Anathema

Stately columns standing in solemn rows
Such empty honours are suitable for those
Whose death erases all renown and fame
And vanquishes their glory with their name

Wandering aimlessly through dead filled fields
Rewards are just, who knows what absence yields?

By the golden beauty of dusk
and the sun low in our sky
By the haunting shadows of trees
and graves, mesmerized am I.

Searching deep inside trying to reach my dreams
I see a face stare back at me... oh, so serene.

By the golden beauty of dusk
and the sun low in our sky
By the haunting shadows of trees
and graves, mesmerized am I.

Those whispering shades... sad, silent glades

But not for those whose superior worth
After death extols them to the earth
I would even venture to assume
That one need not build for them a tomb
By human art, since glory heaven sent
Serves them as a living monument

Pain is a far away land,
Misery, a lifetime's journey...
...and I lust for death (judgement).

I bear the seed of ruin
A golden age turned to stone
Elysium ..... to dust

For this, a tragic journey
A vision of a dying embrace
Scattered earth
Silence .....

Where Echonia wept
I sank into the silent desert

Fallen am I,
In the solitude of a broken promise
..... I cried alone
My empyrean is a scar
From the memory of her beautiful life
Forever was her name

Fulfilment lost in a lifetime of regret
Ornate peace would cover me
As I would die now .....
For one last wish

Long way from home
Nowhere to go
What made the river so cold?

The sweat of thoughts
Trickle down my brow
Soaking and stinging my eye

You've got to face it head on
So you can turn this thing around
'cause this ain't right

Tell tale sighs and cries
Of dreams unfulfilled
And time is running, running dry

Panic-stricken bloodshot hearts
Try to restart
But no longer build the well
To survive sweet oblivion

You've got to face it head on
So you can turn this thing around
'cause this ain't right

I've got these feelings and I don't know why
I see all my fears in the darkness of light
What made the river so cold?

Never anyone to rearrange and fall to
Time inside the empty
Call to the blameless, I am faithless
Placid dying eyes

You've got to face it head on
So you can turn this thing around
'cause this ain't right

You have to go eye to eye
Raise your face to the sky
'cause this ain't right

I got to believe when I say
Only this is the way

Think for yourself you know what you need in this life
See for yourself and feel your soul come alive tonight
Here in moments we share
Trembling between the worlds we stare
Out at starlight enshrined
Veiled like diamonds in time

Could be the answer
Take a chance or lose it all
It's a simple mistake to make
To create love and to fall
So rise and be your master
Cause you don't need to be a slave
Of memory ensnared in a web, in a cage

I've found my way to fly
Free from the constraints of time
I have soared through the sky
Seen life far below in mind
Breathed in truth, love, serene
Sailed on oceans of belief
Searched and found life inside
We're not just a moment in time

Could be the answer
Take a chance or lose it all
It's a simple mistake to make
To create love and to fall
So rise and be your master
Cause you don't need to be a slave
Of memory ensnared in a web, in a cage
In a web, in a cage
In a web, in a cage
In a web, in a cage

Feel renewed inside
Feel the truth in life
See beyond the sky
Beyond our waking eyes

And when the night is long
Feel I don't belong
And when the sky is grey
You turn to me and say
"Love is all we are
Together or apart"
And then the light of day
Calls you on your way
Feel renewed inside
Feel the truth in life
See beyond
See beyond

It's never too late

I gave you my soul
You left me dying

(Freezing in the cold wind that screams through
the silence, in the barren wastes of my heart)

Within the walls
Of my mind... alone,
The winter serenade
Fell silent to me

It's killing you, you're killing me,
I'm clinging on to my sanity,
All I need is a short term remedy
Come and hide me from this terrible reality...

Dreaded memories flood back to me
But there's still a wilful mind behind these cold,
psychotic eyes,
Now I tread this path so differently,
I've opened my mind and darkened my entire life.

