RaisedInTheDark: Eclipse

In the velvet shroud… of midnight’s embrace,
Where thorns of fate… weave our tragic lace…

Beneath the spires of a crumbling keep,
Where ravens weep… and the willows sleep,
I found you there, a vision in lace and gloom,
Pale as moonlight… in a forgotten tomb.
Our whispers vowed ‘gainst the elder gods’ decree

A bond forged in shadows, wild and free.
Yet the stars aligned… in cruel ballet,
To claim our fire… at the break of day.
Your touch, a poison sweet as absinthe’s kiss,
Drew me deeper… into the abyss.

The veil between worlds… grew thin and frayed,
We chased eternity… but it betrayed…

Hey eclipse! Crash into me!
Doomed kiss! Set my heart free!
Moonlit twist! Can’t you see?
Shadow bliss! You and me!
Hey-hey-hey… fall so deep… deep… deep… lose the sleep…
Hey-hey-hey… night so sweet… sweet… sweet… feel the heat…
We collide… in the tide… of your eyes…
Love’s wild ride… never die…

You slipped like smoke… through the iron gate,
A specter fleeing… our lovers’ fate.
No elegy sung… just the wind’s mournful sigh,
As I knelt in the crypt… where our echoes die.
The chalice overflowed… with wine turned to gall,
Your phantom’s laughter… a siren’s call.
Through velvet darkness… I wandered blind,
Chasing ghosts… in the labyrinth of mind
Opium dreams… and laudanum haze,
Where sorrow blooms… in eternal malaise.

The ancient curse… clawed at our fragile art,
Now echoes linger… in this shattered heart…

Hey eclipse! Crash into me!
Doomed kiss! Set my heart free!
Moonlit twist! Can’t you see?
Shadow bliss! You and me!
Hey-hey-hey… fall so deep… deep… deep… lose the sleep…
Hey-hey-hey… night so sweet… sweet… sweet… feel the heat…
We collide… in the tide… of your eyes…
Love’s wild ride… never die…

Alone in the cloister… where gargoyles stare,
I traced your sigil… in the incense air.
Vials of venom… shattered on marble cold,
Elixirs of forgetfulness… stories untold.
The mirror mocks… with hollowed eyes so vast,
A hollow king… in a kingdom of ash at last.
Demons whisper… of worthlessness profound,
Adrift in the fog… forever unbound…
But from obsidian depths… a spark defies
The rose revives… ’neath storm-torn skies!
No more the thrall… of bottle or blight,
I rise, reborn… in the pale moonlight!

Doomed kiss! Set my heart free!
Moonlit twist! Can’t you see?
Shadow bliss! You and me!
Hey-hey-hey… hey-hey-hey… fall so deep… deep… deep… deep… lose the sleep… dream alive!
Hey-hey-hey… hey-hey-hey… night so sweet… sweet… sweet… sweet… feel the heat… beat the night!
We collide… in the tide… of your eyes…

Eternal eclipse… yields to the morn…
Your shadow fades… and I am reborn…
