Symphonaire Infernus Et Spera Empyrium The destroying genius of idols Will shroud the world with utter lies Dance the cobbles, his abode named Dis Portraits have spoken their masters distress Icons with kisses, tell me who have seen this Failing Enochian tapestries Depict the prince of fallen virtues In almost poetic rhapsody Masterbate to the sound of the knell The Patchetic stench of dying children Perhaps our fall is certain Limbs entwined in absolute contoursion Please put off your veil Your heart is blameless And I shudder for knowing it A hot May makes a fat churchyard And Lychfowel breed in chaotic frenzy Her cry was the saddest of all earths sounds Trauma bites hard the hearts of Kin Swept away by a moments sadness They say rage is a brief madness By way of the beloveds farewell Give back to nature what we first did take And monuments would slowly fill The agendas' of Kings and Queens In silence our faces bleed The holy voice torn away by the gale Make yourself all honey and the flies will devour you Love is a game where both players cheat Gone is the tale of Hero and Leander Women are angels yet wedlock's the devil To have and to hold but death no longer parts Harlots and sluts, whores of our world Expose their stinking vaginas' Many who have no will of their own Hold their souls towards the sinister bloom Are you rich oh lord of vanity As you peddle your wears of cruelty Dressed up so you look the part So blind, it's ignorance you wear Quite brutal beyond belief Sores that weep their septic tears Dragged out through war torn lifetimes And death shall feast on us all The mills of God grind slowly The adorable light of that which is most divine The fascination of her shape With mansions of awe and splendour Elegant in simplicity So at last your faith rewards you Through fields enriched with pastel shade And fragrant lavenders soft to smell You laugh and drink wine of no great age Nature does scent the farthest shores Face to face your angelic host All hopes in you imperishably kept Is God your wish and all your dreams If your body is frail then yes by all means Make yourself all honey and the flies will devour you The Crown of Sympathy See the light and feel my warm desire Run through my veins like the evening sun It will live but no eyes will see it I'll bless your name before I die No person in everything can shine Yet shine you did for the world to see All a man hath will he give for life? For life that's lost bleeds all over me I'd fallen before but it never hurt like this Don't leave me here to crawl through the mire I'm without fault before the throne of god Take from me the crown of sympathy What do you think you'll see? What do you think there will be? Sit down! Did you see the sun? What will we become? Great ones? The mouths that dare not speak his name Behold them, raised, complete and fine The battle for our lives is oh, so brief Take my hand and please walk with me When I was young the sun did burn my face I let its love and warmth wash over me The melting voice of many in the hush of night Whispering tongues can poison my honest truth Come dress me with your body and comfort me I dreamt of a dead child in my sleep I wear a terrible mark in my head My clean, white bed. It calls to me I must lie down. And I want you to lay with me in sympathy No sad adieu's on a balcony For one last time, just walk with me At the beautiful gate of the temple We must be saved. For deadened, icy pain covers all the earth The Grief of Age The terror of being Left alone Never leaves me Unspeakables woes Gather me Up forever To your breast Morbid weather Watch this face Still a child Eyes red raw Aching and tired Issue your Delicate voice Sing through me Men are twice boys Childrens waking fears Of the supernatural Choke their simple thoughts And crush our simple minds I feel sometimes A hell within myself The terror of The piled earth Hiding me Will end this man forever A Kiss to Remember Open me And drink up my scarlet Kiss me deep Kiss me deep and love me forever more Bloody love Bloody love inside of you Swallow me Thank God, there's nothing I can do Come with me my friend, come and see the end And let me swallow up your pain Leave the village lights, step into the night Open your mouth to my bloody rain And at your second birth, we will slay the earth And stalk mankind 'til Heaven burns Just lay down for me, naked for me to see It's just one kiss, that's all I need Take me down Down to the bloody shore Dig me deep, dig me deep And leave me forever more Lay me down Down with all of them And forget me Like you forgot the rest of them Grace Unhearing Falling, drowning, deeper and forever Choking, sinking, deeper into this ocean Screaming, crying for someone to save me Reaching, hoping, calling to no-one My only sin Was to kill a man Deep was my pain But I'd do the same again Beat it out, out of me, cut me up and watch me bleed Strike me down, cast me out throw me into the ocean's mouth My only prayer Was to a God Who I don't believe But all the same, I'm on my knees Beat it out, out of me, cut me up and watch me bleed Strike me down, cast me out Throw me into the Devil's mouth Bleeding, weeping, calling to no-one Pleading, alimghty, why can't you hear me My only sin Was to kill a man Deep was my pain But I'd do the sam again Beat it out, out of me, cut me up and watch me bleed Strike me down, cast me out Throw me into my own mouth Take me away To a better place Far from anyone By myself and leave a gun Beat it out, out of me, cut me up and watch me bleed Strike me down, cast me out Throw me into my Saviour's mouth For You I will be here for you All I want is you When I see your face All the Angels are shamed Lay with me beauty Feel me close to you Take my hand to you Touch you softly. Your warm skin Cover me with you Over me under you Pull me in to you As one we lay entwined All I ever wanted I have, I need never wish again You are heaven sent Sear Me III Come to me Comfort me Take my hand In your arms In your eyes I will be Forever yours Bring me down To your bed To your dreams Take my life Take everything Through those meadows Of heaven Where we ran forevermore I wish, oh, how I wish again With you. Oh, to be with you So lay me down Close to you Hold me now my lover I kiss your tears My sweet one And kiss again, my love The Cry of Mankind You can't expect to see him and survive You'll swallow his tongue of thorns His mouth, dripping with flies In his glorious kingdom of fire But I believe he wept I will make them all lie down Down where hope lies dying With lust, you're kicking mankind to death We live and die without hope You tramp us down in a river of death As I stand here now, my heart is black I don't want to die a lonely man This is a weary hour This is a weary hour Lyrics in plain text format	Artwork Info All tracks written by My Dying Bride All tracks published by Vile Music / Zomba Review This isn't a new My Dying Bride cd, but a greatest / rare hits compilation. Actually I already had all songs on this cd, but I am a freak. Normal people should find some new rare songs here. Two songs are from the Towards the Sinister demo, one from the Japanese Import version of Like Gods of the Sun, and one from the Unreleased Bitterness EP. The other four are regular songs, but brilliant nonetheless... Something to listen to until the next MDB cd comes out. Which will be Meisterwerk II. Rating: 8 out of 10