I'll dance with angels to celebrate the holocaust,
And far beyond my far gone pride,
Is knowing that we'll soon be gone,
Knowing that I'll soon be gone...

Wandering aimlessly thorough dead filled fields.
Rewards are just, who knows what absence yields?

By the golden beauty of dusk
And the sun low in our sky.
By the haunting shadows of trees
and graves, mesmerized am I.

Searching deep inside, trying to reach my dreams
I see a face stare back at me. . . Oh, so serene.

By the golden beauty of dusk
And the sun low in our sky.
By the haunting shadows of trees
And graves, mesmerized am I.

Those whispering shades. . . Sad, silent glades

Pain is a far away land.
Misery, a lifetimes journey. . .
. . . And I lust for death (Judgment)

Where are you tonight?
Wild flower in starlit heaven
Still enchanted in flight
Obsessions lament to freedom

A timeless word, the meanings changed
But I'm still burning in your flames,
Incessant, lustral mmasquerade,
Unengaged, dilit love didn't taste the same

And I still wonder if you ever wonder the same
And I still wonder...

Where are you tonight?
Wild flower in starlit heaven
Still enchanted in flight
Obsessions lament to freedom

A timeless word, the meanings changed
But I'm still burning in your flames,
Incessant, lustral masquerade,
Unengaged, dimlit love didn't taste the same

And I still wonder if you ever wonder the same
And I still wonder...

Only you can heal your life
Only you can heal inside

But it must have been an angel
Who counted out the time
Yes it must have been an angel
Who raised a knowing smile
And I just couldn't reach you
No matter how I tried
I just couldn't reach you
So instead I ran to hide

Only you can heal your life
Only you can heal inside

Mother can you hear me?
Can you tell me, are you there?
Father can you help me?
Because I know that you care
And I don't have to fight it anymore
For all those years we were dreaming
And I don't have to worry anymore
I found my belief in
Only you can heal your life
Only you can heal inside

No one seems to care anymore
(as) I wander through this night all alone
No one feels the pain I have inside
Looking at this world through my eyes

No one really cares where I go
Searching to feel warmth forever more
The wheels of life they turn without me
Now you are gone... eternally

No...
Don't leave me here
The dream carries (me) on
Inside
I know...
Its not too late
Lost moments blown away
Tonight

[Chorus]
Mankind, with your heresy
Can't you see that this is killing me
There's no one in this life
To be here with me at my side

Are you there?
is it wonderful to know
all the ghosts...
all the ghosts...
freak my selfish out
my mind is happy
need to learn to let it go I know you'd do no harm to me

But since you've been gone I've been lost inside
tried and failed as we walked by the riverside
and I wish you could see the love in her eyes
the best friend that eluded you lost in time
burned alive in the heat of a grieving mind

But what can I say now?
it couldn't be more wrong
cos there's no one there
unmistakably lost and without a care
did we lose all the love that we could have shared
and it's wearing me down
and it's turning me round
and I can't find a way
now to find it out
where are you when I need you...

Are you there?

glad to see you're wide awake
this is the great escape
from a life that tried to mould you
and the lie it sold you

what would you do?
what wouldn't you do?
what would you do?
what wouldn't you do?
what would you do?
what wouldn't you do?

did you try to reason why
look yourself in the eye
what you are is all you have been
what will be is all you do now

what would you do?
what wouldn't you do?
what would you do?
what wouldn't you do?
what would you do?
what wouldn't you do?

spill a tear as your sense of self slowly
melts away
melts away
melts away

until death's mirror reflects
the meaning of our lives
we wander aimless and mesmerised
as the fear starts to rise.

Can you rely on the safety of a system?
Those masochistic messages run deep into your soul, tearing through years of subconscious defences.
In a split second the foundations for a peaceful fulfilling life can be blasted away to the four corners of reality,
almost as if it were an act of a truly evil god.

