My Drowned Lover
The winds' cold fingers
Bite at my skin
As i look down upon the sea
My love drowned in

I wear my tattered wedding dress
I wear my tarnished ring
As i step towards edge
And the silver stormy sea

The sky is grey and red
Not quite lit by autumn sun
It is the last thing i see
When i fall
I fall down
And i drown

But deep within the ocean
When the fish have picked my bones
I feel cold limbs
Once agian dance
Within the embrace of
My drowned lovers arms

"Come back to me"
She hissed, at the lost  
of his memory.  
As he faded from this  
existence.  
No potion or charm  
will bring him back,
but her witchery is  
persistent.

Her tears,
fall into the cauldron,
as green smoke fills
the clouded night air.
Immersed in the forest,
she boils her concoction,
whispering chants,
that only the insects  
can hear.  

Spirits gather in a circle,
and join her in her  
reverie.  
As the pulse
of the night seems to beat steadily,
like that of a metronome.  
Lost in her enchantment,
on she continues to drone.  

"Come Back!" she screams,
"Awake!" she cries to no avail.
She cuts her palm...  
and her Satanic blood falls.  
She can't take the thought,
not being able to ever call his name,
again.

The oozing liquid,
turns from green to red.  
and boils over in violence.  
The spirits disperse in fear,
the chant as been broken.  

She alone lays on the forest  
floor,
weak, hungry, that was her last
drop of blood.  
She hasn't fed in days,
and any site of a human  
is miles away.  

She smiles,  
as the clouds close in over her
jade eyes.
If he won't back for her,
she'll leave for him.  
With the last of her strength,
she rose up and drank,
her own poisonous elixir,
and fell back,
as her mind went blank.

She didn't feel a thing,
as her hands turned to ice,
as her body decay so slowly.  
As the first dawn light hit  
the fog covered ground.
A hand reached for hers,
separating her essence from the
beautiful corpse.
She was finally with him,
now and,
forever.

In the Name of Death


The time is coming, and the Love is gathering
I prepare for my Love to come back,
Give me a moment, Now is the season for her to return,
No there is no other soul to hold, When the dead return
For She has answers to questions I yet to ask,
Silence is beauty, living only complicates my task,
Painted an decorated in the name of death for you my Love,
Teach me how to live without you, and how to be with you yet again,
Let me hear where to look, my Love, will your voice be there,
Tell my spirit how to fly an be strong, Darlin Babe,
Mí Vida will I see you there, please be there,,,
Yes life is unfair and life is very cruel,
Taken you away, before we had our time fulfilled,
Song of a mourner, do you live with me in the heart,
Can you see me when I fall to my knees, praying in the dark,
Driven by this hunger; I call your name out loud,
An empty seat kept, an empty seat awaits,
By the grave where you are sleeping , my love I let shine down,
In a circle of salt an prayer an ground up brick, No other soul can come to me to trick,
All Souls everywhere, in or around the world, all souls that breath or sleep,
Here I stand waiting, for my love
She will walk among the living again underneath an all souls day sky
