Abyss, My Lover

from A Waltz for Apophenia by A Dream of Poe

/

lyrics

No poetry this time.
No tender crows feasting
Over synchronicities
No cradles of water, I’ll be crowned.
No crying over war’s casualties.

Surrender one more time.
Gently take your idle clothes to me.
No shame in the shadows
To corrupt our dignity.

I'm delighted you came.
Welcome to the Abyss,
Where Mother Death's bosom
Is our only warmth.

Apophenia, my surrender.
Weary of the world, my servitor.
Searching for absolution, my lover.
Apophenia, the destroyer

What have you done
While I feverishly slept?
What have you begun
While I made the journey of the Adept?

No you won’t take me back
Into the fire of vulgarity.
I won’t drift away
For your dismay.

No you won’t set me back
On my track into far away.
I won’t drift away
For your dismay.

Yes, you may come down now
And take a vow to fade away.
I won’t drift away
Melancholia, my lover

Scream in fire
Your heart’s desire
A funeral pyre
To lead the way
For all of those
Who live in dismay.
For all of those
Who still believe in dismay.

So glad you came.
Welcome to my abyss
Where you will sleep,
Moan and weep, in Devil’s Keep.

I can see it all:
The interwoven movement of reality.
Surrender, I arrived whole
To devour duality.

No, you won’t ever come back
Light turns to black as you fade away
On Ascension Day.
Melancholia, the destroyer.
