The Fall of the House of Usher

from Once Upon a Midnight by Valentine Wolfe

/

lyrics

The Fall of the House of Usher

it was a crack, it was a fissure
running down the facade
the vacant eye-like windows
reflecting agony inside
an unredeemed dreariness
of thought and sensation
the hideous dropping off of the veil

Not hear it? yes, I hear it!
Yes, I have heard it!
long, long many minutes hours and days
I dared not speak- I dared not
miserable wretch that I am
we have put her living in the tomb!

Madeline-
do I hear her footstep on the stair
Madeline-
do I hear the beating of her heart
Madeline, Madeline
O whither shall I fly?

blood red moon
show me the fissure
splitting the house of Usher in two

blood red moon
just enough light
to show the tarn swallow it whole
