Siebenburgen - Thy Sister Thee Crimson Wed lyrics

rate me

On a night in late October<br />

Just before the time of dawn<br />

Thou went into thy sisters' chamber<br />

And seduced thy own blood<br />

<br />

Through her window, in late October<br />

Moon were changing into sun<br />

Thee left thy bride, cold and silent<br />

Sleeping, resting until next time<br />

<br />

Longing for her precious beauty<br />

Her darkened hair and pale white skin<br />

No more resting for the wicked<br />

Even in thy own cold grave<br />

<br />

Suddenly, in late October<br />

Another night, a different time<br />

A curse was spelled, woe to thee<br />

Her neck was poisoned by a cross<br />

<br />

With tired eyes she looked upon<br />

Thou, her sister, late and fair<br />

Standing close her maiden bed<br />

With fearful gaze, and spiteful smile<br />

<br />

With cold pale fingers, she now dragged<br />

The scornful cross from the bleeding neck<br />

Joined her sister, in late October<br />

United on this silent night<br />

<br />

A pact beyond both grave and death<br />

Sleeping beside her very own flesh<br />

Since this night, forever and ever<br />

Thy sister thee eternally wed<br />

<br />

"...Seduced by her sinful treasures<br />

On her lifeblood thee was fed<br />

Embraced by her nightly pleasures<br />

Thy sister thee crimson wed..."
