The Death of Love

Accordi The Death of Love

Intro:
REm

Parlato:
Her penultimate sighs called softly 
on the kindling wind
Her saintly eyes filling with tears, 
lifting with truth
And then a golden flash like the onset of heaven
Leaving her screams breaking my heart
And in the grip of fire I knew the death of love

from the highest above

To Lord upon the slaughter 

like a sword through hissing water
