A Doomed Lover Songtext
von My Dying Bride

Your unbreathing, unbreathing sleep
Our dreamless bed is mine to keep
In my eyes and frozen arms
Nothing lives ′cept my harm

Now you're worn, worn with years
Years and sorrows like saints with arrows
Once again, I see a man
I watch him die with a humble sigh


Calm this tide, tide of sorrow
He leads me away and I follow

Sighs and then slumbers, wakes and sighs again
Opens up the eyes, sees the ghost again
Our dying love, it prays in vain to live
And pleads for help, I simply cannot give

My devoted love takes tiny backward steps away
Loneliness aplenty spread before me

My devoted love takes tiny backward steps away
Loneliness aplenty spread before me
