[hometext] => Lyrics to a Black Metal Song I'm writing
[bodytext] => Though adorned by twilight hours In the guise of count Lestat, I walk the cold and lonely road Where a lover there is not. But pre this privy story told By fountain pen on a parchment scroll Lovers lined up like a paramount toll Mortal as the seasons. Thrice on high the gardens grew A candle lit for the peace I knew. And thrice infernal fires spread Through fecund brush to instill the dread. The candle fell on each one’s prime; The wicker doused in the tides of time. Like oil cast on a fervent flame, Mortality is who we blame! Mortality is who we blame. A dirge is sang, a funeral song In the ebon rain, but before long The sun is set, the moon doth rise A Jeweled gaze from her dark eyes. Chrysanthemums marked the stalwart glance To merit this march, this twilight dance Behavior known to only those Who fall to beauty’s intrepid trance Sporting leaves in the midnight’s sway I looked upon her the dusk that day Though caught amidst eternal stride She walked straight into the engulfing tide Without a word or a tender call She made for the woodland drapes enthralled By the peace she’d see when she lost it all And sought a ripe, forbidden fall. The candle fell on each one’s prime; The wicker doused in the tides of time. Like oil cast on a fervent flame, Mortality is who we blame! Immortality all the same! Immortality all the same.
