I've got a romance with death, How sweet the sound. How sweet the fragrance, On the roadside I've found. It lay with its head, At ninety degrees. It is my bride, A lovely disease. A kiss on the lips, Cold and dry. The voice of a whisper, No ears could deny. So with the dead I sleep, The living I walk. The breathing i eat, The resting I talk.
A marriage I've proposed, While heavens doors are still closed.
I look up to my God, Down to the dead. I lay in a coffin, Needless of a bed. Engaged now I am, Under an ember rivers sky. I now have the plague, But I will never die.
Christ.
Look at my decay, How my teeth have left their state. How my love is on a journey, How these deaths are out of date. I miss the dead aroma, Oh, I need the smell. It's the closest to death that we can get, The stench of hell.
Jesus is dead, But I will never die. The children have bled, But I hold up the ******* Sky.
