Lyrics Behold! The Nightmare - Alternate Vocal - The Smashing Pumpkins

I've faced the fathoms in your deep
Withstood the suitor's quiet siege
Pulled down the heavens just to please you
Appease you
The wind blows and I know

I can't go on
Digging roses from your grave
To linger on
Beyond the beyond
Where the willows weep
And I die
And you sigh

And so the night mare rides on
And so the night mare rides on
With a December black psalm

What I fear is lost here
The wind blows and I know

So may you come with your own knives
You'll never take me alive
With all the force of what is true
Is there nothing I can do?

I can't go on
I'm alone as I'll ever be
I linger on
Beyond the beyond
Where the willows weep
And the whirlpools sleep
You'll find me

And so the night mare rides on
And the night mare rides on
With a December black psalm
So the night mare rides on

I've faced the fathoms in your deep
Withstood the suitor's quiet siege
Pulled down the heavens just to please you
To hold the person I can't keep
