- - - TERMINAL LOVE SONG - - -

I brought her candles, I brought her roses
To line her bed with, to sleep like angels
Prayers and sweet nothings, of what was said
Now, sleep, my darling, sleep just like the dead

I hold you in my arms
Keep you safer from harm
Vultures out and about
To take your charms, baby

I'll cover you in sheets of red velvet
And sing you a lullabye lament
Who knows, we may yet see another day
And then take one more step into the grave

I am waiting in my dying chair
When the air is stinking with my despair
Won't don't you just die already, dear?
Our love is terminal and quite severe

October comes with a touch of doom
Dead leaves are falling, falling in the gloom
Summer died in misery
Why are all the little children laughing at me?

Cigarettes eases nerves
When the screw slowly turns
Love my desecration
Forever burn, baby

I tell the devil tales of her terror
Her delirium lost within fever
My little crimson rose posed in her sleep
Please just tell me, do the dead even dream?

I am waiting in my dying chair
When the air is stinking with my despair
Won't don't you just die already, dear?
Our love is terminal and quite severe

I am laying in your dying bed
When the loneliness will not leave my head
Why won't I just die already, dear?
Our love was terminal and quite severe

"I tell the devil tales of her terror