Floating with nowhere to hide
unspoken twist back inside

How did we get here

Life don't belong here

Feel like I just never tried
to find a way back to the outside
it stops me from breathing
kills all the dreaming

TALKING TO YOU FROM THE OTHER SIDE OF A WALL
IN MY MIND AND IT'S CLEAR THAT YOU'RE NEAR TO ME.
THINK I FOUND A WAY TO UNDERSTAND WHY I COULDN'T SEE WHAT
WAS HAPPENING THE FEAR OVERCAME ME.TOOK A TRIP ON THE INSIDE
I TOOK A TRIP ON THE INSIDE I TRY TO HOLD ON 'TIL THIS FEELING
IS GONE.BREAK THROUGH TO THE OTHER SIDE NEED TO BREAK THROUGH
TO THE OTHER SIDE OF EVERYTHING...

I just can't lay down and die
it takes a lifetime to understand why
it seems that you need me
but you don't seem to hear me

Talking to you from the other side of a
wall.......

I'm sorry about the sun
How could I know that you would burn?
And I'm sorry about the moon
How could I know that you'd disapprove?
And I'll never make the same mistake
So, next time I create the universe
I'll make sure we communicate at length
Oh, yeah...

But until then you're better off dead
A smile on the lips and a hole in the head
Better off dead, it's better than this
Take it away 'cause there's nothing to miss
I'm sorry about the world
How could I know you'd take it so bad?
And I'll never make the same mistake
So if you're looking for a fantasy
Why not try the entire human race?
Just to play it safe

Until then you're better off dead
A smile on the lips and a hole in the head
Better off dead, better than this
Take it away 'cause there's nothing to miss
Better off dead, better off dead
Why don't you try pushing daisies instead?
Better off dead, better off dead
A smile on the lips and a hole in the head

And I'll never make the same mistake
The next time I create the universe
I'll make sure you participate
Oh, yeah...

And I'll never make the same mistake
The next time I create the universe
I'll make sure we communicate at length
Just in case

I'm lying here, oh so peaceful .....
..... In serene harmony
I'm dreaming yet I feel awake
I'm dreaming yet I am awake

Subjected to pain. Dark screams repent

And in a foreboding rage, a soul will die .....
..... a soul will die

My mind is burning, I'm burning
I can't feel you anymore
Have I reached my point?
Will I drown in delusion?

The winds fell silent
And in my cerulean twilight
I left myself once again
..... it's overwhelming
Suffer yourself, and let me die here awhile

I cry a tear of hate but it is lost in helplessness.
The darkness eats away at the very embers of my soul
For the deepest love I have has dissolved before my eyes.
My sorrow is bleak, I beg for deliverance.

Lord, in your mercy, hear my prayer.

All emotion is consumed by an inner silence.
All grief is unassuaged by disconsolate tears.
I want for nothing, I live for nothing.
I am waiting to die, but I am afraid dying.

Lord, in your mercy, hear my prayer.

Crestfallen emotion.
Wallowing in guilt trying
and drowning forevermore.

Falling deeper into fear.
My inner self is now
a sleeper of stone.

I cry a tear of hate but it is lost in helplessness.
The darkness eats away at the very embers of my soul
For the deepest love I have has dissolved before my eyes.
My sorrow is bleak, I beg for deliverance.

Lord, in your mercy, hear my prayer.

All emotion is consumed by an inner silence.
All grief is unassuaged by disconsolate tears.
I want for nothing, I live for nothing.
I am waiting to die, but I am afraid dying.

Lord, in your mercy, hear my prayer.

Crestfallen emotion.
Wallowing in guilt trying
and drowning forevermore.

Falling deeper into fear.
My inner self is now
a sleeper of stone.

Reaching out...
How things look different on the way down
Disillusioned, I've lost desire
Will I burn in the unforgiving fire?

