Lenore

    (LENORE)



(TRAGIC BASS OPENING)
So long ago,
My broken heart,
So long ago,
When she tore me apart-
(LOW GUITAR AND STEADY PIANO JOIN BASS)
I saw her face,
So full of Love,
Her Soul and Grace,
Sent from above-
(BASS, GUITAR, AND PIANO LEAD INTO DEPRESSING RIFF)
BEFORE MY HEART WAS TORN ASUNDER-
I WAS ALONE, THE EVIL HUNTER!
I SAW HER ALONE, BROKEN DOWN IN TEARS,
SO MUCH LIKE ME IN MY YOUNGER YEARS!
I SURRENDERED TO HER TOUCH,
I LOVED HER AND SHE LOVED MY SO MUCH!
WE WERE HAPPY FOR SO LONG!
MY AGONY WAS ALL BUT GONE!
NOW I TRY NOT TO THINK-
OF THE AGONY I FEEL INSIDE!
THE BREAKING CHAIN AT THE WEAKEST LINK-
MY BROKEN HEART FINALLY DIED!
I’VE GIVEN UP MY FEELING SINCE-
FROM LIFE, I HAD DELIVERANCE!
(REVERBERATING BASS BRIDGE)
YOU CAN NEVER BEGIN TO IMAGINE-
THE MISERY I FELT,
UNLESS YOU’VE BEEN ALONE-
WITHIN ETERNAL SORROW!
I TRY HARD NOT TO THINK-
WHERE I’D BE WITHOUT HER-
SOON THE SHIP WILL SINK-
INTO BLOODY WATER!
MY BROKEN HEART HAS SINCE-
FOUND DELIVERANCE!
IN ALL REPENTANCE-
MY DEVILERENCE!
(PIANO RE-JOINS BASS FOR TRAGIC INTERLUDE)
The Sorrow eternal-
I never forget-
This Hell infernal-
And my regret!
I lost my chance, my only Love!
THOUT SHALT NOT SEE HER RISE ABOVE!
She was mine, within this life!
I BROUGHT DEATH UNTO YOUR WIFE!
DELIVERANCE!!!!!!!
(DEPRESSING METAL GUITAR SOLO,)
MY BROKEN HEART HAS EVER SINCE-
WITHOUT DELIVERANCE!
SEE MY HEART AND CONSEQUENCE!
AND MY DELIEVERENCE!
THE DARK REVELATION!!!!
WITHOUT LIBERATION!!!!
DAMNATION!!!!
DELIVERANCE!!!!!!
DELIVERANCE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(----)
My broken heart is dying-
And though I am still crying-
So soon I will be met with Death-
And then I will have peaceful rest-
(WAILING GUITAR RIFF)
DEAD HEART LONELY!!!!!
MY SOUL ONLY!!!!!
UN-DEAD RAVEN!!!!!
SPIRIT GRAVEN!!!!!
FOREVERMORE REMEMBER HER, THE MAIDEN NAMED LENORE!!!!
(HEAVY BASS OUTRO)

A song written partially in tribute of the character from Edgar Allan Poe's poems, and about the death of the woman I loved, who's death was the event that set me on the path of the Dark Poet.

    My oh my- I had never read something like this. For someone that loves music, metal and Poe, I can tell you this rocks. Every word is still throbbing... I'm sorry for your loss.

  • A former member wrote: Compared to your other lyrics I've read so far, this one's a heart-wrenching ballad and my favourite. I love Poe, but this is not the only reason - it just sounds so desperate and depressing! I'd love to hear this with music!
