Theatre of Tragedy - A Distance There Is

Come in out of the rain thou sayest -
But thou ne'er stept'st aside;
And I am trapp'd - A distance there is...
None, save me and the bodkin - pitter-patter on the roof;
Behold! - 'tis not the rain; thence me it has to be -
I will not drink thy vintage wine, my dear;
Thou hast heed'd that I am of innocence,
Yet thou let'st thy lass into peril -
Thou let'st me be parched;
My heart is of frailty, my pale skin is hued damask.
When thou thy tears hast hidden,
"Come back!" thou sayest - There I soon am to be -
But how am I to run when my bones, my heart
Thou hast me bereaft - But run thou sayest;
I run - And there and then I behold
That a time will come when I again dead will be.
Thou tell'st me to leave without delay -
I leave with my bodkin and my tears in my hands;
Lo! - the shadows, the sky - descending;
So by a dint of smite I gait ere I run and melt together with dusk.
In my mind in which is this event,
But it seems as if naught is to change anyway?!
After all these years thou left'st me down in the emotional depths -
The sombre soaked velvet-drape is hung upon me,
Turning my feelings away from our so ignorant world;
All the beautiful moments shared, deliberately push'd aside -
...a distance there is...

[Synthetikdarkness]

This song paints a vivid picture in the most desolate part of my mind. Almost like revisiting an overlooked memory of a past life...

[Myworld1916]

You say Nikki Yanofsky, I shout Nightwish

You say Hannah Montana, I shout After Forever

You say Taylor Swift, I shout Theatre Of Tragedy

You say those love songs about these signers are the best, I shout gothic love songs owes the world!

You say pop drama romance is better, I shout gothic drama romance describes better the situation

If you transmit this message, you shall save our era from the pop romance junk we always hear on the radio!

PLZ, admit this example is one of the greatest!

Been some number of months since I last heard this song, and it still does not cease to strike me how absolutely beautiful it is.
