This is the title track of the album Moonlight Bleeds. It is based on the Greek legend of the fabled musician Orpheus journeying to the underworld to rescue his beloved wife.
Lyrics
put the hounds to sleep at the gates
and i won’t look back
past the shores of dark acheron
i can’t bear to breathe without you
i look away, but it’s too late now
before my eyes, you disappear
a last farewell for all eternity
my heart keeps pounding...could this really be?
just a glance behind
moonlight bleeds a star-silver hue
as i lose you now forever
and as you fade
my fear is turned to glass inside me
now i wander this cold earth alone
my true love, you’re all i long for
but now these aging arms are empty
so i will wait for death to reunite us
