Bethany Songtext

von The House Of Usher

I climbed down a staircase
To the very first place of birth
Like no other place
On this god-forsaken earth
Mother ? won't you cover me
With your humid soil
With your glittering foil of dew
I'm in heaven
When you kiss me goodbye
And I'll die in your arms
When you ask for my
Surrender

Bethany ? when you hold me in your arms,
There's no escape
Bethany ? then I'll learn to know
The truth about you

Nothing ever changes
In this sultry place
With its buried memories
Of a self destroying race
You are different
You bring light into the dark
Spread your wings over me
When I call you, Bethany

Bethany - when you hold me in your arms
There's no escape
Bethany - then I'll learn to know
The truth about you
Bethany ? when you speak your fateful spell on me
Bethany ? I am lost in your embrace forever

You gave me a crown
When you came down to me
I lost the ground
Under my feet

And all that I needed
Was there in your arms
Where everything ends
And starts again

This was the way
It always turned
The sun, it burnt
Under my eyelid

You left me alone
When you went home
And I cried
When I lost my (Bethany)
