Thorns of the carrion carmilla lyrics

Her eyes they burn, black as night

Like dreams draped in sylvan horizon

As shadows over the deep forest

She arrived in peaceful sleep..

Forgive me not, for I welcomed this deceit



I forged the joy, In the ruins of...



Among the broken stained glass I found life

The crumbling stones were as my youth

In ivy they laid as lilies upon the streams

For I saw the black swans as beauty

The hallowed view, the winding road of time

I dreams in gray, I dreamed alone...



Yet still her eyes spoke to me the sadness of

A life, of fear, of sorrow, the portrait of silence



And all I knew was sadness in the *pall* light of death

The funeral march passed as slowly as autumn days

The hymn was sung so bittersweet

so like winters tragic song

I shed somber tears of pride, yet she wore no pain



Yet still her eyes spoke to me the sadness of

A forgotten time of happiness that an never again be



Carmilla, I saw your face in the candle's flame

Carmilla, I felt your gaze and your languid embrace

Carmilla, I heard your laugh across the darkened walls

Carmilla, I knew your grin in the twilight of my death



Yet still her eyes spoke to me the sadness of

A weary heart for life and the scarlet tears we shed



The ruins of life lay within the tears

Yet still her eyes spoke to me the sadness of

For all she has loved, all she has known, At last must die...
