Lyrics[]
Not long ago but far away
A rainy winter's day
All her pain she kept inside
Could no longer hide
No cry for help
She killed herself
Both life and love could not be saved
She took them both to the grave
To the grave
A pair of souls become undone
Where were two now one
Divided by this wall of death
I soon will join you yet
With my blood I'll find your love
You found the strength to end your life
As you did -- so shall I
Oh no
Please don't go
Please don't go
It's like a death
A death
A death in the family
Don't die
A crimson pool so warm and deep
Lulls me to an endless sleep
Your hand in mine - I will be brave
Take me from this earth
And end this night - this, the end of life
From the dark I feel your lips
And I taste your bloody kiss
Oh no
Please don't go
Oh no
Please don't go
Please don't go
Please don't go
Please don't
Please don't
Go
It's like a death
A death
A death in the family
It's like a death
A death
A death in the family
Don't die
on me
Don't die
on me
Don't die
on me
Don't die
