Letra As The Shadows Dance de Theatre Of Tragedy original
Play by Raymond, Music by Theatre of Tragedy> My eyes hold the eventide, Albeit behind the eyes thou hast Thro' which I 'hold naught else A flame enshroudéd in it's blackness; But the raven; Burning without the faintest breeze. Sleep my dearest ones - Teach me, dearest, the reason wherefore Mind not the palling velvet darkness Thou by such angst mark'd art?! Wherefore is here loneliness?; Infinite hollowness In which my thoughts echo, To the shadows i whisper - With the shadows i waltz - Bear me; i am not the plague, Altho' nightclad death ... mayhap?! Dare not naysaying my grant; Dance no longer with the shadows, Vanish with me abaft the unlight! - Dance no longer with the dead in the graveyard; O! the taste on thine lips; Dance with me the mephisto waltz. A trickling deep red love - Wedlock 'twixt day and night - Everlasting lightheartédness - Offer me relief fro the sunrays. A kiss for thee my dear. Ah! such delight i sense: Eternally and ne'erendingly; Savour the bitter grapes of life! A soulsister of thine i am. Let me openly greet thy kiss; The most loving and caring bites. Grant me thineself!, I bore the woe in my heart, My heart was shatter'd into it's tithe, As i depart embrace me, Save yet are it's chambers in flood. And in paltry time will i re-awake - I love thee.
