Seasons Apart
|
|
Take my hand, follow me through tranquillity Stay with me, you will see ardour where shadows grow Feel my heart, relieve your hope of this fading love Winter came far too soon, but still the flowers bloom And winter came too soon, and will the flowers die; Bow down their heads under the cold, cold sky? In a world growing blind, Who can expect me to see the pain that I caused? It's the end for me and you Somehow we always knew, 'Cause the guilt we had to hide Was right here at our side Heal my heart before it breaks, Shade these austere lights... Heal that wound that came to me... Take me away from here Blindfold my eyes with thy grace... The hope runs dry, and the words of comfort; I heard how they cracked... We are breathing the shame I am the one to blame It's the end for me and you Somehow we always knew, 'Cause the guilt we had to hide Was right here at our side |

When I Wake
|
|
When I wake, something inside me breaks Holding back the time until I sleep again Woe to me, I'm forever lost to thee Woe to thee, you're forever lost to me Let me sleep forever; fade into the clouds Sublime emotion blowing in the wind Human thoughts, like darkness to a flame Depart not as thy shadow came Your grave to be; Fear, a dark reality... Your sympathy; Lost or never meant to be My fright and the beating of my heart... Close my eyes in silence and take me in your arms What have you done? Reveal your heart Your suffocating silence Tears me apart So break this seal Where the quiet remains; Where lovers mourn Broken and torn Only a wakeful silence of mourning shades... Embodied forever into the stream... When you sleep, I sow what you reap... But as you cry something inside me dies When I wake, something inside me breaks... In your eyes, I watch how something dies What have you done? Reveal your heart Your suffocating silence Tears me apart So break this seal Where the quiet remains; Where lovers mourn Broken and torn |

Earthbound
|
|
The sorrow of my soul, earthbound and cold The tide will never turn I've been dead for years, drowned in all my tears Have you forsaken me? Frequent days of loss, crawling to the cross The silence screams so loud Conquered by the sun, my fate is done I'm pulling down the shroud Blazing through my eyes, your tender disguise So far our of reach A life of dismay turns into grey Will you abandon me? Here in the light it's pitch black night A fever on the rise Dying from within and reborn into sin I'm tearing up the sky Feel the world inside; The ghost of me calling you Feel the world inside; The ghost of me haunting you This sentient cage, Cutting through time with a blunt smile Would you help me slit my wrists? See me cry, help me... Die! So frail the veil of life-so beautiful the face of death Suddenly reveries bloom into night's heavy drenching And life leaves you cold, weary and old... It's hard just to breathe You know me so well, I'm going through hell Won't you please, follow me? Feel the world inside; The ghost of me calling you Feel the world inside; The ghost of me haunting you You cracked the ice, and I wept You covered the sun, and I slept You whispered the truth, and I smiled You kissed my soul, and I died |

Not Breathing
|
|
You look so calm, are you sleeping? I'm closing the door to our illusion Where I lost myself in windswept dreams... Two worlds so far apart I remember when I gave her my Eden... From this dry land ardour now sleeps forsaken All the fear inside of me that I don't want her to see; Will overwhelm this life and feed my hopeless strife And she came to me; Insomnia Pounding in my chest... Oh... Lay my soul to rest! Her heart like lacuna and lacerated wings, Burning inside the echo of our dead union I'd like to rest inside the core of your very soul, 'Cause your eyes are deeper, much deeper than any well! But she stayed with me; Insomnia She paralyzed my heart And tore it apart I know I'm alive, but not breathing... Can you see me? And you know how I tried. Please believe me! Can you hear me? My eyes, my soul... The scars inside afflicted On my own, by the world outside, Where love lies starving on the ground I know I'm alive, but not breathing... Can you touch me? And you know how I tried. Please believe me! Will you love me? |

