"I Welcome Thy Arrow" lyrics
"I Welcome Thy Arrow"
You're the hunter
I'm the haunted
Woven with sorrow's thread
Where I go you will follow
I welcome thy arrow
- Hand me thy poisonous chalice
Impale me on thy spear
And adhere!
Steadfast in my sorrow
I welcome thy arrow
Neath idle, blood-shut eyes
There's a whole universe there
The indefinite chart
Of life's spectral ocean
But I was lost in woodlands
Famished and broken
Of what seemed like endless winter
The hunter and the haunted
Adrift from here
Over soul-sick burrow and shore
I welcome thy arrow
-Hand me thy poisonous chalice
With arms outstretched
Come here
This is thy prey!
And I will not pray to be saved
Not at ease with my sorrow
So I welcome thy arrow
Recounting its history
I'm keeping it here
The indefinite chart
Of life's spectral ocean
But I was lost in woodlands
Famished and broken
Of what seemed like endless winter
The hunter and the haunted
I lay outstretched and bare
In the vermillion glare
There's a whole universe there
No more am I to weep
I'm awakened from the dream
Of an insomniacs sleep

My Dying Bride - "She Is The Dark" A cruel sleep 'cross our land
All withered and dying
As they fall, the victims

Is pacing. Is preying...
Paradise Lost - "Beneath Broken Earth" Before us the King
As lifeless hearts sink
Before us lays dreams
A light no one sees
Hail to nothingness
You wish to die

Trees Of Eternity - "Gallows Bird" A red sun on the horizon
Marks the hour of your call
Somber is the one whose eyes are still veiled
Watching your departure
As mine, watch you arrive
Your hands are tied
Your mask applied

Moonspell - "Scorpion Flower" Curse the day, hail the night
Flower grown in the wild
In your empty heart
In the breast that feeds
Flower worn in the dark
Can I steal your mind for a while?
Can I stop your heart for a while?
Can...