From the flames, I walk away
I've found a way to erase the pain
An empty bottle, my receptacle
A guardian angel called escape

Don't dwell on the forthcoming
As I know it won't be happening
And you know, when I'm gone
You'll hear my cries on the wind

Feel my heart burning
Deep inside yearning
I know it is coming

A fettered heart, waking...
A tainted youth, fading...
Leave it all behind
Delirious again
Mesmerise my senses
Our souls entwine one more time

All our times will come
Certain oblivion
Leaving nothing but the memories of
All the things you give
They're all you'll leave behind

Open laughter held in distant days
(how those) Eternal stars have changed
I know that it can't be the same
But there is no lament for you tonight

Feel my heart burning
Deep inside yearning
I know it is coming

And time recedes every day
You can search your soul but you won't see
As we pass ever on and away
Toward some blank infinity

Feel my heart burning
Deep inside yearning
I know it is coming

A fettered heart, waking...
A tainted youth, fading...
Leave it all behind
Delirious again
Mesmerise my senses
Our souls entwine one more time

All our times will come
Certain oblivion
Leaving nothing but the memories of
All the things you give
They're all you'll leave behind

Open laughter held in distant days
(how those) Eternal stars have changed
I know that it can't be the same
But there is no lament for you tonight

Feel my heart burning
Deep inside yearning
I know it is coming

And time recedes every day
You can search your soul but you won't see
As we pass ever on and away
Toward some blank infinity

I tried to murder the lonely,
Contemplate our mortality.

Into infinity,
Frozen memory

Wipe the tears from yesterday,
A time for change, take the pain away.

Angel, my destiny,
Can you feel me?

Suddenly
Life has new meaning
Suddenly
Feeling is being

And you shine inside
And love stills my mind
Like the sunrise
Dreaming light of the sunrise

And suddenly
I don't have to be afraid
Suddenly
It all falls into place

And you shine inside
And love stills my mind
Like the sunrise
Dreaming light of the sunrise

I feel you but I don't really know you
I dreamed of you from the moment I saw you
And I've seen the sunrise in your eyes
The sky, the sea, the light

So live your dream beneath the northern horizon
Be at peace set your heart in flight again
For the light is truth
The light is you

Seems like you never really knew me
Seems like you never understood me
Seems like you never really knew how to feel
But electricity it drew you near to me
What you needed was to be rid of me

There were times you really made me smile
And there were times you really made me cry
And there were times I never really knew how to feel
But electricity it drew you near to me
What you needed was to be rid of me
And the fear made you so unsure of me
What you needed was to be rid of me

But electricity it drew you near to me
What you needed was to be rid of me
And the fear made you so unsure of me
What you needed was to be rid of me

Speak to me
For I have seen
Your waning smile
Your scars concealed
So far from home, do you know you're not alone
Sleep tonight
Sweet summerlight
Scattered yesterdays, the past is far away

How fast time passed by
The transience of life

Those wasted moments won't return
And we will never feel again

Beyond my dreams
Ever with me
You flash before my eyes, a final fading sigh
But the sun will (always) rise
And tears will dry
Of all that is to come, the dream has just begun

And time is speeding by
The transience of life

Those wasted moments won't return
And we will never feel again

Speak to me
For I have seen
Your waning smile
Your scars concealed
So far from home, do you know you're not alone
Sleep tonight
Sweet summerlight
Scattered yesterdays, the past is far away

How fast time passed by
The transience of life

Those wasted moments won't return
And we will never feel again

Beyond my dreams
Ever with me
You flash before my eyes, a final fading sigh
But the sun will (always) rise
And tears will dry
Of all that is to come, the dream has just begun

And time is speeding by
The transience of life

Those wasted moments won't return
And we will never feel again

Empty vessel under the sun wipe the dust
From my face another morning black sunday
Coming down again, coming down again
Empty vessel empty veins,
Empty bottle wish for rain that pain again
Wash the blood off my face the pulse from
My brain and I feel that pain again

I'm looking over my shoulder coz millions
Will whisper I'm killing myself again maybe
I'm dying faster but nothing ever lasts I
Remember a night from my past when I was
Stabbed in the back and its all coming
Back and I feel that pain again

I abhor you I condam you coz this pain
Will never end you got away without a
Scratch and now youre walking on a lucky
Path i have to laugh but you 'd better watch
Your back

There's pathetic opposition they're the
Cause of my condition I 'll be coming back
For them I've a solution for this sad
Situation nothing left but to kill myself
Again because I'm so empty!

