Annabel Lee

She was a child- I was a child
In that kingdom by the sea
How cruelly then she was taken from me
My beautiful Annabel Lee
When death came in to steal her from me
I tried to put up a fight
I was no match for that figure cloaked in black
And I lost my bride to the night
She was singing at her piano
Such a beautiful sight to me
But blood has now consumed our lives
It is dripping from the keys
Let me have under her own hand
A letter bidding me goodbye
I may die, my heart will break
But I will say no more

The Unquiet Grave

The wind blows cold to my true love And gently drops the rain
I only had but one true love In the Greenwood she lies slain
I'll do as much for my true love As any young man may
I'll sit and mourn along her grave For a twelve-month and a day
When the twelve months and one day was past The ghost began to speak:
"Why do you sit along my grave And will not let me sleep?"
There's just one thing I want, my love Just one thing that I crave
One last kiss from your lily white lips Then I'll go from your grave…
"My lips they are as cold as clay My breath smells earthy strong
And if you kiss my cold clay lips Your days will not be long"
Go fetch me water from the desert And blood from out of stone
Go fetch me milk from a fair maid's breast a young man’s never known.”
'Twas down in Cupid's Garden Where you and I would walk
The finest flower that ever I saw Is withered to a stalk
The stalk is withered and dry, my love, The flower won’t return
And since I lost my one true love What can I do but mourn?
"When shall we meet again, my love? When shall we meet again?"
Where oaken leaves that fall from trees Are green and spring again.
"When shall we meet again, my love? When shall we meet again?"
Where oaken leaves that fall from trees Are green and spring again.

In Shadow
05:18
|

Usher in the darkness, the light untimely stays
Lingering long shadows from the sunset’s final blaze…
In shadow I am hidden, cloaked in dusk and shade,
Protected from the sight of those who live within the day
For all this time we’ve waited, to walk in our own skins
The eve of the All Hallows, and at nightfall it begins…
So follow swift on darkened streets, and join the masquerade
And tread the path of dark and dread, our Witches’ Night parade
In shadow we march
Demand our tithe from every door
In shadow we ride
On street and byway field and moor
In shadow…
Remember this in years to come, when shadows chance to meet,
In every half-heard echo behind you on the street,
You followed swift on darkened streets, and joined in our charade
And treaded paths of dark and dread, the Witches’ Night parade
In shadow we march
Demand our tithe from every door
In shadow we ride
On street and byway field and moor
In shadow…
