The Frail Ophelias - Lady, My Love Lyrics

Oh Lady my love, what have we done
Lay hold of a crown, let go of a dove
The dead sleep in peace while we rot here above

Oh Lady my love, what have you become
A heartbeat of rage, rings out like a drum
Bitter your kiss, the taste on my tongue

They don't now the half of it
These sleepwalking dreams of daggers and kings
They can't feel the heat of it
This cauldron of lies and the smoke in our eyes

Oh Lady my queen, how bloody the rain
When the fear's washed away all that's left is the pain
The thing about death: it can sure leave a stain

Oh Lady don't lie, can the devil speak true
With violent hands, you're black and you're blue
They burned it all down, nothing's left here for you

I can't bear the weight of this
Watching you fall into madness and gall
I cant bear the thought of it
Dying without you around

Oh Lady, my love I heard the refrain
With a blade of regret you opened a vein
How can you leave me to shoulder the pain

Lady, don't leave me...
