Marc Almond - Remorse of the Dead (Remords posthume) lyrics
[Marc Almond - Remorse of the Dead Remords posthume lyrics]
My dark beloved when you lie asleep
Deep within your black marble tomb
For alcove and lodge
You will keep a damp, dripping vault
A pit of gloom
And when the stone weighing down your breast
And your thighs once supple
Through scant concern stills your heart
From it's desiring quest fastens your feet
From the reckless run
The grave, which shares my eternal dream
For the poet the grave always understands
During long nights when sleep is far away
Will ask: what do you gain you dumb whore
Not to have known what the dead cry for?
And, like remorse
At your flesh worms will gnaw
Deep within your black marble tomb
For alcove and lodge
You will keep a damp, dripping vault
A pit of gloom
And when the stone weighing down your breast
And your thighs once supple
Through scant concern stills your heart
From it's desiring quest fastens your feet
From the reckless run
The grave, which shares my eternal dream
For the poet the grave always understands
During long nights when sleep is far away
Will ask: what do you gain you dumb whore
Not to have known what the dead cry for?
And, like remorse
At your flesh worms will gnaw
