Die, My Darling

Die, my darling
A whispered warning
Of horrors in your mind
Die, my lover
I will discover
The treachery of your kind

Down, my sweet
Fall at my feet
My judgement lies in wait
Down, my heart
The time to part
Has come to us too late

Sleep, my treasure
A bitter pleasure
Like honey-sweetened wine
Sleep, my precious
A kiss so vicious
When vengeance will be mine

Perish, my love
My devil above
What cobweb touches more?
Perish, my dear
And disappear
When I hit the floor
