Anathema

Anathema was originally used as a term for exile from the church, but evolved to mean "either set apart, banished or denounced". The word "anathema" comes from Koine Greek "ἀνάθεμα" as "something dedicated, especially dedicated to evil" from "ἀνατίθημι" (anatithēmi, "offer as a votive gift", from ἀνά ana, "on" + τίθημι tithēmi, "I put").

With loving passion, oh your radiance
A serenade I cry
Your silk lined coffin the lachrymatory
To hold a mourner's tears

Ethereal splendour
Pale skin and down cast eyes
Scent of paradise
Like her, forever remains unknown

Through tear stained eyes
My view is growing weaker
Please help my grief be vanquished
Thy bed of roses, funereal drapery
Impale my on your thorns

Celestial splendour
Pale skin and down cast eyes
Farewell autumn kisses

Like her, forever remains unknown

I loved her
But now she's gone
(It's so hard to face)
Overcoming
Tender reckoning

If I too depart the earth
I harmony to (our) heaven we'll elope

Heavenly grace with which to ease
The virgin's tears
