Robe of lies.
  Stay far from me. I lie to myself (it's not
  hurting). I need help, but not from you or
  your father. No! Jesus Christ. Who's my
  saviour? Lose myself in gods death. No! I can't
  bear all this pain. I had watched the snow
  all day. Falling. It never lets up. All day
  falling. I lifted my voice and wept out loud,
  "So this is life?".

My Dying Bride - The Sexuality of Bereavement Lyrics


  In soothe I lend a gracious ear
  Your sobbing, somehow sexual
  Come to my bosom. The help I bring
  Is all my pleasure you lonely, dear thing
 
  Oh, cruel love, when held by you
  My sanity does fly
 
  You lie there mourning with looks of desire
  'T is beauty when you cry
   
   Drink my grievingg love
  Desire and wine go well
  Sleep, I'll watch over you
  Relief? Time will tell
 
  Secrecy fosters passion
  You stay untouched
  I know you are alone
  With peace I care much

My Dying Bride - The Return of the Beautiful Lyrics


  -The Silence-
 
  Oh beautiful earth
  For too long you have been silent
  Touch me once again
  The dark ground lies cold
  Et gelidus hoc voluntas firmamentum
 
  Hark Yes it is I
  The fever of mankind
  Urges whorish as ever
  I am the new Christ
  Silence yourself Nunquam
  You are powerless here
  Pityful one Pity me not
  Give back the sun
  Souls will mourn
  In this unending season of darkness
  Beware, ravaged one
  Mine is the might
 
  If you're feeble, turn away
  No dagger glints in my hand
  Technique is secret
  Liar
  She have herself to me
 
  -The Sadness-
 
  Please leave
  I think I'll close my eyes now
  The first sunshine was mine
  Look for me among the flowers
  Sleeping with the earth
  My Dying Bride
  The pity I fashion
  Through a rain of tears
 
  A tragic opus
  Immeasurable loss
  Tearful I rest
  Bask in my growing sorrow
 
  -The Lust-
  The females is such exquisite hell
  Lay my obscure hands upon you
  Macabre, erotica, passion
  Even in death, beauty is with you
 
  I extol you with loud praise
  You will grace my procession
  Why shouldn't I indulge
  In my own desires?
   
   Bare your breasts to slow kisses
 
  -The Battle-
  Away bastard dog Nunquam
  Down from your throne Nunquam
  A dagger glints in my hand Am I afraid?
  You'll perish alone
  Hark
 
  Pray to me
  Blasphemy
  Cry on me
  Die on me
  Let me out
  Let me out
  Let me out
  Let me out
 
  Suffer in your nakedness
  Before your dark art
  The filth and the stench of you I cry for you
  Is hell in itself
 
  Your reign is over now
  The sunlight will return
  To this once pertified earth
  Ego deicere tu pereant
 
  -The Return-
 
  Make me faint with with unending kisses
  My passions have all returned
  Warm my trembling hands
  We're scope for the tragedians
 
  I can see from your smile
  You're not here for the sunset

My Dying Bride - The Night He Died Lyrics


  I clasp her dying body to bloody mine
  The essential nature of her was so fine
  With torn garments she lays in my arms
 
  Womanly graces laid bare
  No dignity
  Cast aside like nothing at all
  Torn was she
  Shot down and strewn on wasteland
  In her prime
  Opened up for the world to see
  Oh, the love of mine
 
  No more tears for me now
  Lose all fears for me now
   
   Should I seek revenge or let it lie?
  Should I find the one and let him die?
  I wonder what you would do if it were you
 
  One black, furious midnight
  Through howling rain
  I descended right upon him
  My weeping prey
  Kissing him as his life ended
  In the rain
 
  Sweet was my revenge
  A life for life
  I feel no remorse
  The night he died
  I wonder what you would do if it was you?

My Dying Bride - The Light At The End Of The World Lyrics


 
  An isle, a bright shining isle stands forever, alone in the sea
  Of rock and of sand and grass and shale, the isle bereft of trees.
 
  - Small. A speck in the wide blue sea. 'Tis the last of all the land.
  A dweller upon our lonesome isle, the last, lonely man? -
 
  By the Gods he is there to never leave, to remain all his life.
  His punishment for evermore, to attend the eternal light.
 
  The lighthouse, tall and brilliant white, which stands at the end of the world.
  Protecting ships and sailors too, from rock they could be hurled
 
  Yet nothing comes and nothing goes 'sept the bright blue sea.
  Which stretches near and far away, 't is all our man can see.
 
  Though, one day, up high on rock, a bird did perch and cry.
  An albatross, he shot a glance, and wondered deeply, why?
 
  Could it be a watcher sent? A curse sent from the Gods,
  who sits and cries and stares at him, the life that they have robbed.
 
  Each year it comes to watch over him, the creature from above.
  Not a curse but a reminder of the woman that he loved.
 
  - Oh weary night, under stars, he'd lay and gaze.
  Up towards the moon and stars. The suns dying haze.
  Time and again, Orion's light filled our man with joy.
  Within the belt, he'd see his love, remembering her voice -
 
  The twinkle from the stars above bled peace into his heart
  As long as she looks down on him he knows they'll never part
 
  One day good, one day bad
  The madness, the heat, the sun,
  Out to sea, he spies upon land.
  His beloved Albion.
 
  Cliffs of white and trees of green
  Children run and play, "My home land"
  he cries and weeps, why so far away?
 
