The Cruxshadows - MONUMENT Lyrics
I never wrote you a love songSomehow words could not express what I needed to sayAnd so I never wrote you a love songAnd now it's much, much too late 'cause you've gone awayBut I will build this monumentTo remember all the love we once hadAnd I'll close my eyes and make it how it used to beI swear I never stopped loving you with everything I amAnd it hurts so much to think you stopped loving meYou stopped loving meSo I wish that I'd had written you a love songAnd somehow you understood what it feels to be meBecuase the Angel loves the sprite foreverAnd does it unconditionallyBut I will build this monumentTo remember all the love we once hadAnd I'll close my eyes and make it how it used to beI swear I never stopped loving you with everything I amAnd it hurts so much to think you stopped loving meYou stopped loving meI met a lady in the meadsFull beautiful --- a faery's child;Her hair was long, her foot was light,And her eyes were wild.I made a garland for her head,And bracelets too, and fragrant zone;She look'd at me as she did love,And made sweet moan.I set her on my pacing steed,And nothing else saw all day long;For sideways would she lean, and singA faery's song.She found me roots of relish sweet,And honey wild, and manna dew;And sure in language strange she said,'I love thee true.'She took me to her elfin grot,And there she wept and sighed full sore,And there I shut her wild wild eyesWith kisses four.And there she lulled me asleep,And there I dream'd --- ah! woe betide! ---The latest dream I ever dreamtOn the cold hill side.I saw pale kings, and princes too,Pale warriors, death-pale were they all;They cried --- 'La Belle Dame sans MerciHath thee in thrall!'I saw their starved lips in the gloamWith horrid warning gaped wide,And I awoke, and found me hereOn the cold hill side.And this is why I sojourn here,Alone and palely loitering;Though the sedge is wither'd from the lake,And no birds sing.
