The weary creak of my bones
Exhausted voice, deathly tones Arms of lead, skin drawn tight No long a princely sight Face is gaunt, pale & thin Bent and grey and full of sin Pass to me Wine and song For i'll be Soon long gone Cast me down, upon the dust My dry bones remain tombless From my life, a rose is grown Rains they come. The winds Blow Winter haunts me Nowhere to flee Take me back. Young was I Within her arms we could fly Grey am I, and all alone I feel like I'm far from home Grace has fled here But He is so near In shadows lie My hopes of life Black wings fold me In their symphony Long the winter nights are Grace is so far Leaves they fall in time Drifting down in time Darkness comes, right on time Desend upon me Wings from above Goodbye to lie Farewell my loves. 02. L'Amour Détruit
The honey of romance, so
sweet for us Through swaying grass we run in arms, just us The honey of romance, our treat to us These arms I fold around you. It's just us. Your charms so rare My flesh laid bare In arms we dare I will kiss her mouth and her dark eyes Lose myself freely in her dark eyes Fall right through her soul, her mind, her skies Our limbs entwined Then comes our minds It's hope we find The red lips of her mouth they call to me Her mind is mine Her flesh my kind Warm, soft, smooth, mine! I lack for naught Her mind welcomes my thoughts Entering the dark, so close, entwined We drift away to nothing And no-one will find Within our arms we sleep deeply I pull her close to me, near me, into me. 03. I Cannot Be Loved
Lover put a knife in my hand
Lay down right there, that's my command Do as I say in this blood play Claw at my skin, I'll let you win Caress your flesh, burns like fire Rosey, sweet breath, and your desire Your skin, it's all All I want to take from you Your mind is naught unto me, I'll leave behind Bound together The darkest embrace Bound forever We will be chaste I paw at you golden flesh, golden breast I sail on your, on your sea of ecstasy God, I want you Just be mine 'Cause you hold me all the time Your pain, it talks to me Your pain, it talks through me Your pain, it talks to me And I heed it well My hands, your neck, They greet each well in a loving hell This hold we have can't last, it's killing me Farewell my love Please walk away And take away my pain. 04. And I Walk With Them
A Serpent it came to me
Right before my eyes I looked to God way above me He looked down at my lies I said "oh Lord please help me I am on my knees" "Your path is yours" he told me "Yours to reap" A mighty wind did pull me Tore at my face My flesh is raped at his hand I am the world's disgrace The Heaven opened above me And down Gods tears came Lashing away at my skin My stinking, rotten frame I though I'd fought the demons that roamed above me I thought I'd slew their blood red hands Their hearts still beat with all the hatred for me Their mark still burns into my very soul And I walk with them. They're shadowing my soul. 05. Thy Raven Wings
In fiery flight we would leave
this hall The Holy house, House of God will fall To death they go with music and song But our dread simply must go on I feel our need to feed goes on For our greed, watch them bleeding on This hour's ours, with open arms go on Crowned with thorns and pain was he Raised our hands and slew him utterly Crimson waves of the tears of war This is what we were put here for Eden falls, Mercy for life I hear their calls Stood and watched them die Heaven crawls. Wings burn on high Beauty falls. Beg unto me why? Fold thy raven wings 'Tis our duty, darkness brings If this day be our last Our victims await For they are vast In fiery death we will crawl away Content we lived for each and every day Black and burned with a stench of decay. 06. Love's Intolerable Pain
Denial of our shadow side
Will often cause it to rise up Against us That he does not need to die Allows his mind to soar To fly What if love's intolerable pain never leaves? What will your life's mark leave upon this world? What now, will my dark craft do with your body now? We walk as Gods together through a fiery dawn What if you love someone you know you shouldn't love? What will your dying father's last words to you be? What now, the painting of young lovers is complete? What if love's intolerable pain never leaves us? Do we dash our bleeding hearts on the rocks of loneliness? And cry unto the lords above who turn away in haste? From the heart Heart of snow Comes the ice It's crushing blow From the soul Whose love is sound Comes the cold It's frozen ground. 07. One of Beauty's Daughters
Your name will walk the years
of shame Your hands, my face, the look, the taste To gaze how fondly on thy beautiful face To fold thee in my great arms, my dark embrace In my arms I comforted her, and she looked up at me Weep did she and tried to escape. My mind she did read I held her face in my hands and winked my eye Whispering into her ear "now your mine" Her eyes, her cries, my thoughts, she dies Walk away, she can try, and if she does, she dies. 08. Deeper Down
An unfortunate journey
Through a bleak sea of loneliness I carved through the waves of grief In a black vastness of self doubt I have never felt so alone So pitiful and wretched and low I'm tried by a terrible wind The misery and the pains blow Fill my vast sails of ruin Steer me toward a bleak end A horizon of purples and reds The still waters of my welcome end The clouds of grey come overhead A storm will hunt me down And rip the guts out of my body That I would surely drown The unforgiving wind searches And lashes me like a whip The self-pity overwhelms me My heart sinks like a ship Thrashing out at torment and pain The maddened sea engulfs me I let myself be swallowed up The magnificent weight upon me Deeper I go, deeper down Didn't think it could get any blacker The cold bites, the pressure builds I think I no longer matter Can't tell if my eyes are open or closed The grieving waters swallow The pain I'm in through my life of sin The Devil will doubtless follow Loneliness is agony For those of you who know A war of grief and sadness rages Through mind, body and soul When lovers die and friendships fade When kin all lie forgotten The gates of agony spew forth Your memories, stinking and rotten So deep now I feel so numb I'm ravaged by utter loss The guilt, the grief, the astounding pain My body, they all will wash I hope I ne'er return to life Oh, Christ just let me go Let death devour my Simple soul Lest my misery grow I quietly leave. A lonely sight Relieved of all my guilt To join a wall of deepest Hell The Devil himself has built. 09. The Blood, The Wine, The Roses
Everyone knows her.
knows her name. Deadly Siren, that's her game They want to be near her. Playing her game Get to know her. What's her name? She strides amoung us with a burning fire. Her victims endless, piling higher And I run along with them, the heaving mass, fighting anyone to get past I want her fire, her burning fire, her dark caress, her red hot kiss I want desire, her roaring fire, from milk white breast to raven tress I want her nights, morning light, her endless days, amazing grace I'm on her trail every single day Ahead, she glides, I stumble blindly in her wake I witnessed lovers torn by her. Teary maidens killing her You'll never be lovers when she's in town because in her eyes, we all drown Broken-hearted, we leap to God, and die like lovers everyone forgot I tremble when she passes by. Lord make her mine or let me die She looked at me. Her eyes! her eyes! They drew me in. Her sin! Her lies! I see my final night Glory, what a sight! The blood, the wine, the roses And me all snowy white Her hands on me, it's ecstasy. It's Heavenly, it's God I see I risk a kiss. One kiss One kiss! I knew from then my life had died Hold me now my father Now my days are done I would do it all again Because she was the one Torment me you fucking bastard! I'll seek you once I rise Look behind. I will slay your worthless blackend soul. |
