- - - WHEN DRESDEN BURNS - - -

When she kisses the skull
Does the smell of death linger?
A razor edge that never dulls
When she traces my corpse
With delicate fingers

Place a rose on my tomb
Recite me haunted verses
Thirteen candles seduce the gloom
Here at my death chamber
With immortal curses

Time does crawl
In winter's grasp
Relive the past
With wicked claws

The stars burns brighter
Than Dresden flames
In the darkest night
Do you remember my name?
When the crows murder
The brightest day
Winter winds do creep
Will you remember my name?

My love for her endured
The bitter viper venom
When the weepers and willows burned
'Fore the lover's caress
In the arms of demons

The sacrifice offered
Is not deep enough crimson
The cries do not fill the coffers
With enough cooling blood
In this killing season

Time does crawl
Inside the past
Before the last
Angel falls

When Faith falls further
Then Dresden flames
In the coldest night
I still remember her name
Condemn innocence
On bleakest days
Falling from Heaven
Do you remember her name?

Mourningstar, Mourningstar
Morningstar

And bitterly
This tragedy
Replaying
Delaying
My mind
The spires
And fires
Cannot dissolve
The fact that
I am damned

Morningstar, Morningstar
Mourningstar

Anomalies
And misery
Corrupting
Erupting
The tears
Her crying
And dying
Cannot resolve
The fact that
I am damned

Upon the spit of heavenly lords
I, The Morningstar, writhe, denied
As my gaze withers the world

Time does crawl
In winter's grasp
Relive the past
With wicked claws

The stars burns brighter
Than Dresden flames
In the darkest night
Do you remember my name?
When the crows murder
The brightest day
Winter winds do creep
Will you remember my name?
