Evereve - Ligeia lyrics

Inspired by E. A. Poe

Dear child, are you scared tonight?

Your body is trembling

Dear child, you are a tragic bride

With a blemished mind

Dear soul, I will take you

To the very ends of the earth

Dear soul I will break you

The marble BREED is mine

"Out - out are the lights - out all!

And over each quivering form,

The curtain, a funeral pall,

Comes down with the rush of a storm, ..."

Dear worm, are you strong enough?

I will defy you

Dear worm, I will rise up high

From the glowing embers

"...And the angels, all pallid and wan,

Uprising, unveiling, affirm

That the play is the tragedy, "Man",

And its hero the conqueror Worm".
