My Dying Bride "The Dreadful Hours" LIVE

The Dreadful Hours is the seventh album by My Dying Bride released in 2001. It contains a remake of "Return of the Beautiful" (renamed "Return to the Beautiful") from the band's debut album, As the Flower Withers. Singer Aaron Stainthorpe has often cited that either this or "Like Gods of the Sun" is his favourite MDB album. "The Dreadful Hours" comes housed in a digipak with a full colour booklet.

The Dreadful Hours lyrics

Mother, will you take me down?
I have become so afraid
Mother, please, please take me down
I'm sorry, your boy is not brave

Child, just hold on. Night will soon be gone
Sleep if you can. But watch your father's hand

We do not want you. Nobody loves you
Father of the dark. Tonight will greet you

God in heaven, can you hear me
Help me, oh, Lord. They're coming for me
Mother warned me. Father scorned me
Oh my God. No. Now I hear him

I claim your life on this night
Within sight of your own God

The silence, the waiting then the pain
Oh, child, sleep will be here soon
Your life has only ever been shame
And so, young boy, my hand brings doom

Child, won't you awake. Father has gone
Child, please come awake. Please, my tiny son
