Bring me fire
Picture the darkness, without any warning You're down on your knees with a wolf at your throat I will not save you, your lies have just killed you I won't stand between you and your wicked soul Bring me fire Coming for your blood Bring me fire Coming through the dark There in the forest the Satyrs are hungry They cry for the blood of the man you once were They will protect me their princess forever I will set them free to atone for your sins Bring me fire Coming for your blood Bring me fire Coming through the dark Oh sweet cantation serve me, your mistress Take what was drawn from me, my virgin heart. Bring me fire Coming for your blood Bring me fire Coming through the dark Unclean and faithless my prince you are condemned To fire and brimstone for all of your days Oh sweet cantation serve me, your mistress Take what was drawn from me, my virgin heart. Bring me fire 02. Sarah (Bury Her) Music by Pythia Lyrics by Emily Alice Ovenden
I've been in purgatory
I've been in chains for oh so many years And it's a mystery How this neglect can bring me ever near. You are a sanctuary, but must agree You never give yourself And I cannot compete with Sarah No I cannot compete with Sarah She was the one who never broke your heartstring She was the virgin in an icy tomb Didn't she say that it would last forever? But when she fell she broke a thousand hearts for you Marry me or bury me to. Now it is clear to me That you are just a soul who's in despair You're never cruel to me because I feel you're never really there I should have closed this door Left long before I ever heard her name For I cannot compete with Sarah No I cannot compete with Sarah She was the one who never broke your heartstring She was the virgin in an icy tomb Didn't she say that it would last forever? But when she fell she broke a thousand hearts for you Marry me or bury me to. She was the one who never broke your heartstring She was the virgin in an icy tomb Didn't she say that it would last forever? But when she fell she broke a thousand hearts for you You have to give more 03. Tristan Music by Pythia Lyrics by Emily Alice Ovenden
I dreamt last night that you were here again,
Tristan do you remember the death of love? I can see clearly the past when you called me your child Rose from the tomb of my heart to be crush by his light Dark lord hold me You control me You should know me By my faithful heart Tristan How we would dance in the shadows So cast by the moon Master have pity your Child needs you blistering heat Dark lord hold me You control me You should know me By my faithful heart Tristan Will you return to your daughter who burns for your touch? Father each drop of the blood in my veins is for you. Dark lord hold me You control me You should know me By my faithful heart Tristan Dark lord hold me You control me You should know me I am your faithful heart 04. Ride For Glory Music by Pythia Lyrics by Emily Alice Ovenden
I'd be a liar if I said this wasn't hell
Waiting for your heart to find me And in the darkness when I cast my evil spell All I find is light to blind me Saddle up my love It's time we ran this race of pain No more tears to shed It's time to end this stupid game And be the master of the hunt Ride for glory I do not believe that we can End this story Ride for glory on the steeds of hell. The steeds of hell will never cease to conquer man's desire to flee Their hooves of fire will rage and storm and leave a woman's love forlorn We're running wild but we can't seem to halt the pace I will not kneel just to kiss you You rein me in but you're a man I can't replace So I whip you just to miss you Saddle up my love It's time we ran this race of pain No more tears to shed It's time to end this stupid game Ride for glory I do not believe that we can End this story Ride for glory on the steeds of hell. The steeds of hell will never cease to conquer man's desire to flee Their hooves of fire will rage and storm and leave a woman's love forlorn Saddle up my love It's time we ran this race of pain No more tears to shed It's time to end this stupid game Ride for glory I do not believe that we can End this story Ride for glory on the steeds of hell. 05. My Pale Prince Music by Pythia Lyrics by Emily Alice Ovenden
Where were you my pale prince
When my heart was suffering for you? Were you standing at the gates The waters black and running ever deep Winter comes, on my knees Petals fall, do you bleed? Did I feel you reach for me Your fingers frozen to the very bone? Searching for some empathy I feel the passion spilling from your veins. (Can you feel me reaching for you now, Pythia? Can you feel me?) Distant sands, bloom to seed Snow on snow, do you bleed? After all these naked yearnings Can you feel me suffering for you? (Can you feel me reaching for you now, Pythia? Can you feel me?) Winter comes, on my knees Petals fall, do you bleed? Distant sands, bloom to seed Snow on snow, do you bleed? Do you know you are my pale prince? 06. Eternal Darkness Music by Pythia Lyrics by Emily Alice Ovenden
Oh my dreamer
Will you not be stronger now? My hearts is broken I have waited patiently for you Oh my heart break Will you never set me free? I long to heal you. I will sacrifice myself to you Surely it is not for angels To be bleeding for the hearts Of others who are worthy of The blackest flames? Eternal darkness All these memories And I still have learnt from nothing I would chance it I would love you if you only could Surely it is not for angels To be bleeding for the hearts Of others who are worthy of The blackest flames? Eternal darkness I will love you till I die, until my body Is a sancturay for worms Surely it is not for angels To be bleeding for the hearts Of others who are worthy of The blackest flames? Eternal darkness 07. What You Wish For Music by Pythia Lyrics by Emily Alice Ovenden
