Formed in 1995 out of Adelaide Australia, VIRGIN BLACK brought an expansively dark cinematic and symphonic style of music to the masses. Routinely combining orchestral metal with goth influences, VIRGIN BLACK hit international fame in 2001 with their release SOMBRE ROMANTIC. Off of that release, here's DRINK THE MIDNIGHT HYMN.

Lyrics;
Under a serene sky
Earth covers your gentle form
in verdant fields
Soul is reft from bodies
To my head I raise
A wreath of white flowers
And cry "Unhappiness"
My mournful valediction
I drink deep into your soul
Thanatos Kyrie eleison (Greek)
Thanatos Kyrie eleison
Thanatos Kyrie eleison
Thanatos Kyrie eleison
Thanatos Kyrie eleison
Thanatos Kyrie
The cry of my soul
I tread alone
The cry of my heart
The cry of my soul
Dreamless sleeper
Your face, the grave will change
Your blood poured
liked your saviour's
I drink the midnight hymn
To my head I raise
A wreath of white flowers
And cry "Unhappiness"
My mournful valediction
I drink deep into your soul