  Eyes sore and red.
  Filled with tears, he runs towards the sea.
  To risk his life, a worthy cause, for home he would be.
 
  Into the sea, deep and blue, the waters wash him clean.
  Awake. He screams. Cold with sweat. And Albion a dream.
 
  - Such is life upon the isle, of torment and woe.
  One day good. One day bad. And some days, even hope.
 
  The light at the end of the world burns bright for mile and mile
  Yet tends the man, its golden glow, in misery all the while?
 
  For fifty years he stands and waits, atop the light, alone.
  Looking down upon his isle the Gods have made his home -
 
  The watcher at the end of the world through misery does defile.
  Remembers back to that single night and allows a tiny smile.
 
  (His sacrifice was not so great, he insists upon the world.
  Again he would crime, Again he would pay, for one moment with the girl)
 
  Her hair, long and black it shone,
  The dark, beauty of her eyes,
  Olive skin and warm embrace, her memory never dies.
 
  'Twas years ago, he remembers clear the life they once did live.
  Endless love and lust for life, they promised each would give.
 
  Alas, such love and laughter too, was short as panting breath
  For one dark night, her soul was kissed by the shade of death.
 
  (Agony, like none before, was suffered by our man).
  who tends the light now burning bright on the very last of land.
 
  (Anger raged and misery too like nothing ever before).
  He cursed the Gods and man and life, and at his heart he tore.
 
  - A deity felt sympathy and threw our man a light
  'Your woman you may see again, for a single night. -
 
  But think hard and well young man, there is a price to pay:
  to tend the light at the end of the world is where you must stay.
 
  Away from man and liufe and love.
  Alone you will be. On a tiny isle.
  A bright shining isle in the middle of the sea.
 
  - "I'll tend the light, for one more night with the woman whom I love",
  screamed the man, with tearful eyes, to the deity above.
 
  And so it was that very night his lover did return.
  To his arms and to their bed, together they did turn.
  In deepest love and lust and passion entwined they did fall.
  Lost within each other's arms they danced (in lover's ball). -
 
  - Long was the night filled with love.
  For them the world was done.
  Awoke he did to brightest light,
  his woman and life had gone.
 
  To his feet he leapt.
  To the sea he looked.
  To the lighthouse on the stone.
  The price is paid and from now on
  he lives forever alone.
 
  Fifty years have passed since then and not a soul has he seen.
  but his woman lives with him still in every single dream.
 
  'Tis sad to hear how young love has died to know that,
  alone, someone has cried. But memories are ours to keep.
  To live them again, in our sleep. -

My Dying Bride - The Isis Script Lyrics


  You know they lied.
  To us they lied.
  Remember them?
  The final words.
  All these years.
  All these fears.
  Remember them?
  Ancient words.
 
  We'll take it from you when we like.
  You will suffer for nothing in your own home.
   
   Will you hlep me fight them off?
  They are killing me.
  Help me with my broken heart.
  The endless dark.
  Will you keep them far from me?
  Oh, the misery.
  I need a friend to lay upon.
  To be my sun.
  Oh, lord help me with my pain.
  I'm dead again.
 
  Beliefs have taken me to my end.
  Beliefs have taken me down again.
  The words I have followed, took me down again.
  The lies that I have read over again.
  Leaves are falling words from the earth.
  Spoken in silence. Never heard.

My Dying Bride - The Grief Of Age Lyrics


  The terror of being
  Left alone
  Never leaves me
  Unspeakables woes
  Gather me
  Up forever
  To your breast
  Morbid weather
 
  Watch this face
  Still a child
  Eyes red raw
  Aching and tired
  Issue your
  Delicate voice
  Sing through me
  Men are twice boys
   
   Childrens waking fears
  Of the supernatural
  Choke their simple thoughts
  And crush our simple minds
  I feel sometimes
  A hell within myself
 
  The terror of
  The piled earth
  Hiding me
  Will end this man forever

My Dying Bride - The Forever People Lyrics


  Read to me
  Make your words as pictures
  Reveal to me
  The forever people
 
  Names become more
  More than words
  In foreign tongue
  Universal doctrine
 
  Remember each one
  Named even this day
  We'll never forget
  Like it or not
   
   Their beloved is theirs
  And they are his
  Praise the Lord?
  Hail the King?
 
  This to me
  A figure of tragedy
  They are trivial
  They are forgettable
  A sombre tale
  Of mankinds hope
  Show me its truth
  And with joy
  I will follow

My Dying Bride - The Fever Sea Lyrics


  Over me. Cover me.
  Deep inside THE FEVER SEA.
 
  Lame from my mothers womb
  Born a cripple and sick. Under a red moon.
 
  My hands bleed. Feet red raw.
  I'm a broken man who dreamt the great war.
 
  The fear of life swallows me.
  Takes me through THE FEVER SEA.
  They crawl to me. Cry for me.
  I'll drown them all in THE FEVER SEA.
   
   The feast flows on forever.
  Devour me until never.
  Fill them all with horror.
  Let them sleep with terror.
  Who calls me now, then turns away?
  Who takes the night, and brings day?
 
  Lame from my fathers hand.
  Born to heal. Heal in every land.
  I will never get out.
  I even prayed unto his house.
 
  The cold feel of my skin.
  I try to lose but alwys win.
 
  Lame from my own hand.
  Believe me I've tried. Tried to make a stand.
