In the crypts where shadows dwell,
Where moonlight falters and spirits swell,
A lover's promise, carved in stone,
Bound in blood, eternally alone.
Echoes of a fated affair,
Two souls entwined in a sinister snare,
Their hearts engulfed by flames of desire,
A love that ignites from the depths of fire.
She roams the night, a phantom bride,
At his side, where darkness abides,
No earthly bond, no sacred plea,
Could break the chain they chose to decree.
For in his gaze, she glimpsed the abyss,
A heart consumed, lost in darkness' kiss,
Yet within that void, she found her role,
A twisted love, a chilling console.
Their kiss, a covenant with death's embrace,
Renouncing light for shadow's grace,
In every caress, the grave draws near,
Yet love does not retreat into the darkness.
At the foot of the cross, beneath the night,
They intone the hymn, the lover's rite,
A vow to seal, till time be slain,
Two hearts together, in eternal reign.
No seraphs sing, no Heaven's radiant glow,
But only infinite, endless woe;
Yet in that night their love will stay,
A ghostly waltz that strays not away.
So let them waltz, let them reign,
In the shadowy land of love's divide,
Because in this world, harsh and dim,
Their love, though accursed, shall never grow grim.
