A Dream Of Poe - Sorrow For The Lost Lenore lyrics



Tracks



01. Laudanum

Simple enough
I'm exhausted
Terrible noise
And vibration

Vision is black
Tormented days
Trembling hands
Of shallow dirt

Seems so long. The devils are strong
The burden is bigger everyday
Oh roses and poison...

Drunk in desire now
And long lost for you
In the meadows of nightmares
Oh roses and poison

Fire deep the throat
To sever the skin
I'm drowning myself
Into another drop of despair
Cripples my heart, tears it apart
I'm not giving up
Of dancing in the meadows of paradise

My words come filled with doom in this candle light
Now the cup is out of my sight
Gone into the far and darkened gloom
I dream for evermore felling the
Loneliness of Lenore

Teach me dear raven
Where the sun doesn't burn
So I can finally dream of a poison
That will return
Oh help me gentle wine to last one more night
This heart is not mine
Guide me back to light

Simple enough
I'm exhausted
Terrible noise
And vibration

Vision is black
Tormented days
Trembling hands
Of shallow dirt

Seems so long the devils are strong
The burden is bigger every day
Oh roses and poison

Drunk in desire now
And long lost for you
In the meadows of a nightmare
Oh roses and poison

Teach me dear raven
Where the sun doesn't burn
So I can finally dream of a poison
That will return
Oh help me gentle wine to last one more night
This heart is not mine
Guide me back to light

Keep this bottle laid before me
Chanting ambary melodies
Of times that will never ever come
Another drop of green luxury
I'm drowning myself in laudanum and mercury

How can I regret the life I've sold
This winter day is so cold
I may dream for evermore
For a glance of the lost Lenore

02. The Loss Of The Lost

Systems down
I'm opening...to you.
But sorrow's in
Everything I knew.

"Take the line
Sever the wine
Under a twisted fever mind
To see the loss of mankind"

"There's a ghost
It's my gentle host
With a twisted fever mind
It's the loss of mankind"

Shine trough the glass
Oh mirrors of deception
In storms no one can see
I take a taste of inner sanity
The loss of the lost
Forgotten shadows
I travel through misery
To find only me

We slept all our lives
To awake amongst our past
But there's silence in between
Burn me for believing
What's hope in a world so dead?

Give me your hand
And come taste the sadness
Of ghosts
Of shadows
Of prisons without end
Of death
And lies
Of bestiality without end

Come if you can my darkest friend
As above so below
Here is my heart for you to throw
And I am here to rot with this world
Together...together...together now

Systems down
I'm opening...to you.
But sorrow's in
Everything I knew.

I made a mistake
I'm about to brake
The weirder the better
With whispers of ether
I am the escaped one,
After I was born
They locked me up inside me
But I left.

My soul seeks me,
Through hills and valley,
I hope my soul
Never finds me.

03. Gentle Whisper

Fields of flowers
Crops of sorrow
Spreading fresh air
To the ones of tomorrow

That gentle and innocent look
Expressing the sadness
Involving that young soul
Into the deepest madness

Little one, free your mind
Let the wind blow trough
Your weak soul

You can continue crawling
Look behind that window
Whisper gently, whisper...

Little one, free your hope
Open your hand
So I can grab you

Keep on stretching your hand
So it could be possible to grab you

04. For My Fallen Angel

As I draw up my breath,
And silver fills my eyes.
I kiss her still,
For she will never rise.

On my weak body,
Lays her dying hand.
Through those meadows of Heaven,
Where we ran.

Like a thief in the night,
The wind blows so light.
It wars with my tears,
That won't dry for many years.

"Loves golden arrow
At her should have fled,
And not Deaths ebon dart
To strike her dead."

05. Whispers Of Osiris

Dance in the dark for me
Glance gently the river to be free
Seven years dying is not a lot
When you are a whisper on an open cut
Two and three and all your simple sympathy

A box of fleshy memories...
Ancient stones of old mysteries
I see the door but there are no keys
No voice in the muddy waters
To lift me up of these watery tragedies
And it grows and flows
Down a stream of consciousness
The silent whisper of a friend
Who dies over and over again...

- This is not a goodbye -
Sever the parts as chaos
- Just destiny -
- This is not a goodbye -
The magic never quite seems the same
- Just Destiny -
- This is not a goodbye -
Hold it up high enough
- Just Destiny -
- This is not a goodbye-
And call it by its name
- This is not a goodbye -

Seven angels crying is not a lot
When you are a whisper of an open cut
I miss the ghost as it came by
Every night waving goodbye

Join the pain
My dearest gloom of destiny
Join all this sweet insanity
And it grows and flows
Down a stream of consciousness
The silent whisper of a friend
Who dies over and over again...
