Light, light fades to grey
Time, time slips away Time slips away Endlessly Graced by the veils of my mind Endlessly Endlessly Graced by the veils of my mind Endlessly Life, life found a way Dreams, they came to stay They came to stay Endlessly Graced by the veils of my mind Endlessly Endlessly Graced by the veils of my mind Endlessly Free, free from my pain Flee, flee the mundane Tear the mundane Endlessly Graced by the veils of my mind Endlessly Endlessly Graced by the veils of my mind Endlessly Endlessly Graced by the veils of my mind Endlessly Endlessly Graced by the veils of my mind Endlessly 02. Lost Words
Lost tales of pain and sorrow
Obscured by time Unseen the tearshed fellow Rhyme after rhyme Tales of misery Words of misery Lost for evermore Lost in nevermore Lost words by sad and hollowed Voices decline Untold but still enticing Thoughts to entwine Somewhere in blackened eons Memories will stray Unheard in timeless silence Shrouded they'll stay 03. Crown of Thorns (Part II, III & IV)
You don't know what you've done
You're heartless Like a serpent with virtuous eyes You're a crawling lie Just a fool's disguise Crown of thorns Perpetuate your lies today To make my dignity decay Like a G-point of your hate I am the scapegoat you create I'll never wear your Crown of Thorns I don't care what you've done You're spineless Words so blameful are shameless false Tell me, what are you when your conscience calls? Crown of Thorns You don't know where I have been And you don't know what I have seen You can't feel what I have felt And you can't go where I have dwelt I'll never wear your Crown of Thorns 04. La Danse Macabre

05. Morpheus (My Deadly Friend)
Oh god, I wish the morning came
I still hear them (behind my door) They're singing in the dark A creation infernal, unholy overture In the shadows of my attic Morpheus, my deadly friend I'm begging thee, please leave me be Oh god, I wish the morning came I still hear them The twisted shapes I dread Concealed yet so present In timeless hours drowned in fear for the sandman I'm waiting in the dark I'm giggling and laughing A libretto of the damned Oh god, I wish the morning came I still hear them From every angle burning eyes Godless hatred, a gathering grotesque Beyond my mind, a frightful kind Giggling, squirming, twisting, turning I'm begging thee... 06. The Loser's Trail
Life's a painful stride
Shameful tears I'll hide Step by step- a limping gait Mile after mile- a faithless state Stumbling on through thick and thin Through the shadows and within The longest race cannot be won The loser's trail, I walk upon I'm a wayward child Pure but yet defiled Day by day- a friendless age Year after year- an ageless race 07. Prelude
[Instrumental]
08. The Beggar's Waltz
A simple boy of common strain
A low bread without class Soil his name and spit at him Just laugh and turn away A little boy who's lost his pride A little boy who's dignity died No fairy tales can cheer him up As life just fed him lies No summer sun can bring him warmth Nor light to wilted eyes He is a puppet upon a string He will dance if you will sing Painful yearning... Relentless turning... In the beggar's waltz |
