Ebony Embrace Lyrics


She dwells in beauty - and all beauty must die

time to say good-bye

and joy, whose hand is on her lips

and aching pleasure´s sigh.

Her eyes are like a dying star

her face adorned with mud

and silver lurks within her hair

white lids already shut.

O, soft embalmer of the still midnight

bringer of darkness - seal my eye.

Enter death, the gleams of daylight

fall into my dreams as I die.

She dwells in beauty - and all beauty must die

time to say good-bye

and joy, whose hand is on her lips

and aching pleasure´s sigh.

How sweet she keeps her secret

hidden in her ashen lap

her face embalmed with vanity

she fell into my trap.
