A Rose For The Dead |
| My precious |
| Likest thou what emergeth yon the distant? |
| The throbbing and breathing of life’s machinery! |
| -- wanion its oh so damndest 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 carnage |
| Lady of carnage |
| -- one funeral maketh many |
| Swarm god’s acres; |
| -- two indeed more: |
| -- blest treat of delight — |
| Give praise for the blood it bled |
| Grant a rose for the dead! |
| -- grant a rose for the dead! |
| Enraptur’d by the timeless beauty of the |
| Shadowsphere |
| We two abide the overlook’d time of the watch |
| -- make this cherish’d feast last |
| -- but until the new dawn ascendeth |
| Be still — harken the lure of night! |
| Bale in each its damndest shadow |
| Cloth me in night, ne’er fell rue |
| In its face, behold! |
| naught save grue |
| Pray, ne’er come hither daylight! |
| -- wane to dust the wight |
| Velvet darkness, thee we ourselves bestow! |
| -- misery it in velvet fright |
