non omnis moriar

Cradle Of Filth

Do not weep
I will drift to hauntless sleep

Lay my weary head prostate before the awning
Spread my crow black sails
Against the sunset, dressed to part the veil
A led parade of shades upon Death s dawning

Non omnis Moriar
Not all of me shall die
For I shall leave my heart with thee
Before I kiss thy precious lips goodbye

Until we re borne
Together in the evermore, my darling
One final time
I will take this hand in mine
Drowning in brown eyes
That ghost-jewelled shoreline

Fate adorn me, do not mourn me
For I wait beyond the gates of slumber
In my Avalon, in our Avalon
Strength to carry on before the great penumbra
Here

Plant a tree
Deep upon my silent grave
Think of me in spring s embrace, when sadness lingers
Feeding earthen grails
Fresh roots I nurture
And blessed with life s rebirth
I take the sacred ring from winter s finger

Non omnis Moriar
Not all of me shall die
Cast off all trace of doubt in me
Before I kiss thy precious lips goodbye

Until we re borne
Together in the evermore, my darling
One final time
I will take this hand in mine
Drowning in brown eyes
That ghost the jewelled shoreline

Fate adorn me, do not mourn me
For I wait beyond the gates of slumber
In my Avalon, in our Avalon
Strength to carry on before the great penumbra
Here

I have not gone, life s majestic song
Swims on the wind that stirs autumnal leaves here
Come dry thy tears, my hand is near
These sterling years have forged a bond
That still, that still lives on

That still lives on
That still, that still lives on
