The velvet fog came after the sun wept her last rays Shedding her tears for the night, The night she'll never see The all-seeing eye, the dead light of luna Watched as the gloom gently closed the flowers But the ones I laid upon her Stayed open to mourn my loss The night air never hurt so deep As it whispered praises of despair To keep in this lonely heart These fingers cut the wet flesh Bleeding red rivers through my face On my weak kness I wept, but death stayed there Until I lost her to gloom, beauty and despair Please open your eyes Please don't fade away I won't let you leave me I'll follow you through it all Wherever it will lead me I will follow Deeper into the pain Further away, for her I step down to where tears remain Over the frozen rivers Through the land of the dead Forever lost and bound in woe Of my ropes of sorrow I wouldn't let go They hanged me to this place I fell Alone and blind I travel in my hell Forever and forever and forever alone
