Heart of Ebony
The Blood Divine Lyrics

Alone, but for your Celeste
I am alone, except for your memory, Celeste.

At your reverent feet, I rest
I find comfort and solace by being close to your memory, Celeste.

And plead forgiveness
I come before you with a plea for forgiveness.

I face the blinding sun
I confront the brightness of the sun, perhaps as a symbol of my struggles.

And ask for my last rites
I hope for an end, a final release from my troubles and pain.

Oh, Celeste... forgive me
I address Celeste again, hoping to be forgiven and released from pain.

Sunset
A time of day that represents a transition, or perhaps an end, to something.

To bathe in your milky red radiance
To be surrounded by the beauty and comfort of Celeste's memory.

Like a God
As if the memory of Celeste is a deity or higher power.

Illuminates, enraptures, captivates
The memory of Celeste brings light, enchantment, and fascination.

Woe
A feeling of great sadness or distress.

The grey clouds are shedding tears
Rain or tears are falling from the sky, possibly mirroring the artist's emotions.

Oh, how they weep
The clouds are expressing a great sorrow or mourning.

I share their grief, and so do you
The singer and Celeste both feel the same sadness and sorrow, perhaps sharing a common loss.

I know... and you know
Both the singer and Celeste are aware of the sadness and loss they share.

It is clear the storms are everlasting
The turbulent emotions and struggles the artist faces seem never-ending and enduring.

And forever...
These struggles will always continue, with no end in sight.

The unspoken heart of ebony
There is a hidden or unexpressed aspect of the singer's feelings, possibly linked to Celeste's memory.

The unbroken heart of ebony
Despite the struggles and pain, the singer's heart remains unbroken or undamaged.

The undying heart of ebony...
The artist's emotions may endure indefinitely, perhaps linked to their love for Celeste.

Seems to beat not for me
Despite the enduring emotions, the artist feels as if Celeste's memory is no longer with them.

Oh, Woe...
The artist addresses their sorrow and distress once again.

The grey clouds cast a shadow overhead
The sadness and mourning continues to loom over the singer, like an oppressive shadow.

The last sunset, your fall I dread
The final transition or end of something is approaching, which brings fear and apprehension for the artist.

On bruised and bended knees
The singer is in a position of submission, perhaps expressing their vulnerability and need for mercy.

I throw my hands to my face
The singer may be expressing their despair or loss of hope.

And I tear shreds of skin away, in vain
The singer may be physically harming themselves as a way to cope with their emotional pain, but it ultimately brings no relief.

Forgive me.
The artist closes by repeating their plea for forgiveness, perhaps hoping for closure and release from their pain.
