Annihilator - Ligeia Lyrics
Edgar Allen Poe's strange tale of a gentleman whose true love succumbs to a fatal illness, is retold in the true fashion of the bizarre. A dreamy, drug induced state is no escape from the pain felt after losing his beautiful Ligeia. In time, he remarries. Soon after, however, wife number two falls ill and becomes comatosed. Life now drained from her body, an odd cry is heard from her death bed. The eyes stare back... Ligeia is reborn."I do not remember, where we did meetLengthened years have built my mind, memories undeoYet with instability one thing stands too clearLady perfection, mystery, of whom I shed a tearAirwoven divinity, mind, soul in victoryCured of her malady, could this be my lost;LigeiaAirwoven divinity, mind, soul in victoryCured of her malady, could this be my lost;LigeiaSickness fell upon Ligeia, all knew she would dieMidnight came to lay her rest, farewellOpium dreams, grief-stricken years, I took another brideReplacing that which I did have, Ligeia whyAirwoven divinity, mind, soul in victoryCured of her malady, could this be my lost;LigeiaAirwoven divinity, mind, soul in victoryCured of her malady, could this be my lost;LigeiaChronic disease, my luck cursedMy new wife has diedComing from her bed of death, I thought I heard her cryCould a corpse cold, stiff, sedate, sob in the bed it lieApproaching her, I chilled to stone, for it did swiftly riseI can never be mistaken, there were, they were Ligeia's eyesAirwoven divinity, mind, soul in victoryCured of her malady, could this be my lost;LigeiaAir woven divinity, tears shed, vitalityCured of her malady, yet this is my lost