An unstoppable end
The world turns every day
An ending with no end

So, for this time of morning
I can no longer cry
Even though the story goes on

The script is being written
Start shape our destiny
We are the bible...

Believe in angels, they believe in you
Oh, spread your wings, there is more than this darkness
Open your eyes, the horizon has no end
You can see forever, you can know all time
You can live forever...

Every dusk can blind, as a sunrise on a day
Every sunset there is, lifts the eternal sunrise
And the sunrise ends when the sun dies...
And every ending has an eternal beginning...
We are the bible...

As I turn away from a life so grey,
Where have all the flowers gone?
Just what went wrong?

Innocence, insanity, irony
Stone cold reality
Oh lord come and save me

Do you think we're forever?

I've been in tears
Hope has died in me
But now I'm here, I don't wish to leave

Trapped in time
A miracle of hope and change
A swirling mass, no mercy now
If the truth hurts prepare for pain

Do you think we're forever?

The unseen, the eternal river of understanding
Persevering, dying escape
Forever tempting fate
Take me back

A flood of tears bonding my soul with my mind
A dream of love, reality closing in behind
As I close my eyes, the vision dies
As I bid my last farewell to mankind

The unseen, the eternal...

Destiny, Infinity, Eternity

So little time
Your crystal eyes gaze into mine
A burning flame
Forever dreaming, dreaming a lie

Trapped inside internal eyes
Caressed by innocence, a sanctuary for your mind
Born alone beneath pale sardonic skies
One love, one life, one sorrow

I won't reproach myself this time,
A condemned man, granted a sweet reprieve
A turn of fate, a genial twist of the knife
Undying affection for life

So little time
Your crystal eyes gaze into mine
A burning flame
Forever dreaming, dreaming a lie

Trapped inside internal eyes
Caressed by innocence, a sanctuary for your mind
Born alone beneath pale sardonic skies
One love, one life, one sorrow

I won't reproach myself this time,
A condemned man, granted a sweet reprieve
A turn of fate, a genial twist of the knife
Undying affection for life

Somniferous whisperings of scarlet fields
Sleep calling me and my dreams are wondrous
My reality abandoned (I traverse afar)
Not a care if I never wake

Somniferous whisperings of scarlet fields
Sleep calling me and my dreams are wondrous
My reality abandoned (I traverse afar)
Not a care if I never wake

Needed time to clear my mind
Breathe the free air find some peace there
I used to keep my heart in jail
But the choice was love or fear of pain and
And I chose love

Because everything is energy and energy is you and me

Light shines through an open window
Shines inside your heart and soul
And light will guide your way through time
And love will help you heal your mind
And life will be
Because everything is energy and energy is you and me

Needed time to clear my mind
Breathe the free air find some peace there
I used to keep my heart in jail
But the choice was love or fear of pain and
And I chose love

Because everything is energy and energy is you and me

Light shines through an open window
Shines inside your heart and soul
And light will guide your way through time
And love will help you heal your mind
And life will be
Because everything is energy and energy is you and me

One common, subterranean destination
One life, another day
A vestal child unveiled by temptation
Innocence slips away

Far away

Been down so long
Too deep the water that I tread
Sometimes I feel myself going under
Sometimes I envy the dead

So take me far away

One common, subterranean destination
One life, another day
A vestal child unveiled by temptation
Innocence slips away

Far away

Been down so long
Too deep the water that I tread
Sometimes I feel myself going under
Sometimes I envy the dead

So take me far away

I've a feeling I wont be coming down from this,
I was searching through the heavens and somehow I slipped,

I feel, I'm seeing so clear

Trying to forget tomorrow and all that's happened.
This is not the way, the way I meant to be.

