The Blackened Memory - Annabel Lee
[verse] By the sea, where the waves crash cold and gray, Annabel Lee, my heart, stole my soul away. Kingdom of dreams, we loved in the salt and spray, Her eyes like stars, lit my night, turned dark to day. But the heavens got jealous, sent a wind so cruel, Chilled her breath, took her life, left me playin’ the fool. Now the tide sings her name, calls me back to the shore, Love won’t die, though she’s gone, I’m hers evermore. [chorus] Annabel Lee, my heart’s still chained to you, By the sea, where our love stays forever true. Angels tried to break us, but they’ll never win, In the waves, in the dark, our love lives again. [verse] Moonlight falls, on the cliffs, where her shadow lies, Her voice in the wind, soft whispers, never dies. They locked her in stone, in a tomb by the deep, But I creep to her side, where the ocean waves weep. No grave holds our bond, no death tears us apart, Her name’s carved in my soul, etched deep in my heart. Every night, I return, to the sand and the foam, By her side, in the dark, that cold crypt is my home. [chorus] Annabel Lee, my heart’s still chained to you, By the sea, where our love stays forever true. Angels tried to break us, but they’ll never win, In the waves, in the dark, our love lives again. [bridge] Stars burn cold, since they stole her light from me, Sea’s my witness, Annabel, our love’s eternity. No angel’s wrath, no storm, can break what we swore, I’ll defy the heavens, love you forevermore. [verse] Tide pulls back, but my heart won’t let her go, Ghosts in the mist, her face in the pale moon's flow. Kingdom by the sea, where we laughed, where we dreamed, Now a graveyard of hopes, but her love’s still my theme. I lie by her tomb, feel her soul in the breeze, Whisper her name, let it carry on seas. Death’s a lie, ‘cause our love burns brighter than fate, Annabel Lee, my forever, I’ll wait. [chorus] Annabel Lee, my heart’s still chained to you, By the sea, where our love stays forever true. Angels tried to break us, but they’ll never win, In the waves, in the dark, our love lives again.
