I Cover You with Blood

A dream of love, of soft carrion
Left in a field to dissolve
A dream of hope, never again
Begin at the end, only to fail
Helplessly hurt, hopeless to heal
Search for the truth all in vain

I cover you with blood, you cover me with wounds
I cover you with wounds, you cover me with blood

A dream of love, of soft treachery
Your exquisite collapse in my arms
There through the mist the tyrants of memory
Are flogging a horse, dead in the rain
Wasting away in dark oblivion
Chained to the stake I drove through your heart