It's a weakness, it's a sickness
It's the very core of what we do It's a story of a heart beat But the end is not complete with Oh baby please Don't put your hands on me They're cold and unease The very nature of me And I want you and I need you But it's not over till I sleep Full moon rising Where should we begin? (In suffering) There was something in the darkness Something so wild and undefined It was hunger, drew me to you But the end was never about Oh baby please Don't be so cruel to me It's not this disease That breaks each bone in me So be careful what you wish for For it is never what you need Full moon rising Where should we begin? (In suffering) What you wish for will be granted All your dreams will be enchanted Full moon rising Where should we begin? (In suffering) 08. Oedipus Music by Pythia Lyrics by Emily Alice Ovenden
Drink up son
Life is what you make it While you're having fun I am lost inside your point of view Through and through You were gone So I started drinking Was I in the wrong? For wishing that you're bleeding for me too Through and through Break the chain, let the pain recede Until you wake again from these ashes Spill the vein, time to let the water Wash you clean again Your father loves you Break the chain Take the hate, burn it to the ground Burn it to the ground Break the chain Take the hate, burn it to the ground Burn it to the ground In this world we are made of pieces Either young or old Good or bad or just a little lost At your cost You will find That your patience only goes as far as mine Not an inch beyond your final breath That is death Break the chain, let the pain recede Until you wake again from these ashes Spill the vein, time to let the water Wash you clean again Your father loves you Break the chain Take the hate, burn it to the ground Burn it to the ground Break the chain Take the hate, burn it to the ground Burn it to the ground Pray for us my son. 09. Army Of The Damned Music by Pythia Lyrics by Emily Alice Ovenden
We are the army of the damned
Men of a far forgotten land Thousands of years have passed us by And still you will hear our cry We left our homes to fight this war We don't remember what was for Still we advance both day and night Until the time comes to fight And so they flee from us, our kindred and our kin They will not stand for us and all that we have been The blood will flow from us forever and a day Our oaths are broken by their sins We gave up all that we could give So that our children could but live We march forever to the drum Of battle that will not come We hear our lovers cry, through they are dead and gone We hear our comrades sing that everlasting son We cannot feel the sun though morning has just come We are but shadows of the past Will we find forgiveness, will we? Have mercy on us Father forgive all these men Who cannot feel the sun though morning has just come We are but shadows of the past. We are the army of the damned Men of a far forgotten land What I would give to see her face And love her once more Brian Blessed performs the poem "Suicide In The Trenches" by Siegfried Sassoon "I knew a simple soldier boy Who grinned at life in empty joy, Slept soundly through the lonesome dark, And whistled early with the lark. In winter trenches, cowed and glum, With crumps and lice and lack of rum, He put a bullet through his brain. No one spoke of him again. You smug-faced crowds with kindling eye Who cheer when soldier lads march by, Sneak home and pray you'll never know The hell where youth and laughter go." 10. No Compromise Music by Pythia Lyrics by Emily Alice Ovenden
So the beast is here
And we just sit and wait Whilst he takes his fill His wolves are at the door We left it open wide What a bitter pill There is no compromise there is no truth or lies This is one more setting sun What have we become When this life is over What are the odds that we'll never be free? There is no compromise Waking alone at night, never to dream There is no compromise What of the lands that burn under the sun? There is no compromise Where will our children go when we are done? There is no compromise You think that the beast is God His words are so sweetly made But Gods has left this place Now that it's up to us Will you just turn and run Or will you stand your ground? There is no compromise there is no truth or lies This is one more setting sun What have we become When this life is over What are the odds that we'll never be free? There is no compromise Waking alone at night, never to dream There is no compromise What of the lands that burn under the sun? There is no compromise Where will our children go when we are done? There is no compromise Where will they go? There is no compromise there is no truth or lies This is one more setting sun What have we become When this life is over What are the odds that we'll never be free? There is no compromise Waking alone at night, never to dream There is no compromise What of the lands that burn under the sun? There is no compromise Where will our children go when we are done? There is no compromise |
