Ligeia Lyrics - Evereve

Inspired by E. A. Poe 

Dear child, are you scared tonight? 

Your body is trembling 

Dear child, you are a tragic bride 

With a blemished mind 

Dear soul, I will take you 

To the very ends of the earth 

Dear soul I will break you 

The marble BREED is mine 

"Out - out are the lights - out all! 

And over each quivering form, 

The curtain, a funeral pall, 

Comes down with the rush of a storm, ..." 

Dear worm, are you strong enough? 

I will defy you 

Dear worm, I will rise up high 

From the glowing embers 

"...And the angels, all pallid and wan, 

Uprising, unveiling, affirm 

That the play is the tragedy, "Man", 

And its hero the conqueror Worm".
