The Raven And The Rose Lyrics - The Dreadful Hours - My Dying Bride

The chosen one glows like the sun 

Pure of heart, wide in eye 

Sweet she sings, sings her hymns 

Golden girl dances by 

He is filth. Scum of God 

Black as night. Mute and sick 

Sent by the Lord. The boy his sword 

To reap the gold. To use the stick 

He watches her from his side in the blood 

Waiting for the holy call for her blood 

Every moon she comes close to her Lord 

Sick with suffering. The stench and filth of him 

Death all around him. The flies, the dogs, the din 

King of death and pain. Ruler of the slain 

All in Gods name. Creatures for the maim 

I'll come for you soon for my God is my want 

Your eyes. Your face. An angel for the world to see 

My God is my want 

Sickle in hand. Over her I stand 

Fear and love. Red and tears I see 

My God is my want. My God is my want 

My God is my want. My fucking God is my want 

There he lay for his God. A final time 

The silent one. Fallen son. A final night
