lyrics

This bitter drink
A dreary friend
A companion
Until the end

My eyes are shut
Yet you remain
In lightless shrouds
And vivid pain

Alone
But not silent
The Cawing Crows
Are still present

These friends
Such graceful things
Proud and dark
With graceful wings

And here
This bitter drink
My bitter love
I shudder to think

Come to me
I wish you here
Give me that tainted hand

I’ll wait for you
My lonely dear
Six feet above these sands

This Despair
It shall not set
It shall not overcome

But here I wait
In hopeless thought
Allergic to the sun

Overbearing grief
Has struck me at my core
Nepenthe in my hands
Can free me no more

I embrace this light
I embrace the pain
These grim and somber sights
Where my dear has lain

But still I sit alone
Seeing with eyes closed
These specters bearing truth
With painful, pleasant sighs

We two have parted ways
Though once intertwined
Miserable and wretched soul
And fragile, grieving mind

My eyes still shut
You still remain
In lightless shrouds
And vivid pain

Help me escape
This dreadful place
Stretch out your hand
Show me your face

Immortal Orchestra Weston, Florida

We are the cawing of the crows that sit atop the leafless trees, and the morose beating of the wings of skulking vultures. We are the grandeur of the greatest cathedral and the humility it conveys. We are the storms that comfort you in your darkest hour, blotting out the hideous, mocking sun. We are the laudanum in your hand and the absinthe in your throat. We are the Immortal Orchestra. ... more
