- BENEATH OUR HAUNTED MOON -


From graveyards to nurseries  
The time has come to pay the dues  
For all the crimes  
And all the times  
I've loved you fiercely  
 
Been to Hell on so many chances  
It offers no sense of damnation  
Without you to suffer beside me  
Heaven seems beyond the precipice  
 
Won't you come home  
And lay a rose on my tomb?  
I am waiting  
Beneath our haunted moon  
All the dead leaves  
Stir under the winter breeze  
And nothing else  
But you will set my black heart to ease  
 
Betrayal is like a splintered stake  
Piercing the breast of forsaken love  
The crimson geyser spraying the wall  
Becomes a masterpiece of anguish  
 
From mountains to shrouded moors  
Our banners, long since forgotten  
In all the nights  
Our feeble light  
Flickers in the torch  
 
Won't you come home  
And lay a rose on my tomb?  
I am waiting  
Beneath our haunted moon  
All the dead leaves  
Stir under the winter breeze  
And nothing else  
But you will set my black heart to ease  
 
No prayers or trinkets  
Of gold or obsidian  
Can replace the hunting  
Amidst the midnight hour  
This shroud is immortal  
Tightening the cadaver  
Leave behind rosaries  
Far beyond the gates  
 
They are not welcome here
 
 
Won't you come home  
And lay a rose on my tomb?  
I am waiting  
Beneath our haunted moon  
All the dead leaves  
Stir under the winter breeze  
And nothing else  
But you will set my black heart to ease