I feel, I'm seeing so clear,
I thought I was never going to die
I feel, I'm seeing so clear,
We need more time.

Slipping away, I think I'm gonna crack,
Misplaced trust, loyalty stabbed in the gut.

I feel, I'm seeing so clear,
I thought I was never coming back

I've been down for a while
And now I'm coming back....

Started a search to no avail
a light that shines behind the veil
trying to find it
and all around us everywhere
is all that we could ever share
if only we could see it
believe there's truth that's beyond me
life ever changing weaving destiny

and it feels like i'm flying above you
dream that i'm dying to find the truth
seems that you're trying to bring me down
back down to earth back down to earth

layers of dust and yesterdays
shadows fading in the haze
of what I couldn't say
and though I said my hands were tied
times have changed and now I find
I'm free for the first time
feel so close to everything now
strange how life makes sense in time now

and it feels like i'm flying above you
dream that i'm dying to find the truth
seems that you're trying to bring me down
back down to earth back down to earth
back down to earth back down to earth x2

Hey you, rotting in your alcoholic shell
Banging on the walls of your intoxicated mind.
Do you ever wonder why you are left alone?
As your heart grew colder
And finally turned to stone.

Did I punish you for dreaming?
Did I break your heart and leave you crying?
Do you ever dream of escaping?
Don't you ever dream of escaping?

Pathetic oblivion.
Forgotten hopes buried in your soul's lonely grave.
Pathetic oblivion.
Remember how you were before you locked your heart away.

Did I punish you for dreaming?
Did I break your heart and leave you crying?
Do you ever dream of escaping?
Don't you ever dream of escaping?

Hey you, rotting in your alcoholic shell
Banging on the walls of your intoxicated mind.
Do you ever wonder why you are left alone?
As your heart grew colder
And finally turned to stone.

Did I punish you for dreaming?
Did I break your heart and leave you crying?
Do you ever dream of escaping?
Don't you ever dream of escaping?

Pathetic oblivion.
Forgotten hopes buried in your soul's lonely grave.
Pathetic oblivion.
Remember how you were before you locked your heart away.

Did I punish you for dreaming?
Did I break your heart and leave you crying?
Do you ever dream of escaping?
Don't you ever dream of escaping?

Countless times I trusted you
I let you back in
Knowing... Yearning... you know
I should have run... but I stayed

Maybe I always knew
My fragile dreams would be broken for you

Today I introduced myself
To my own feelings
In silent agony after all these years they spoke to me
After all these years

Maybe I always knew
My fragile dreams would be broken
For you

Goodbye, cruel world,
I'm leaving you today.
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye.

Goodbye all you people,
There's nothing you can say,
To make me change my mind.
Goodbye.

feel free to comprehend
what I see will never end
it can't be now that life is gone
its too real to overcome

it's too real
it's too real
it's too real

and these days my hands are tied
these days I think you'll find
I'm not me now a light has died
it's too real to run and hide

I was floating in the water
something tried to pull me under
I was floating in the water
something tried to pull me under
I was trying to live my life
it wouldn't let me
let me let me let me
I was trying to live my life
it wouldn't let me
let me let me let me

feel free to comprehend
what I see will never end
I'm not me now a light has died
its too real to run and hide

I was floating in the water
something tried to pull me under
I was floating in the water
something tried to pull me under
I was trying to live my life
it wouldn't let me
let me let me let me
I was trying to live my life
it wouldn't let me
let me let me let me

Intangible. Eternal. Without beginning nor end. The nameless,
Formless energy that permeates all living things. That sweeps
Through nature like a ripple in an ocean, sending cascades of
Timeless wonder through the air, on the song of a bird, the
Freshness of the morning air. A clear calling for our inner
Nature to awaken beyond our every day lives, and fears. Love
Is timeless, love is purity. It is the lightless light, the
Rays of the sunrise dancing on the surface of the sea. Love is
You, and love is me. It is the deepest knowing, the serenity of
Being, the laughter of the earth, the limitless breath of the
Wind, the wonder of potential, the power of thought, the gift
Of life, the highest vibration, the most profound awareness...
The knower. Life. Love. Infinite. within you. Now. Always.

