When I close my eyes And I see you there my bride As we walk the autumn days And at nightfall the stars above we'd gaze The silver moon above would fill the night With a cascade of lunar flames Reflected in your eyes Your lips Your flesh But then the light it fades And in the shadow of your gaze I feel an emptiness inside As darkness takes my bride So now I close my eyes And see the night you died For no stars were in the sky On the godless winter night But what am I to do alone Without your loving sweet caress No tender words No gentle hand to guide me Out of this darkness I trace the lines upon your lips And feel the tears fall from my eyes As darkness takes my bride I open up my eyes I see you there my bride On this ancient forest floor You sleep forever more The beauty of the withering flower Beneath this starless sky Frozen forever As a nightmare in my mind My withering flower How beautifully you died For the stars died with you On this endless winter night How beautiful it was to see You die within these arms of mine How beautiful it was to see Your eyes reflect the lunar light How beautifully this withering Lover dies within my arms tonight How beautifully The darkness takes my bride The beauty of the withering flower Beneath this starless sky Frozen forever as a nightmare in my mind My withering flower How beautifully you died For the stars died with you On this endless winter night The death of my dearest lover Beneath a starless sky Tortured forever By the terrors in my mind My withered lover How beautifully you died For the stars died with you On this endless winter night
