A Romance With The Grave
The Vision Bleak Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
In picturesque light
Lies peaceful, still
A burial site
The gateway creaks
I scare myself
Some doubtful peeks
Ancient ground
And mossy rocks
A smell unsound
A grave unlocks
Oldest sin
Palest skin
Ageless grin
Death!
Ruthless Lust
Without disgust
Dirt and dust
A romance with the grave
The fog lies thick
And moon does rise
Her antique chique
Glares in my eyes
A first shy kiss
And silent moans
In the abyss
The coffin groans
In close embrace
Desires deep
And for her grace
In joy I weep
Oldest sin
Palest skin
Ageless grin
Death!
Ruthless Lust
Without disgust
Dirt and dust
A romance with the grave
The Vision Bleak's song "A Romance With The Grave" is a gothic masterpiece that speaks about a macabre love story. The song starts off by painting a picture of a peaceful burial site on a hill where the singer of the song takes us on a journey. The lyrics amplified through the music blends to create a morbid scene of the most ancient ground covered by mossy rocks, with a smell that is unsound. The singer is drawn in, and as he walks, he hears the gateway creak, as he steps into the burial ground. It's at this point, he scares himself by taking a few doubtful peeks, and the clock strikes twelve.
The singer is now caught in a web of darkness, surrounded by tombs and death. He cannot escape its power, and within this domain, he surrenders to a love affair with death. Ruthless lust and desire consume him, without any disgust for the dirt and dust that surrounds him. He finds a love so deep that he cannot resist its embrace. He accepts death's oldest sin, enamored by her pale skin and ageless grin. He unashamedly indulges in a morbid romance with the grave, celebrating the unholy union of love and death in the abyss.
