Standing In The House Of Suffering lyrics

In this house of madness He sings his dirge For his sister, Madeline As she fades from his life In this house of suffering I hear his words Heavy and horrible And they sang to me thus: Our time now has been lost In a dim remembered tale My only duty was but to sing And now I laugh - but never smile A smile on her lips so cold She leaves this place Sleep - not for me tonight In this house of death My time now has been lost In a dim remembered song There''s blood upon her white robes A blood red moon The House of Usher will fall now
