Ghost of my memory; Ghost of my past
Have you come to stay with me at last
I reside here where you left me long ago
No one to love and unable to let go
I can hear your voice softly just beyond the veil
Will I find the strength and finally set sail
To journey after your spirit in luminescent lands
Discarding this dying shell to the terrestrial sands
Are you still waiting in the bliss of the other life
As I have here among decay and earthly strife
Lacrimosa! Lacrimosa! O spiteful heart that beats ever on!
Cease your work that I might abandon this night for eternal dawn
Two Ghosts forever mingled in realms beyond
My steadfast dream of which I am painfullly fond
