A Requiem of Velvet and Ash

Verse 1: Female Ethereal Vocals

The sun doth sink into the silver sea,

A withered rose upon the frosted plain.

Thy shadow falls and pulls the light from me,

We dance upon the glass of shattered pain.

Verse 2: Male Harsh Growls

The hollow earth doth hunger for thy breath,

A velvet shroud to bind thy weary bones.

I am the frost, the herald of thy death,

The silent monolith of mourning stones!

[[Chorus] Duet]

[Female] O, gentle slumber in the abyss deep,

[Male] Where angels weep and mortal terrors sleep!

[Female] A tragic sonnet writ in fading light,

[Male] Consumed forever by the endless night!

Verse 3: Female Ethereal Vocals

The weeping willow bows its weary head,

To kiss the stream where mortal sorrows bleed.

In twilight's grasp, the living join the dead,

A barren garden sown with bitter seed.

Verse 4: Male Harsh Growls

The iron gates of destiny are closed,

No dawn shall break the stillness of the tomb!

A ghostly garden, wintered and enclosed,

Where phantoms wander in the gathering gloom!

[[Chorus] Duet]

[Female] O, gentle slumber in the abyss deep,

[Male] Where angels weep and mortal terrors sleep!

[Female] A tragic sonnet writ in fading light,

[Male] Consumed forever by the endless night!

[[Outro] Female Ethereal Vocals]

Hush, my love, the tempest ceases sighing...

Beneath the weeping stars, we are but dying.
