Cold, pale moonlight
I've come to tell you,
My love,
I'm in death's embrace
Again
Sweet words of bitter solitude
Worlds collide
And dreams collapse
Cold, pale moonlight
My path has been lost
My love,
In an ocean of decaying
Darkness
Sweet words of bitter solitude
Worlds collide
And dreams collapse
I drown in warm corruption
In the innocence of mine
I've given in to the predator
Now I drown
Come to me,
My Dark Mistress
I lay down my pride
Like ashes at your feet
As I burn in the flames of your agony
Cold, pale moonlight
I've come to tell you
My love,
The predator won my heart
Again
Sweet words of bitter solitude
Like claws
Pushed under my skin
Come to me,
My Dark Mistress
I strip off my armor
To show you my real self
As I freeze in the cold of your
Misery
I drown in warm corruption
(You drown in warm corruption)
In the innocence of mine
(In the innocence of yours)
I've given in to the predator
(You’ve given in, my Mistress)
And now we drown

An awesome album start to finish. A perfect melding of gothic, melodic, and death metal. An album I truly get lost in, one of the best of 2020. Ravenna
