My Dying Bride - The Raven And The Rose Lyrics






The chosen one glows like the sun
Pure of heart, wide in eye
Sweet she sings, sings her hymns
Golden girl dances by

He is filth. Scum of God
Black as night. Mute and sick
Sent by the Lord. The boy his sword
To reap the gold. To use the stick

He watches her from his side in the blood
Waiting for the holy call for her blood
Every moon she comes close to her Lord

Sick with suffering. The stench and filth of him
Death all around him. The flies, the dogs, the din

King of death and pain. Ruler of the slain
All in Gods name. Creatures for the maim

I'll come for you soon for my God is my want
Your eyes. Your face. An angel for the world to see
My God is my want

Sickle in hand. Over her I stand
Fear and love. Red and tears I see
My God is my want. My God is my want
My God is my want. My fucking God is my want

There he lay for his God. A final time
The silent one. Fallen son. A final night

    Why'd you delete the comment about you cutting off the best part of the song????

    J.... S....

    My apologies. This comment was supposed to be on another video of this song where the slice of Heaven at the end was cut off by a person without a god damn functioning set of ears, or maybe just a sick, burning desire to kill all that is decent in this worn out shoe we call Earth. Again, my sincere apologies.

    J.... S....

    you talk to your self ?

    J.... S....

    @gemxz ...No? This is a comment on someone else's video and then me apologizing to the same persin. Is it really that hard to put together?

    J.... S....

    I see, my bad.
