Eternal Flame (parody) - The Bangles / Mary Wyrd Version

Close your eyes, give me your hand, darling

Can you hear Her heart beating

Do you understand?

I cannot explain

Can you hear them, screaming,

For Her burning, dark, Eternal Flame?

I believe She’s chosen me, darling

She whispers when I am sleeping

“You belong with me”

Did you dream the same? 

But you’re no longer dreaming

We’re near Her burning (burning) dark Eternal Flame

Say Her Name!

Understand Her pain

Her Unlife, so lonely

‘Til She found and blessed our Plane

I don't want to lose this feeling, oh

Scream Her name!

Forever may She reign!

My whole life, Unholy

But here, blessed by the arcane,

Now my death has joy and meaning, oh!

Close my eyes, lend me your hand

You now feel my heart beating

Yes, you understand

Place it in the Flame

I’m no longer screaming

Within Her burning, dark, Eternal Flame!

Close your eyes, feel Time expand, darling

Mortal life is so fleeting

Mortality is damned!

But we’re not to blame

Life has lost its meaning

No more spurning Her Eternal Flame!

Close your eyes, give Her your hand, darling

Do you feel Her heart beating?

Obey Her command

Do you feel the same?

You’re no longer screaming

Oh (dark Eternal Flame)

Close your eyes, feel Time expand, darling

Now you hear my heart beating

Now you understand

Now you feel the same

Now you are believing

In my burning, dark Eternal Flame

Close your eyes, give me your hand...
