A Prelude To Love And Death Lyrics - Singles - Unholy Matrimony

A Prelude To Love And Death 

First signs of a new dawn claimed beyond the sight of the far mountains 

A black sun rising, casting a red shadow under my lonely body 

A seed was growing inside of me, guiding me to the top of the mountains 

Isolde calling me, whispering my name from there 

Whispering my name... 

Ignorant of the tragic fate that the horned angels were already announcing 

Through the blizzard I was trying to reach the top 

Whence my name was pronounced 

Against the will of the gods 

For the unholy matrimony would be an heresy 

Against the very essence of reason 

Passion 

But the immoral had to be 

Strong, pure, destructive 

Beyond love 

Pleasure and pain 

I saw a golden hair carried by the wind getting caught in my clothes covered with snow 

That was the sign, yet unknown the embrace was already tightening around my soul 

Her finger was pointing at me when I discovered Her sitting on her frozen throne. 

Isolde calling me, whispering my name from there 

Whispering my name... 

On Her side, an old druid was preparing a philtre that Her and I drank
