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
