On whom the moon doth shine (unhum mix)


"Had I what it taketh, I would do;
I sense - I cannot sense,
I am - yet! I am not -
Once I kiss'd the image
Of the Seven Angels of Death..."

"Then, lo! the Bleak Death,
Serpent-like 'twixt the breasts crept:
Hush'd with a gasp of life's breath,
Together red tears they wept,
And pass'd the procession of dancers dead -
As in darkness were we lock'd in wed."

"And Hell open'd its doors,
Yet what was 'fore my eyes
But if not the brightest light."
"O soft embalmer of ye still midnight,
Allow me thee to adown,
Of any sort thou fancieth;
Each holdeth its own fancy, I say -
Yet the pleasure we partake in
Was caus'd by the fang'd grin,
Save!, do I for him anger hold?:
Nay - I knew I was fey!"

"Yet as thou so didst,
On my lips a kiss land©d,
And with the shadows blend©d
The tendermost silken mourn.;
In which the light hidden is -
Yon Hell's brazen doors
Wrothfully it trieth to push."

"Hush'd with a gasp of life's breath,
Together red tears we wept - in vain,
And pass'd the procession of dancers dead -
As in darkness were we lock'd in wed:
I kiss'd the Seven Angels of Death."

"Yet what was 'fore my eyes
But if not the brightest light."

Biografia

Theatre of Tragedy is a Norwegian band from Stavanger, formed in 1993 and known for its early albums that significantly influenced the gothic metal genre. The group used a vocal contrast between male bass vocals (occasionally using death growls) and female soprano singing (commonly referred to as "Beauty and the Beast" vocals). In the first three albums, lyrics were predominantly written in Early Modern English. Starting with the album *Musique*, Theatre of Tragedy underwent drastic changes in style, becoming significantly influenced by industrial rock, abandoning Early Modern English writing and death growls in the process. The band split on October 2nd, 2010, after 17 years.
