Midwintertears Shadowcast upon my heart endark... thy bleak midwintertears condemned to mourn in silence The pale moonrise in her eyes Serene... like a frozen stream the flowing beauty in thy tears I crave for thee my once beloved Beyond... the veils of darkness lost where now thy roses wrapped in dusk Dark enchantress I suffer thy fullmoonnights Trespass my undesired darkness Tears... flowing through thy dreams Dark enchantress the seventh fullmoon rise I drown in dusk and dark rivers Summon all my dreams like roses on your epigraph written in my tears thy sorrow and my bleeding heart She comes so serene my fallen beauty crowned with leaves Take me to thy dream Thy candle will forever burn in me... 3. Pale Enchantress Dark... thou embrace my bleeding heart My dreams... uniting our tearful eyes... enchanting At night... I kiss the serpent in thy tears For years... thy sorrow I've mourned Harken my moonchilds cry yearning for another night Mourning my once beloved mezmorized and ravendark My pale enchantress of the night at last my candle's burning down The wintermoon is shining bleak for thee my enchantress Enchanting all my dreams a beauty and her flood of tears Nightfall embrace my heart mezmerized and ravendark My pale enchantress of the night I desire thee Fearful I walk with thee... through dusk Through winds of loss... Her beauty and her flood embrace my bleeding heart Tearful I fall with thee... at last Lead me there... to where thy shadows cast They dance in velvet darkness lost Rise... bleak winterfullmoon Rise... In life... I kissed the serpent in thy tears For years... thy sorrow I mourned... 4. Cease To Exist A velvet breath of life enchants the garden of delight Her voice within these winds The flower so serene Her cold and silent wail Descend like midsummer rain Bury my heart in thine A taste of heavens wine Beneath a fullmoon bright she comes with gowns flowing wide With bloodlike lips of faun Enchanting eyes of dawn Towards the moon she gaze A lonely tear runs down her face For all she lost in life buried so deep inside Leaves... dance in her precious eden where she lies deep Her loss in life engraved in dusk and angeltears Enlight in night within me Lead me there where my heart lies buried beneath the seven seas
