Love Lies Bleeding
The Lady Who Didn't Want to Be (demo)
1. Tristesse de la Lune
2. Her Lamentations (Virtue's Dusk)
"Je suis la fille du désespoir, la maladie mortelle,
Une messaline vêtue de noir qui inlassablement t'appelle"
The horizon starts to bleed, the sky closes its eyes
And cries tears of crystal and of ebony...
A new age of mourning and warm tragedy
Spread like a mist of incandescent ashes in my soul - Once again...
A symphony of endurable pleasure ablazes my heart
When I hear these whispers from the dark - Her lamentations...
The call of the snake embraces me, I feel infamous desires
Flesh, fire, fever... Despair of temptation...
A purple cyclone, deep in my eyes, becomes my only god,
Just because of her lamentations...
Suddenly the celestial vault opens a new eye, white as ivory
A pale queen dressed with black clouds, midnight! My time has come!
The wind sweeps away my fear, the wind brings the sin,
The flower of all sweet diseases,
A mighty desire surrounds my weak mind, erases my memory
I'm no longer what I was, I become a new slave of the fleshy plague
When a wave of red darkness mesmerizes my consciousness
Black star! Why did you turn your light on me?
Now what I want most is her lips
Lethal desire! Consume me with ecstasy
Orpheus my love! Come and close your wings on me...
"Je suis la fille du désespoir, la maladie mortelle,
Une messaline vêtue de noir, juste un instant charnel..."
The icons scream, the virgin cries,
She has lost one of her children just because of her lamentations
My existence melts in this night without end...
Eros, sad spirit, dies in forgetting,
Forsaken by my heart, denied by my feelings
Angels die in my Heaven, beheaded by my witch
Morbid visions assault me,
A wolf's rage invade me - I come!
"Je suis la fille du désespoir, la maladie mortelle,
Une messaline vêtue de noir, eternité charnelle...
Viens avec moi dans ce brouillard, possédé par l'anathème
Laisse-toi mourir, il est trop tard... Je t'aime..."
The osmose reaches its climax, we have come one
Virtue and vice... Vice as virtue...
3. The Lady Who Didn't Want to Be
Plus triste que la pierre, la fleur du mal
Oh rage! Au vent, poussières du parfum infernal
Aime-moi, hais-moi sorcière! Oh, fleur fatale!
Que tes épines déchirent ma chair, que brûle leur idéal
Like a worm eating a rose, like a black butterfly
Who draws the precious liquor, the essence of the real
Like a man who never cries, like a woman who never kills,
The incarnate melancholy has enthroned all my being
She had the darkest smile, but tears in her eyes
Delighted in sadness... sad in happiness
The egoistic despair she felt,
The tragical irony I saw in her soul
Enslaved by her fate, she knew her end
My veins are chains that rip my heart
All joy has gone away
Even the snake of suffering is crying
Reality has become a chimera
Good and evil have no more sense
Black and white are no longer opposed,
To become one - I am alone, all alone
Oh! Funeral ballerina! Your dance macabre is complete
Oh! Dark dove! You have taken your majestic flight
I am lost in an ocean of bitterness, I am drowning
Eaten by the creatures of regrets, I only feel apathy
Oh! Mighty apathy... I stand motionless in the moist of my sorrow
I remember her cold carcass, when she was not a carrion anymore
The scythe has cut the roots of my tortured mind
I fall irresistibly toward my destiny
Her outstretched hand getting out the abyss grips my flesh and my soul
Her palms become blades that brings the shadows
The angel cries become tears of blood
The demon's laughters become icy moans
A raven is born... A star starts to shine...
My veins open, a flower wills... I close my eyes and see...
4. Love Lies Bleeding (I: Aporetic Love, II: Grave of Desire)
I am the mighty sun
When she is the frozen moon
Our light will never rejoin
Carry me in the night
In the kingdom of my bride
Where her beauty is so real and so pure
But in this dark immensity
My heart would be drowned
Submerged by the infernal sea of darkness
"I cried so many times
I feel inadequacy
My heart is invited by emptiness
My sorrow has never end
I am enslaved by myself
My prison is my life
Save me from determinism...
The wall of multitude can't be broken
We are nothing but weak unities
We are lost..."
My only deed was to love
Falling in a grave of desire
My sentence will be immortality
In darkness and sorrow
The limpid feeling
Can't be felt during poor human life
I was the spirit lover, now I become real
All ideal are lies
Non-senses in order to overcome
You can't be free in this miserable world
Forget what you know and listen to your soul!
Tragical concepts are running into my mind
I just wanted tranquility and emptiness
Transubstantiation from abstract to concrete...
Life's not a dream anymore
Here comes the age of chaos, the age of blood
Time has come to suffer...
Why did you give me your hand?
Time has come to suffer...
Now we live... we are lost
Come to me! Pale light of hope!
Your embrace can close these eyes
Be the poison that runs into my veins
And spread your wings for me
Through being, through cold existence
Your heat can burn the power
Even the last mighty light can't annihilate
The raven of life
Our love can't be saved...
Lies invade everything...
I cry as I bleed...
A mournful requiem comes with my first breath
As I drown in existence...
Love lies bleeding
Stabbed by a blade called "life"
Stabbed by a blade called "lie"
My screams are pathetic
My tears lost their taste
My will becomes useless
This is the end...
