Blue Lotus Lyrics - Songs Of Darkness, Words Of Light - My Dying Bride

Under the darkened, Ancient oak 

Gentle in the nights breeze 

I stop and stare, rest a while 

With hands upon my knees 

Through jaded leaves, bush and scrub 

I spy my journeys end 

Black it looms, silent gloom 

The castle called Avend 

On I trot, past forest eyes 

Past horrors of the night 

Through the dark, I see a sign 

A gentle glowing light 

Upon reaching the castle I ascend the ivy 

Towards the golden window 

My heart pounds my breath is rushed 

As I fight both brick and branch 

The ledge is mine and over I sweep 

Silent like the falling snow 

Quiet, I slip across the polished floor 

Tonight, I will dine with chance 

The Blue Lotus, a legend, I thought a myth 

Old poems and stories gone 

A beauty of unimaginable lust 

Both men's hearts, and Gods, were won 

Skin like milk, an angels face 

Thay say her smile could kill 

Her hair the blackest of all black 

Stories I thought Though, still 

So there she lay spleeping upon the bed 

Half covered by fantastic silks 

Her breast I see, moves with her dreams 

A sight I will always recall 

A single candle that showed me the way 

Through forest, river and hills 

Glows upon that lovely skin 

Shadows dancing aroun the walls 

Closer I creep, toward my prize 

The Blue Lotus lies before me 

Her lips are full, red as blood 

Moist as they invite me 

Stoop I did to kiss those lips 

In that glowing room 

When suddenly, she did awake, 

Her eyes filled with doom 

From silks, her hands were round my neck 

Escape there was no hope 

A brief flash of teeth is all I saw 

And gone was my throat 

Her bloodlust deep, she swallowed me 

Red was all I saw 

She drank her fill and watched me fall 

Gently to the floor 

A league away my death is found 

By locals who tend this land 

Who lay me down in shllow earth 

A single Lotus placed in my hand
