Words & Music by Aaron R. Walker

lyrics

My home by the Western Woods did surely forever change
Once I beheld your eyes so deep and dark and cold and strange
The magnetic moonlight misted through the atmosphere
A far-flung recollection surfaced as you did appear

As we wandered through the shadows many days passed on by
And somehow you still remained a mystery to my eyes
Tragedy had brought you thence and in tragedy you went
Your rhymes circle ’round my mind as I wonder what you meant

O Carmilla do not cry, for you hold me in a trance
There is only you and I as we dance this funeral dance
You hold your cheek to mine and murmur like a lullaby
“I live in your warm life and you shall die sweetly die –
Into Mine”

The Western Woods call to my heart as I remember you
I see ghosts and fearful visions and can’t tell which is true
A feline foot falls on the floor in melancholy dreams
I lie within your languid limbs and nothing’s what it seems

At times I see your beauty in the faces of the dead
And I feel your lips upon me all full and bloody-red
A pain strikes deep into my breast as sharp as it is clean
Like the story of the asp and that great Egyptian Queen

O Carmilla do not cry for you hold me in a trance
There is only you and I as we dance this funeral dance
You hold your cheek to mine and murmur like a lullaby
“I live in your warm life and you shall die sweetly die –
Into Mine”
