Ligeia

i do not remember, where we did meet

lengthened years have built my mind, memories undeo

yet with instability one thing stands too clear

lady perfection, mystery, of whom i shed a tear



airwoven divinity, mind, soul in victory

cured of her malady, could this be my lost;

ligeia



airwoven divinity, mind, soul in victory

cured of her malady, could this be my lost;

ligeia



sickness fell upon ligeia, all knew she would die

midnight came to lay her rest, farewell

opium dreams, grief-stricken years, i took another bride

replacing that which i did have, ligeia why



airwoven divinity, mind, soul in victory

cured of her malady, could this be my lost;

ligeia



airwoven divinity, mind, soul in victory

cured of her malady, could this be my lost;

ligeia



chronic disease, my luck cursed

my new wife has died



coming from her bed of death, i thought i heard her cry

could a corpse cold, stiff, sedate, sob in the bed it lie

approaching her, i chilled to stone, for it did swiftly rise

i can never be mistaken, there were, they were ligeia's eyes



airwoven divinity, mind, soul in victory

cured of her malady, could this be my lost;

ligeia



air woven divinity, tears shed, vitality

cured of her malady, yet this is my lost
