Lady Death

I travel lonely to find my love In the stygian caves i crawl Searching for the chthonic gate Across the moonlit elysian fields And a sea of boiling blood Through a forest of bone In the shadows of eternal night I wonder along listening to an owl’s song On my way to meet lady death Santa Muerte we called her Our lady of holy death I knew her only as “my love’ That is all I cared to be The gods had scorned me But she reveled with me We played secret games in the moonlight We played the game of death and life, courage and sacrifice Even though scorned was I But all to soon the call had came And the Widows horse had spun her away Into the inky shadow of night she faded on the darksome wind Riding the ghostly horse away from her friend How I miss her my love So now i seek to find the Widows keep To propose a union between death and life Ever so meek gladly I would speak Although I be of the clan of man, I will still gladly offer my hand My heart is yours, my soul to stay And walk beside you every night and day Through weal and woe as chance may be I myself shall be true to you and never be so low I shall never cheat and never meet any other that is your equal Or so I believe So I walk through a mirrored hall of silvered glass Lit by candle light amidst the waters of death To meet with the queen of the keep The dark of night Widows Sleep
