The Gothic Embrace

Oh, angel of my winter
Grieveth for the pain of sadness
A gothic embrace restores my love
God took away
Ye romance of forgotten times
In eras without the sun
An ocean of tears I see
A nightfall of dreams caresses me

Thou wert, thou art
Thou shalt forever be
Ye nightshade of thy sorrow
Stretching out in twilight's beauty
In love with ye thousands of nights
But weeping in silence, in ebony
For melancholy forever, forever

Jesus Christ walks the earth
A pitiful shade of God
A cruel conspiracy
For the sake of slavery
And He drags us down
To the plague of humanity
Set us free

I've killed my holiness
Killed my emptiness
I'm fallen from God
Fallen from guilt

I've abandoned the light
The light that blinded so long
Free from submission
But still under His spell
We're in pain, pain, pain
Sorrow turns to anguish
And I scream with hate at the tyrant above

(Hosanna de Profundis)
(Arcana Imperii)
(Salva me, Libera me)

Gothic moon ablazeth the eventide so sonorous
Ye solemn of a lovelorn garden of crimson souls
All true beauty is sad
But lost within the clenched hands of God
Lost within the clenched hands of God

We're all like dying embers, we are fallen leaves
As long as Thy power is seated on Heaven's throne
The false righteousness in Thy glory's name
Forever, forever shall I grieve

I mourn that the night passes us by
Let there be an eternal night, eternal night
