Lyrics My Dying Bride

My Dying Bride

My Body, a Funeral

The ruin of your face

Pours down like lead tears

As you sit by my side

Confess to me your fears

Drink deep the wreck of me

My body is a funeral

I fail to find comfort

In your pale cold eyes

Worn loosely about me

You hang there dying off me

Deep in the misery

Of my long arms, weeping

I cradle your tired head

This moment for the keeping

Her hand raised from the shadows in silence

Like a dying victim of a biblical plague

A strange mix of innocence and horror

Gushed from her red rimmed and swollen eyes

Resentment conquers sympathy and I turn my back

Her burning stare, like a minute blazing suns

Roars into the back of my head

And I simply move away

I will sing you this song of

All my pain, so listen

Great roaring, tears pouring

Down unto me from my lover

The winter in your soul

Has frozen me forever
