The Return of the Beautiful Songtext
von My Dying Bride

Oh, beautiful Earth
For too long you have been silent
Touch me once again
The dark ground lies cold
Et gelidus hoc voluntas firmamentum

Hark
Yes, it is I
The fever of mankind
Urges, whorish as ever
I am the new Christ

Silence yourself, Nunquam
You are powerless here
Pityful one, pity me not
Give back the Sun

Souls will mourn
In this unending season of darkness
Beware, ravaged one
Mine is the might


If you′re feeble, turn away
No dagger glints in my hand
Technique is secret
She gave herself to me
Liar!

Please leave
I think I'll close my eyes now
The first sunshine was mine
Look for me among the flowers

Sleeping with the earth
My dying bride
The pity I fashion
Through a rain of tears

A tragic opus
Immeasurable loss
Tearful I rest
Bask in my growing sorrow

The female is such exquisite hell
Lay my obscure hands upon you
Macabre, erotica, passion
Even in death, beauty is with you


I extol you with loud praise
You will grace my procession
Why shouldn′t I indulge
In my own desires?

Bare your breasts to slow kisses
Away bastard dog Nunquam

Who are you that lies dying
Right beside the river?

Away, bastard dog (Nunquam)
Down from your throne (Nunquam)
A dagger glints in my hand (am I afraid?)
You'll perish alone

Pray to me, blasphemy
Cry on me, die on me
Let me out, let me out, let me out
Let me out

Suffer in your nakedness
Before your dark art
The filth and the stench of you
Is hell in itself (I cry for you)

Your reign is now over (ha)
The sunlight will return
To this once pertified earth
Ego deicere tu pereant

Make me faint with unending kisses
My passions have all returned
Warm my trembling hands
We are scope for the tragedians

I can see from your smile
You're not here for the sunset
