Lyrics - Umbra by Elend

Seconde
Leçon
We entered the heart of darkness.
And in the dead of light,
The
Seventh
Angel poured his vial into the air.
Embosomed in my
Temple is a statue bereft of life.
Sweet umberbird, lighten her eyes lest she sleeps the sleep of death,
For she has seen the
Face of
God and her life must be preserved.
We met
Luvadea,
Daughter of mine,
And crowned her with emeralds and innocence.
But she was wearing the cobalt raiment of the
Angel of
Death.
Your bloodstained hair sears me in a sea of snakes,
A sun of amaranths,
With rays crawling on the
Fields of
Tears.
Adorn me in your torpid
Temple
And forgive me if
I cannot wake this dormant smile in your eyes.
The
Cyllenian god did love my sweet music forlorn.
Elohim,
Elohim
Sabaoth,
Eloï
Shaddaï,
Adonaï,
When the
Sun remains silent,
I will lay my angels down,
For the
Arch of my
Temple is a parchment of blood.
Even
Death has fled from me.
I have seen the
Face of
God
And yet my life has been preserved.
The
Bride of the
Lamb poured herself into me.
And
Despair fell on us,
As if we had entered the heart of darkness...
