Virgin Steele – Under A Graveyard Moon lyrics

We’ll sleep a deeper slumber…now we are interred
She stands in darkness praising
The ghost between her thighs calls my name
Moonlit tombs open and willing
Stolen gold moments for living…

Blind to Our affection we deceive
Blind to our deception we will grieve

I stand in darkness craving
A broken liturgy upon my lips
Shards of memory so unforgiving
The soul within a kiss preys of mine

Blind to our perfection we will grieve
Blind to our reflection we will bleed…

Under a graveyard moon
We canonized a lie, the dead will tell us why…
Under a graveyard moon
I sacrificed my soul in Blood and Hell below…
But…I loved you like a god….yes I did….like a god!

We cannot escape each other here
We’ll embrace, erase, deface…
The haunted, hunted and the fools obsessed
Sleep with dull white statues…bitterness…

Suddenly see how I grope for thee
Can you feel the ring within the ring?
A darker world beyond the world we see
Pierced by violent beauty, and endless night

Though you see a god, it’s only a shadow
Of another god, a ring within a ring

Under a graveyard moon
We shattered every law
The dead will sleep no more
Under a graveyard moon
We slayed a million words
A flag of flame unfurled…

Under a graveyard moon
A coffin built for two, a headstone with a view
Under a graveyard moon
The stars of heaven spawn
A night without a dawn…
Ah…I’d do it all again…oh I’d do….
I’d do it all again…all for you…I call it love…
