The Blackened Memory - Ligeia

[chorus]
Ligeia, my dark queen, rise from the tomb tonight,
Love defies the reaper’s blade, burns eternal light.
Your will outlives the flesh, calls me through the pain,
I’ll tear the heavens down, bring you back again.

[verse]
Rowena came, pale and frail, a ghost in Ligeia’s place,
But her touch was ice, no fire, no trace of that grace.
Nights I dream of raven eyes, hear whispers in the gloom,
Ligeia’s laugh echoes soft, from beyond the room.
Potions brew, rituals hum, candles flicker low,
Rowena fades, body weak, as Ligeia’s power grows.
Shrouds fall away, midnight strikes, her form begins to rise,
Love’s conquest over death, reflected in her eyes.

[bridge]
No god, no grave can hold what love has sworn to keep,
Ligeia’s will, unbreakable, drags her from the deep.
Rowena’s shell collapses, empty, cold, and still,
My Ligeia stands reborn—death bends to her will.

[verse]
She breathes again, eyes ablaze, victory over night,
But something’s wrong—her gaze too wild, too fierce, too bright.
Love’s price is paid in shadows, obsession’s bitter cost,
Ligeia lives, but in her win, my soul is lost.
Abbey walls close in, her laugh now chills my core,
Resurrected queen, but I ain’t sure what I brought back for.
Eternal love, eternal curse—together evermore.

[verse] Abbey shadows swallow light, her eyes like midnight seas, Ligeia’s voice, a siren’s call, brought my soul to knees. Raven hair cascades like fate, will stronger than the grave, Love carved deep, eternal vow, no death could ever save. Fever took her breath away, left me in the cold, But her spirit lingers near, in every shadow bold. I pace these halls, chant her name, feel her in the air, Death’s just a veil—Ligeia, I’ll bring you back from there. [chorus] Ligeia, my dark queen, rise from the tomb tonight, Love defies the reaper’s blade, burns eternal light. Your will outlives the flesh, calls me through the pain, I’ll tear the heavens down, bring you back again.