The Failure Epiphany
|
|
I see your picture and all I feel is sorrow... No hate no love... No barren signs from above Can I be you for a while? Let me see Can you be me for a moment? Let it be... Resolution Only regret seals the night where I uncover myself... For those bygone days amid scenes of dread Resolve my love into sheer mercy... God knows how many mornings I woke in torment; Staring into the daytime void, lost in fault and wonder... Walking the fields where poisoned flowers swell Embittered into revulsion Confused I face how stern and devious is reality You conquered me with your delusion, Then I vanished into blank pages already written Endurance and devotion kills each other, And a demon enters our room And something dies... Something dies inside of me Drowns in the vale of tears around me With a beacon of hope we could levitate like dancing on air... And there in that moment we'll at last find solace; Abundance shining greater than any dream The morning breaks so cold... so cold My face it looks so old... so old... I rend my nails on the wall I've built around me Only in the shade can I be free... Only in the shade I can be... Me |

Morphine Cloud
|
|
One single night, one single day Before it all just sweeps away... With the paradise I do not know, Through the joy I never had I'm all alone on my isolated throne Why have you forsaken me? The days outnumbered themselves into the grey And life cries, a dream dies out into the blackness, Stretches for an empty cup; a chalice to collect the tears That I keep to myself I gaze upon the mystery, this lovelorn identity... Frozen beyond the echoes of laughter This morphine cloud hanging over me Like a snow-white curtain; This beautiful haze overruns me So I erase myself from you; The cure for my sanity... And here I am, unwilling to forgive myself So lost in this remedy, your spirit is haunting me; Consumed by indifference I scream in your silence where shadows conceals me... I'm cursed to search for you Oh feeble, ungrateful my heart; Paralyzed you drown with me Intoxicate this bitter reality Under the screens of apathy Oh feeble, ungrateful my heart; Paralyzed you drown with me Intoxicate this bitter reality Under the screens of apathy The dream died before it was born, Innocence is lost... And so am I But still I pretend to be strong Still I wonder where I belong You whisper to me gently in my sleep To leave this world behind And I gaze upon the mystery, this lovelorn identity... Frozen beyond the echoes of laughter |

Bloodflower
|
|
I've made a good living by dying; Endless wait, grey solace ruling my mind Constrained by time and drained by the cold, Still I found myself shivering under the rising sun You are the star, you are the moon You are the soil where shadows bloom Casting a light which brings me peace Where the caverns of death will freeze The flower never grew But I love you just the same Even though like a bird you flew I will love you just the same I am the blood; A fire in your soul... And I will grow in landscapes so cold Oh, how I feel you in every single detail, As you lurk inside my troubled dreams There is no hope as long we walk this Earth, But you should know my universe screams, It screams for you I cry for you! The flower never grew But I love you just the same Even though like a bird you flew I will love you just the same |

The Empty Stare
|
|
My mind wandered off in the distance, Where I am far from all that cages me All I could think of was death Her name disguised in silence; Angelwings and ravenclaws... The shredding of my soul, Steeped in a lavender smile In thy eyes; The womb of thy despair Embrace my life Within thy empty stare The overcast sky consoling me, The fortitude within my grasp I think to myself I'm the sad clown; Smiling reluctantly, but crying behind the iron curtain These tears don't fall so easily In thy eyes; The womb of thy despair Embrace my life Within thy empty stare Damn the illusion which fell upon me! The bitter wine of reality poured all over my face... And I despise what I've become; Just a terrified man, secluded and trapped in time In thy eyes; The womb of thy despair Embrace my life Within thy empty stare Together let us roam Through endless dreams of night The moon as our limit And our souls as guiding light But how can I refuse my empathy to be resolute? 'Cause it feels like... I'm dying I have nothing to gain where there is nothing to lose |

September Ashes
|
|
September begun with a goodbye to my heart The pictures you put in my head brought tears behind my icy hands Come closer; Breathe my name and nothing more We are mere whisperings of a heartfelt elegy So when I scream for you, do not answer me When I beg you to hold me, just walk away... |
