a hallowed suffering rode upon the ninth - ligeia wept lyrics
once catholic feet fell upon our sands
hence a murderous shadow was cast
a poison crawled across the land
its tyranny held fast
the infection raged like a forest fire;
as brother turned against brother
with the blood of waling innocents
the trembling earth was smothered
take me now unto your depths
tranquil embrace
drink deep of my slowing breath
dreams they fade…
carry me unto realms unknown
the calendar i dread
upon my heart, ivy’s grown
as this life i shed..
eight waves, benign did come
such hallowed suffering rode upon the ninth…
take me now from this place
of beauty unbounded
by a sickness riddled faith
her body’s surrounded
her name in countless years lies buried
a memory so picturesque
dwelling …ghostlike, she wanders
through caverns full of emptiness
her name in countless years lies buried
a memory so picturesque
dwelling …ghostlike, she wanders
through caverns full of emptiness
her parents slain by “men of god”
the cleansing left her orphaned
a wounded soul, the bloodied earth
she vanished into autumn…
i’ll not behold this tragedy
for another day
an ocean vast does welcome me
takes my soul away
