Victorian Funeral from Omenbringer by Missing

All around me, winds are dancing like a memory
Pierce like a blizzard, sift like ash through my trembling hands
You numb my skin like a manor's lonely ghost now, take me in and
Lead me to your chamber, lay me down and sing your lullaby

Warm red
Lips cold like snow
Shadow
Oh, it looms over all

Tangled in a veil of the dead
Adrift in an ocean of time
I'll wait 'til my final breath
Until we meet in another life

Fever madness, specter dances
Fires burn like passions
I'll roll your halo down the hall
If I can fool my head for a touch
Fading pictures, please don't leave me
Lying alone in the foyer
Bewildered eyes catch the sunlight through this
Victorian mourning veil on the window

Warm red
Hands stiff like coal
Ooh, your shadow
Oh, it looms over all

Tangled in a veil of the dead
Adrift in an ocean of time
I'll wait 'til my final breath
Until we meet in another life

I'll color the mantles black as stone and
Seal my soul away
Haunt me down the stairwell, down to my tombstone
Snuff out the candles, pass like an omen
Through the wilderness, to my arms
And take me far away from here
Take me far away, away

Warm red
Lips cold like snow
Shadow
Oh, it looms over all

Tangled in a veil of the dead
Adrift in an ocean of time
I'll wait 'til my final breath
Until we meet in another life

Warm red
Hands stiff like coal
Ooh, your shadow
Oh, it covers me

Take me in
This time I'll wait for you
Lay me down
This time I'll dream for you