For it is in love's gentle embrace that we come to know the
Space between us. A feeling deep within that not all is what it
Seems. that we bear witness to a magic as deep our own, to a
Summernight horizon that whispers "welcome" to your soul. And
In those fleeting, trembling moments that we share between the
Worlds, it is enough for us to know that in each other we must
Care, for alive and not alone are we the children of the world,
Here to witness time and the unfolding miracle of the soul.

There is no difficulty that enough love will not conquer. There is
No disease that enough love cannot heal, No door that enough love
Will not open, No gulf that enough love will not bridge, and no
War that enough love will not throw down. It makes no difference
How deeply seated may be the trouble, how hopeless the outcome, how
Muddled the tangle, how great the mistake. A sufficient realization
Of love will dissolve it all. And if you could love enough, you
Would be the happiest and most powerful person in the world.

I was not put here by anyone in fear
I came alone as me
Just an idea in a long chain of discovery
Surrounded by the same you

Sometimes your tide pulls me out to sea
And I die in a thrashing curse
Sometimes we are kind
More often, I doze
So far up the beach that those who try to reach are burnt alive in the searing heat of the desert of my dispassion
So far removed, I never hear the water
'Cept once or twice a month when I see a mirror

And I refuse to believe in some of the things that are said to be here
Let alone those that are not
I'm trying to change my direction
Ours is pathetic in my own humble estimation

I love the planet
The great benign she-wolf
Benefactor
Spinning gently on towards the red giant four aeons hence
When all the rose gardens are consumed in the flash-fire of flying time
She'll leave alone to you

When the silence beckons,
And the day draws to a close,
When the light of your life sighs,
And love dies in your eyes,
Only then will I realise,
What you mean to me

La voie, le saule s’incline dessus du ruisseau,
Comme une personne qui se descend criant pour l'amant.
La voie le saule s’incline dessus du ruisseau,
Comme une personne qui se descend criant pour l’amant.
Me rappele d’automne precedente, en reverence,
Je m’ai engage, je m’ai engage, je m’ai engage a vous
Je m’ai engage, je m’ai engage, I plegded myself to you.

The inequity of fate
The pains of love and hate
The heart-sick memories
That brought you to your knees

And the times when we were young
When life seemed so long
Day after day
You burned it all away

All the hate that feeds your needs
All the sickness you conceive
All the horror you create
Will bring you to your knees

The inequity of fate

All the sickness you conceive
All the horror you create

There is a whole mountain
And a river runs through it
If you split my mountain wide
You would find many rivers

Among flocks of non-white doves
And non-temptable mortals
The kingdom is much more real
And the beauty is endless

Only when tightened beyond recall
Is your necklace a blessing
Leave your pearls in the sea
You undeserved bitch
You are not worthy of such a treasure

My hand on your heart, I know there is a beating
In this oh so bleak landscape
There are many mountains
.........but not so much water.

My Kingdom

Born to the glare of the senses
Spoon fed reality infused
A new inherent
Passive contentment
You are so easily amused

Here and now
We are gone in a heartbeat
A dream in the
Passage your time

Chances are fading
This world isn't waiting
The moment is passing you by

Questions lie beneath the surface
The fools are fooled once again
Benign coincidence
We stole our existence
And gladly cast it to the wind

Here and now
We are gone in a heartbeat
A dream in the passage of time

Chances are fading
This world isn't waiting

Slowly spinning on the wind back home

Is this the one who thougt it was insane
coming down against it all

didn't want it didn't need it didn't want it

twisted face of fading beauty
count the cost of suffering
cannot see the day before you
only feel what's deep inside
try to change it makes no difference

didn't want it didn't need it didn't want it
didn't want it didn't need it didn't want it

let me go

looking outside inside craving for something
hoping for anything - I'll believe in anything
who has eyes that see - who wants to believe?
in something, in anything? in one thing
in freedom - looking outside inside
set assist pandemonium - broken promises
died alive flying high - you caught me
in your eye. disintegrated insinerated
this is not now I want to be -
too much is coming through someone please tell me what to do
looking outside inside

Life... has betrayed me once again,
I accept that some things will never change.
I've let your tiny minds magnify my agony,
and it's left me with a chemical dependency for sanity.

