Heathcliff's Lament Lyrics


“I pray one prayer, I repeat it until my tongue stiffens…”

“Cathy Earnshaw, may you not rest… not while I'm living…”

Here I stand, looking out across the barren moors alone

Waiting for the day my Cathy will come home

When the night falls, I feel the bitter kiss

Your tender affections thinly disguise death upon your lips

How am I to be?

When your loving eyes I cannot see?

How am I to live?

“Cathy…”

Reach out to me

“Cathy…”

Take me with you

Set me free

“I cannot live without my life…”

“I cannot live without my soul…”

I live on, through the years that come

Cruelty consumes me more with each day that you're gone

Hatred stains my heart, tears stain my face

Waiting for the day I too feel death's embrace

How am I to be?

When your loving eyes I cannot see?

How am I to live?

“Cathy…”

Reach out to me

“Cathy…”

Take me with you

Set me free

“You said I killed you… haunt me, then…”

“Be with me always…”

“Take any form, drive me mad…”

“Only do not leave me in this abyss, where I cannot find you…”

“Do come... do come my love… do come Cathy… do come…”
