Moonspell - A Poisoned Gift Lyrics

Soo beautiful!

the word gift in German means poison

genius masterpiece. Whole album is awesome....that guitar riff that starts at 02:55...its like your soul seperates from your body and fly away...all the pain and strain over,,,forever free...

reminds me a little bit of sentenced "nepenthe" same guitar sound!

dat fucking bass thoo

Aleister Crowley is a motherfucker.

forever young in a ground so cold
the splendor of your death still fresh to behold

in your neck an open wound
to spawn life into your love
and to feed the creatures of our world

we have tasted from the poisoned gift of love
which condemned us to forever fly alone

we have experienced an aged potion
the wine of life which stole us light
may we gather again and be as one
and to forever relish in the twin joys

as we taste from the poisoned gift of love

forever young in a ground so cold
the splendour of your dance still there to behold

our legend is a sin in tongues
to eternal sleep, to trance we belong
we are now but an empty glance
palid is your state of grace

to eternal sleep we belong
feeling the rapture of the world
beneath the violence of this curse
from the poisoned gift of love

once i asked you to fly
tonight i recreate the vow:
do not fail to love me as i have failed to die
with you...

We have tasted from the poisoned gift of love
Which condemned us to forever fly alone..

This whole album is great.  This is real music.

me parte la cabeza... no debe ser de las cosas mas complejas del mundo... pero no se porque uno hace que lo adore

Did you notice the connection with "Vampiria" from the previous album?

the ending of this song is divine...

a matter of the feeling it is

A shame my favorite band gets no love in the U.S. Only shit music gets love. No matter proud owner of all of there CD's

2:55 probably the best guitar solo ever created by a human

4:35 is equally great

god. i carried this record around myself through the years of 13 to 15 like a bastard. forever loved.

@shotgundestiny2001 They are excerpts from The Great Beast Speaks, an Audio collection of Crowley's speeches. Watch qMN4Du2qdNk#t=6m20s

@krukon666 nope

This song is among the best from my childhood's top ten list!
Epic solo as well!!

ONE OF THE BEST SONGS!

What I meant was that many young people believe that listening to commercial bands, is best, completely unaware that there are other better bands. I'm not proud of anything. Greetings!!!

Moonspell were at their creative peak around this stage. they were huge too. shame their popularity took a nosedive after 'The Butterfly Effect'.

This album specificly is Doom/Goth. And a fucking awesome album it is! I don't like this song too much, but the rest is brilliant.

hmm, as my girlfriend has once said about something different: they are like little bit of everything mixed with tomatos :D

Amazing album - bought it HS senior year (1996) because the cover looked cool...what a good choice. Miss 90s metal - when it was all about talent.

I remember when I was 12 years. My friends were super excited about paparoach, Linking Park and others.
But I spent listening to the Moonspell, Crematory, Theater of Tragedy and others.
Greetings!

Legendary guitar solo.

ive heard it's taken from the crowley's speech, but Im not sure of it, can be rumor. Anyway i think this same: the best of the best of the best :3

this album has the direct tap into the heart of gothic/dark/hellish music. fucking great.

try to buy the fucking album :)believe me, it´s worth it...

herr spiegelmann? ill do it

how about omniscience and immortality? to write more great songs like this one ^^
