Story behind the song
The original version of this song was made years ago, but it has been a favourite ever since. This is just a remake with much, much better sound quality...
Lyrics
Underneath the Autumn moon,
the howling wind and dying trees,
I lay beside my dying bride,
my brittle tears to ease.
Embraced by amber foliage,
and screaming at the night,
ruing the day the demon came
and took away her light.
So chaotic in its stillness, this night so freshly worn...
I lay my head upon her breast, seeking solice in the storm.
The demon from the darkness,
The beast from the depths of hell,
The destroyer rejoices in chaos,
and laughs at the Taker's bell.
but tonight it rings for my lover,
my angel, my soul, my light,
And this rage, this lust for vengeance,
will draw more blood tonight.
As her soul is cast into darkness,
to whatever realms remain,
Either he or I or both
will escort her on her way.
Still one truth holds true, this night is not yet through
Still one truth holds true, this night is not yet through
I stand knee deep in the river,
driven to madness by the wind,
Tonight there will be no laughter,
For tonight the bell rings for him.
I lay her within the river,
as the fires within me burn.
Her angelic visage descends to depths
from which she'll not return.
In haste I return to the shore,
to the grass where rests the blade.
I smile as I press it into my throat
and forever send the demon away.
The demon from the darkness,
The beast from the depths of hell,
The destroyer rejoices in chaos,
and laughs at the Taker's bell.
but tonight it rings for my lover,
my angel, my soul, my light,
And this rage, this lust for vengeance,
will draw more blood tonight.
As her soul is cast into darkness,
to whatever realms remain,
Either he or I or both
will escort her on her way.
Still one truth holds true, this night is not yet through
Still one truth holds true, this night is not yet through
