Tomb of Ligeia

It was all a distant memory, of how this tragedy came to be
Looking back to what we had
When my soul had life in our romance
Then you went and disappeared
Gone without a single tear
It was then that I clearly knew
My love was all I had left of you
But that's where I must reject
The notion of love had ceased to last
I will have you, forever as mine
I shall claim you, well after life
As mine only, my eternal bride
We shall lay together for the rest of time

Luring you down underground to the catacombs
Descending lower, descending faster
Take a chance with the glass I've poured you
Injecting poison, surging venom
Under moonlight, I lay you to rest
Open the casket, lower the bearings
Opened eyes, come alive for the burial
Encased forever, no one can have you

Buried down we lie
Hand in hand you cry
Together now we die
I will have you

Buried down we lie
Hand in hand you cry
Together now we die
Timeless bride of mine

All I've done and would do just to have you
The dream is over, our love is shattered
To be apart? Never again, not even in death
Embraced together, now and forever
Vitals fading as you're drowning with me
Hearts growing colder, blood flowing slower
Heavens and the pit open wide, embracing us
She said, "I'll rise to heaven", "You'll burn in hell"

Buried down we lie
Hand in hand you cry
Rising to the sky
I've been held back

Buried down we lie
Hand in hand you cry
Rising to the sky
Hell before my eyes.

A tombstone and a kiss
To end this bitterness
A tear splitting the moonlight
A beauty with the palest flesh
Settled into this decrepit tomb
For eternity I rest
Holding on to what I deem most precious

One last time goodbye
One last time goodbye

One last time goodbye
Timeless bride of mine
