Album: Dusk... And Her Embrace (1996)

Take Away The Wine

Take away the wine
For restlessness plagues me...
I am assailed by a spectre profounder
Than hatred and grief or the sum of their hideous crime

I shalt suffer this confessional mime

Awaiting the sun to set, crimsoning seas
Only once it is dark doth my misery cease

She died to a sky dressed in flame
Eyes full of curses for her killers by choice
Who fell to their god o'er her vision and voice

I am as dusk come to ravish the light
Steal me from their stares and mute christ into night
I will answer the prayers
If thou Wouldst drink of my life...
