My Dying Bride The Ghost of Orion 1. Your Broken Shore From my deep silence, they feed the fire Building a gift from this broken liar Forsaking your face, my fingers blind I touch the lonely face of your crime The doom of your, your broken shore It washes over me, hair woven of the sea Your sleeping boat drifts away from me A broken sister now out to sea I have lived through the depths of time I spilt the blood and she was the crime The doom of your, your broken shore It washes over me, hair woven of the sun and the sea The doom of your, your broken shore It washes over me, hair woven of the sun and the sea The doom of your, your broken shore It washes over me, hair woven of the sun and the sea The doom of your, your broken shore It washes over me, hair woven of the sun and the sea Stolen from a dead man's heart Remember me sad, I was your art The voice of my blood orates Touched by the sacred horrors of the hour The doom of your, your broken shore It washes over me, hair woven of the sun and the sea 2. To Outlive the Gods A fool will believe every single word said And yes you may speak with only me now on the sunrise Child of my sore and bleeding body come over here Sit here and say your words feeding only me till sunrise As my mouth moves across her body on this On this very cold night, I am raised to all A blue vein in her throat Glows under lamplight It's the way that she looks At me for her gold You had fluttered out of my holy hands Our new courtship was proud and was ruthless Ruin came slowly and devoured all of me You placed yourself right by my cold body As my mouth moves across her body on this On this very cold night, I am raised to all A blue vein in her throat Glows under lamplight It's the way that she looks At me for her gold You had become so beautiful my love Our great kingdom came down You had removed all of my enemies Forever we reign Forever we reign Forever we reign 3. Tired of Tears I passed right through Her fingers, her mortal despair It's me I read between The gemstones that dripped from her lips For me I am so tired of tears So tired of tears Lay not thy hand upon Lay no hand on my daughter My child sings soft And sweet to herself I know no life Can live forever Sailing away I go from myself Shadows wicked Finger is pointing Wrapped in a sorry Shroud of my sickness Without you I have Become a mortal With this child in my In my bleeding arms I am so tired of tears So tired of tears Lay not thy hand upon Lay no hand on my daughter I passed right through Her fingers, her mortal despair It's me I read between The gemstones that dripped from her lips For me Wrapped in a sorry Shroud of my sickness Without you I have Become a mortal With this child in my In my bleeding arms I am so tired of tears So tired of tears Lay not thy hand upon Lay no hand on my daughter 4. The Solace As night falls Embraced by fade As death whispers to us Life's aura grey Time drifts away Feeling no remorse As candles burn out The night returns But once black Our home anew But once black Our home anew Solace in sorrow We can see in the dark But once black Our home anew But once black Our home anew Solace in sorrow We can see in the dark 5. The Long Black Land On my throne in which you sit Lies a kiss from your god Long have I waited for this Rise up and face your god Listen, what do you hear? Do you hear? Listen to my voice inside your heart Listen to my voice inside your heart Face your God Your God Face your God Face your God Your God On the lap of the world I lay my head Pick my way carefully through our long past Hold my hand, young one Hold my hand Listen to my voice Hold my hand Face your God Your God 6. The Ghost of Orion A ghost crawls from the great mouth-piece of Orion Its heart darkened by its own shadow A cold angel drawn down from Heaven Its lonely cry comes shivering through the dark As beasts roar at the great biting flames Blessed are the chains that bind him to the darkness And cursed are the blades that leave him lame 7. The Old Earth Beast broken by time Captive voice, streams lie Dangerous world in Heavens fire Earthly child brings sickened sight Beast broken by time Captive voice, streams lie Solar light blessed noble night Deadly gifts bring sickened sight Blessed with sixth second sight Blessed with sixth second sight Black solar light Waist deep, waist deep in sky In heavens fire Blessed earthly child Brings sick, brings sickened sight Second sight Brings sickened sight Blessed with sixth second sight Black solar light Waist deep, waist deep in sky In heavens fire Waist deep in heavens fire Fire claws the old earth and takes the sea Seas give their treasure, breathing freely All mankind will breathe their last Down on our knees Down on our knees Down on our knees Shrouded in cold ropes and cutting nails Nailed to the old oak in rain and hail All mankind will breathe their last Down on our knees Down on our knees Down on our knees Blessed with sick second sight Gifts from God bring forth suffering 8.
