I Love the Dead

[Intro] "Finally alone! - I want you so much! The sweetest bride!"... [Verse 1] You're pale as the moon Mysterious as the night Your beauty's like a statue You're cold as ice! You're motionless in your grave Silent like Death You're rigid in your limbs You are so dead! [Chorus] I love the dead before they're cold Their bluing flesh for me to hold Cadaver eyes upon me see - nothing! [Verse 2] I love the dead before then rise No farewells, no goodbyes I never even know your rotting face While friends and lovers mourn your silly grave! My only gift is for you darling Yes, I love the dead [Refrain] I love the dead! I love the dead! I love the dead! I love the dead! I love the dead! I love the dead! [Verse 3] You're finished your existence Don't shout for your madness Don't tremble for your fear Bleed the disease! Now you're free to believe Don't ask me to remain You're ready to realize How I love the dead! [Chorus] I love the dead before they're cold Their bluing flesh for me to hold Cadaver eyes upon me see - nothing!
