## Lyrics

Not long ago but far away

A rainy winter's day

All her pain she kept inside

Could no longer hide

No cry for help

She killed herself

Both life and love could not be saved

She took them both to the grave

To the grave

A pair of souls become undone

Where were two now one

Divided by this wall of death

I soon will join you yet

With my blood I'll find your love

You found the strength to end your life

As you did -- so shall I

Oh no

Please don't go

Please don't go

It's like a death

A death

A death in the family

Don't die

A crimson pool so warm and deep

Lulls me to an endless sleep

Your hand in mine - I will be brave

Take me from this earth

And end this night - this, the end of life

From the dark I feel your lips

And I taste your bloody kiss

Oh no

Please don't go

Oh no

Please don't go

Please don't go

Please don't go

Please don't

Please don't

Go

It's like a death

A death

A death in the family

It's like a death

A death

A death in the family

Don't die

on me

Don't die

on me

Don't die

on me

Don't die
