Death and the Maiden Lyrics

A voiceless whisper

“Come, dance with me”

A skeleton hand caresses my pale face

Go and leave me alone

Is this the moment of my goodbye?

I am still too young

To definitely fulfil my destiny

I’m gonna take you far

Away from here

Down in the shadows of the deep

Don?t be afraid

I’m not an enemy for you

Resign to me

Among white roses you will lie

Into my arms you will forever sleep

Oooooh…

Please let my heart beat again

Caught into your embrace

Angel of darkness

Dies my flesh still untouched

Oh please

Let me go, tell me that

It’s just a nightmare

May your sickle of fire have mercy on my soul

Your lifeless caress

Longs for my skin

A silk too pure and white to lose its shine

Taking my last breath

I’m paralyzed in this coil that drags me

Oh I can’t escape

The way your awful call’s seducing me

Surrender to my words

And follow me

There in the kingdom of the damned

Forget the fear

Let my dark wings embrace you

The time has come

Your spirit be forever mine

Our last dance will last for eternity

Oooooh…

Please let my heart beat again

Caught into your embrace

Angel of darkness

Dies my flesh still untouched

Oh please

Let me go, tell me that

It’s just a nightmare

May your sickle of fire have mercy on my soul

Like a candle burned too fast

Like the first snow melted by the sun

Too soon I’m living this world

Please let my heart beat again

Caught into your embrace

Angel of darkness

Dies my flesh still untouched

Oh please

Let me go, tell me that

It’s just a nightmare

May your sickle of fire have mercy on my soul

Caught into your embrace

Angel of darkness

Cries my soul for the last time

So now

Lay me down in my grave

Bury my prayer

My cry will resound in hell until the end of time