Yes, I am falling... how much longer till I hit the ground?
I can't tell you why I'm breaking down.
Do you wonder why I prefer to be alone?
Have I really lost control?

I'm coming to an end,
I've realized what I could have been.
I can't sleep so I take a breath and hide behind my bravest mask,
I admit I've lost control.

I hear your voice
It sings so softly
Curious to join in
A harmony to breathe forevermore

Joyous the one to hear a voice

In fields where grass grows tall
Golden carpets swell and whisper
Autumn trees will weep

Immune to pity, I've grown used to grief
The eternal tear reciprocates

In fields where grass grows tall
Golden carpets swell and whisper
Autumn trees will weep

Dawn breaks open like a wound that bleeds afresh
In bleak misery, the lifeless lie in squander

Love has left me, fled from me
Fragrant lust waits beside and dies
Like flowers that wilt without refreshment
In midday sun I sit and bide time
Adorning me, a lovelorn rhapsody

I know that I want you
I know that I need you
But I can't pretend that
This'll make it right

You whisper your name
But I can't hear you
Don't leave me behind
Lend me your hand

I can feel them
I think they're closing in
Don't leave me behind
Lend me your hand

Let me feel you
By my side
Be where I can hear you
I long to feel

I know that I want you
I know that I need you
But I can't pretend that
This'll make it right

You whisper your name
But I can't hear you
Don't leave me behind
Lend me your hand

I can feel them
I think they're closing in
Don't leave me behind
Lend me your hand

Let me feel you
By my side
Be where I can hear you
I long to feel

My life's minds plagued by lyssophobia
In a cage solitude locks me in
As the dar blackened walls close in on me
Dementia strikes, there's no turning back

Drowning in the stygian sea
As those voices repeat to me my malediction
Memento Mori
Remember you must die

A gratuitous wraith of violence
Blots out the light of my mind
For on this night someone must pay
For the cost of my life

For me to escape the curse of perdition
This poor, weaker being must receive pain
As you wince at the actions of my sadist ways
And cry at the throes of your moribund state

A Daemon issues your last rites
Pater Noster Upto In Terra
I break, I twist, I burn, I destroy
Memento Mori

As the candle of life, that burned in your heart
Is doused by the grip of death's hand
Asmodeus, the spirit of lust
Bears his necrophile ways
For the wishes of the demon in black
My largesse in life should be immortality
Dislike the weak, mortal humans

But in life there's always death
A multitude are born to be damned
His perdisized body will burn forever
In the scorching flames of Gehenna.

Be smothered in life
Listen, listen, listen
The written word will devour you
And burn your mind
I'm burning your mind
I am entering your soul
My promise to love and caress you
Mirrors destiny and breathes the universe

Before tomb ........
(regression)

Taste me
Let the angels wings close


And shield you
I bleed for you

In the shadows and the recesses
You'll find dark
Yearn (me)
]from the dark all is revealed
Light sheds through

Bleed with me
We will share the light and dark
Together and more

Be smothered in life
Listen, listen, listen
The written word will devour you
And burn your mind
I'm burning your mind
I am entering your soul
My promise to love and caress you
Mirrors destiny and breathes the universe

Taste me
Let the angels wings close


And shield you

In the shadows and the recesses
You'll find dark

Your souls are nailed to the cross.
The blood still runs
But the wounds will heal
And leave scars of rememberance.
