Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I do not remember where we did meet
Lengthened years have built my mind, memories of defeat
Yet with instability, one thing stands too clear
Lady perfection, mystery of whom I shed a tear
[Verse 2]
Air-woven divinity
Mind, soul in victory
Cured of her malady
Could this be my lost Ligeia?
Air-woven divinity
Mind, soul in victory
Cured of her malady
Could this be my lost Ligeia?
[Verse 3]
Sickness fell upon Ligeia, all knew she would die
Midnight came to lay her rest, farewell
Opium dreams, grief stricken years, I took another bride
Replacing that which I did have, my Ligeia, why?
[Verse 4]
Air-woven divinity
Mind, soul in victory
Cured of her malady
Could this be my lost Ligeia?
Air-woven divinity
Mind, soul in victory
Cured of her malady
Could this be my lost Ligeia?
[Verse 5]
Chronic disease
My luck cursed
My new wife has died
[Verse 6]
Coming from her bed of death, I thought I heard her cry
Could a corpse, cold, stiff, sedate, sob in the bed it lie?
Approaching her, I chilled to stone, for it did swiftly rise
I could never be mistaken, they were, they were Ligeia's eyes
[Verse 7]
Air-woven divinity
Mind, soul in victory
Cured of her malady
Could this be my lost Ligeia?
Air-woven divinity
Tear shed, vitality
Cured of her malady
Yes, this is my lost
