bring forth ye shadow - theatre of tragedy lyrics

[poem by raymond, music by theatre of tragedy & p? l bj? stad]

time is an abyss –
profound as a thousand nights;
i sojourn my haste, i make respites
for what availeith this eager pace?
one step more naught to face,
save the heirloom fatal kiss.

i rave no more ‘gainst time or fate,
for lo! my own shall ne’er come to me,
yet! – who doth my future narrate?
dim the lights – i cannot see!
bring forth ye shadow! –
with whom danceth thou?

time hath stopp’d –
yet for others ne’er halteth;
for me the pages of life do not turn,
lo! – on the funeral pyre they burn.
the oh so eathing velvet darkness they fear –
heed! – wherefore delve a burrow,
when in my arms o! come here? –
i say, elsewhither is naught but sorrow!

for what deemest thou so dear thy blood
when through my veins it could flood? –
bide to merry – make me unaptly;
and hence grant me the fell gift,
the gift of p-ssing on the dark trick.
’tis such a brazen act of erotic;
trifle for thee, yet for me grandly thrift,
o! such an innocence depriv’d so hastily –

alas, for what deemest thou so dear thy blood
when through my veins it will flood?
