Love Lies Bleeding

Love Lies Bleeding - The Amazing Blondel

Savour the kiss for love lies bleeding

The horn neath her rose pricks your pleading

The end so gently comes disguised in pity

That flower once warm sublime falls bereft in decline

Blue mantle of night soothe my fears

Love's enduring fight perseveres

And she cuts to the very quick and love lies bleeding

The sting in her blade pares your needing

In vain you staunch the flow of wounded memories

That bloom supreme regaled bows it's head love's impaled

Love's watermark flows through your veins

Crimson so dark each drop ingrains each spot remains

She delivers the coup de grace

And love lies bleeding

Don't parry the blow concede

Love died young spirit's freed

Blue mantle of night soothe my fears

Love's enduring fight perseveres
