Die Verbannten Kinder Evas - Misery

Die Verbannten Kinder Evas - Misery From the album "Come Heavy Sleep" (1997) Lyrics from "Invocation To Misery", A poem by Percy Bysshe Shelley "Come, be happy and sit near to me, Shadow-wested, shadow-wested misery, Unwilling silent bride Mourning in thy, in thy robe of pride Come, be happy and sit near to me, Sad as I may seem, sad as I may seem to thee I'm happier far than thou, Lady whose imperial brow is endiademed with woe Hasten, hasten to the bridal bed Underneath the, underneath the grave 'tis spread In gloom may our love hide I may rest with my eternal bride Kiss me, kiss me, oh thy lips are cold 'Round my neck, around my neck thin arms, thin arms enfold They're soft but chill and dead And thy tears upon my head like points of frozen lead Clasp me 'till our hearts, till our hearts be grown Like two shadows, two shadows into one 'Till this dreadful transport may Like a vapour fade away We may dream in that eternal sleep That we are not the kind of those, who weep Even as pleasure dreams of thee Thou majest dream of her with me"
