Lyrics:
Eternity’s a gift, they say
To never cross the veil
This life I try to savor
And I try to no avail
Curse that mortal brevity
Which has rent you from my arms
Curse this cold eternity
Without you to keep me warm

Your never-ending elegy
Is a ballad with no melody
As empty as I, now you’ve passed me by
A blessing? No, a malady

Why do roses bloom in spring
Only to wither and die?
You were all that was good in me
Now back to darkness go I
Take with you my sanity
Better madness than the pain of my want
All my effort is vanity
And I hear the raven’s taunt

Your never-ending elegy
Is a ballad with no melody
As empty as I, now you’ve passed me by
A blessing? No, a malady
My eternal malady
