Somnus - Lament For Winter's Passing

In a lifeless shroud of cold she now lies A divinity, with beauty unmatched Bewitched by the Goddess of the dark moon Her twilight season now faded to black Torn from grace by a selfish decree The only light for the dark realm below Crowned Queen of the Kingdom of the Dead Against her will, her innocence spent No, don’t take her from me Don’t you hear her tortured screams? No, don’t leave me here To see her only in my dreams Alone, she walks the blossoming fields Unaware of the malevolence lurking below By the hands of a god, the world turned to black The land and time stood frozen with death A chariot drawn by coal black horses Emerges from the ice-covered ground The dark mist of Hades encircles her form And invites her soul to the chasm below With each passing hour the sky grows dim The last gleams of life fade away The earth lay swept by a white seraphim Transformed by her season of despair No, don’t leave me here To live by myself No, don’t leave me here To live in this frozen realm
