Theatre Of Tragedy - Hollow Hearted Heart Departed lyrics
Your rating:
With lore ornament?d entreating; Hollow heart?d, heart-depart?d - Yet thou reapest the blooming rose - When 'tis the weed which is to be swath'd -- I do in the blooming flower pleasure find! And me in the yesterday's blind?! -- Innocence is reserved for the meek: -- Of naught is my grasp ne'er to be! Hah! - for thee even a hound holdeth the throne. Unwant?d child of mother! - Plague of plagues! Father of leprous children. I wield ye to stint this brawl! Nigh is the ford - yet harken! - do not thwart! Desirest thou to do it withal, I shall cause thy body by one head too short! sayest ye nay to my boon; Then wilt thou from bloodshed swoon! -- Err me not! - Must ye bethink my foolhardiness! -- Be vanish?d! - Be banish?d! - -- If ye deemest me not wroth. -- My hand hieth to unsheathe the sword -- Lest thou tost totter - -- Whid along! - Wherefore irk my haughtiness? No man... No man at all!, -- Wherefore bereave Be it lord or beggar -- The kine of the sward? Bereaveth my dignity! -- Wherefore holdest thou for -- Me such quailing scowl? Loom my darling sun - Bear the scarlet colour
