Amelia from Parerga by Pillars Of Cacophony

Amelia

A faint glimmer from dying lamps
A pale streak of cold grey light
Can death part us? No! I'd return to you from the grave

The dead who die at peace with god are happy in heaven
They cannot return to troubled earth
It is only the suicide, the lost wretch
On whom sorrowful angels shut the door of paradise
Whose unholy spirit haunts the footsteps of the living

He refused her
Drowning
Choking
Dying...

"Suicides are always handsome", says the painter
And then he stands for a little while, idly smoking and meditating
Looking at the sharp outline of the corpse
And the stiff folds of the rough canvas covering

In the sunset
Watching the rose-coloured light glow
Fade and die upon the river

A faint glimmer from dying lamps
A pale streak of cold grey light
Can death part us? No! I'd return to you from the grave

My dear, my dear
I believe I promised you to come back from the dead if you wanted me
And again these fair arms will be clasped round your neck
As they once were, maybe even tighter

He refused her
Drowning
Choking
Dying...
