The Crown of Sympathy - My Dying Bride

See the light and feel my warm desire

Run through my veins like the evening sun

It will live but no eyes will see it

I’ll bless your name before I die

No person in everything can shine

Yet shine you did, for the world to see

All a man hath will he give for life?

For life that’s lost bleeds all over me

I’d fallen before but it never hurt like this

Don’t leave me here to crawl through the mire

I’m without fault before the throne of god

Take from me the crown of sympathy

What do you think you’ll see?

what do you think there will be?

Sit down, did you see the sun?

What will we become?

Great ones?

The mouths that dare not speak his name

Behold them, raised, complete and fine

The battle for our lives is oh, so brief

Take my hand and please walk with me

When I was young the sun did burn my face

I let its love and warmth wash over me

The melting voice of many, in the hush of night

Whispering tongues can poison my honest truth

Come dress me with your body, and comfort me

I dreamt of a dead child in my sleep

I wear a terrible mark in my head

My clean, white bed, it calls to me, I must lie down

And I want you to lay with me, in sympathy

No sad adieus on a balcony, for one last time, just walk with me

At the beautiful gate of the temple, we must be saved

For deadened, icy pain covers all the earth
