Like A Perpetual Funeral Lyrics - My Dying Bride

I reach for my shadow in horror 

Envy eats but its own cold heart 

Some friends, the few I have left 

Set sail out of the frame I'm in 

He begins to die, That loses his desires 

All are not merry that dance here lightly 

Fear follows those who live by the sword and fire 

My heart was my weapon, and the death of me 

I saw the evening anew, all lean and red of hue 

It's a lonely ocean out there, watched from my shore of despair 

So unto the sea my grief set sail, in disbelief 

Fevers and time burn away, Nothing is allowed to stay 

There is nothing new underneath the sun 

The moon with its long arms, reaches into the sea 

My eyes were towers high, in my heaven 

And from my body drew a cold breath and final clue 

The sun made clear its thoughts, It was never coming through 

I saw the evening anew, all lean and red of hue 

It's a lonely ocean out there, watched from my shore of despair 

So unto the sea my grief set sail, in disbelief 

Fevers and time burn away, Nothing is allowed to stay
