Malfet | The Sadness of Her Might

From Malfet's album, “Alban Arthan,“ release II Winterfylleth MMXX. Available from: Dungeon's Deep Records (CS) - Expansion Abyss (LP) - Pacific Threnodies (CD) - “She dwells with Beauty—Beauty that must die; And Joy, whose hand is ever at his lips Bidding adieu; and aching Pleasure nigh, Turning to poison while the bee-mouth sips: Ay, in the very temple of Delight Veil'd Melancholy has her sovran shrine, Though seen of none save him whose strenuous tongue Can burst Joy's grape against his palate fine; His soul shalt taste the sadness of her might, And be among her cloudy trophies hung.”
