Theatre Of Tragedy – Aegis 02. Lorelei Lyrics to Lorelei : [Words by Raymond, Music by Theatre of Tragedy] Ferie dearest, was it loe soothfast or a façade; A serenade siren’d to lure – Zounds! not to court me? A menad, yet the sweetest colleen – Certes didst thou me unveil meekly life pristine. Lorelei, A poet of tragedies, scribe I lauds to Death, Yet who the hell was I to dare? Lorelei, Canst thou not see thou to me needful art? Canst thou not see the loss of loe painful is? Dedally didst thou perform the tragic pasquinade, For all years a damndest and driegh’d accolade – Caus’d for all eyes mazed to behold a mêlee; In the midst did I swainly cast thee my bouquet: The one and sole faggot that feedeth the fire, Bellow’d bidingly by my heart’s quailing quire. Lorelei, A poet of tragedies, scribe I lauds to Death, Yet who the hell was I to dare? Lorelei, Canst thou not see thou to me needful art? Canst thou not see the loss of loe painful is? Perchance author I thee this ikon’d apologue for aught, Doth the wecht burthen thee?, then bethink thine afterthought: ‘Tween Aether and ‘Nether art thou the peerless phoenix – Prithee, darlingmost! – court me rather than the peevish prolix.

yea, the ancient/old English in their lyrics are effin great!! if you manage to translate it, the meaning is awesome…
I very like it, the mix with Icon of coil is very nice too…. kisses
My favorite TOT song
cause it is old english..like Shakespeare’s writings.
Sweetest and darkest and finest voice in the world (L)
But the English of the lyrics is difficult to understand for a foreigner -.-
Well will anyone name some songs where Liv was singing? I’ve yet to hear one -.-
Absolutely epic.
This CD is pretty much the only good thing this band produced..in my opinion ofcourse, that and i like the song “machine” thats it
Lorelei, a poet of tragedies, scribe I lauds to death, yet who the hell was I to dare?
Got to get a translation of the lyrics. x_X
It’s so awesome..^^
Awesome! Love to hear my name pronounced correctly and spelled correctly!!!!!
People these days would rather listen to hip hop and or overrated Emo music I know it’s very sad
Why are this band so underated, their music is soo much better than some of the stuff today.
I LOVE LIV’S VOICE..
but nell’s isnt moving like liv’s..
if theatre of tragedy still had liv and was gothic i would be in love like i was along time ago
on of my every time best albums
and you did a great thing, i’d love to name my (eventual) 2 daughters Lorelei after this song, and Judith after A Perfect Circle’s song
Hehe cool
And I named my rat loreley XD
believe it or not, I named my daughter after this song.
