Sons of the black sky
Embrace the words from on high
Gather thy fruit before the famine
God hath given life to you
Seek the path which leads to truth
In this path stands the man in black

The man of wisdom speaks to your eyes
Thine trusting ear thy guilt confide
Find the comfort in the realm of secrecy
The devoured angel doth remain silent
In the boys ignorance lies the faith violent
With thy shame the strength breeds control

The serpent, your youth
The word, the broken truth
The blossom, your trust
The lie, the dire lust
The man, a boy
Forgiveness, his toy

The great rewarding of diligence
The clever twist of vigilance
Man of God thou art one to lust
Feed another the words of the doctrine
Give unto thee thy requiem
Thine praise is willing to bleed sorrow

The idiocy of infant spirituality
The devil is in their virginity
I, the father, gather the orphans of heaven
Speak to him of his scars
Yet the worst sore lies in thine own heart

'Tis not the world without true genius?
Nor the compelling apathy
Which beholdest the growth of wisdom

I sleep with the spirits
Those romantics of long ago
Whose ambition thee deemed foolish
Wherefore thou hath ye judgest?
Does thee not live without passion?
Passion is dead!
Thus thee be called foolish

With thy rotten virtues thee aspire
Desirest thou with no innocence
Looketh upon the art on tainted canvas
And pray for forgiveness with condition

Answers in their knowledge ignored
Now our enigmas
Naught the lepers hand ye harken
Thine guilt in sin be forever
So to this god thee adore
Bless thee of honor not of shame
And faith will show all the more

I slept with your silence
And I dreamt of your suffering
I awake and the scars still burn
Yet in darkness I can still see you
You and your love

I will walk forever
Until your kingdom is beautiful again
But my starving hope travels with me
And I must question your purpose
And your love

Help me to always remember
It seems so long ago
When you were so beautiful

The wounds are tired
The efforts are feeble
Eyes remain closed

Devoured by faith
The scapegoat is age
Amputate the healing hand

Warm is your soil
Enriched with memory
If the morning brings thee redemption
The flowers I will smell

I know you wept
When he stole your crown of life
But I will rejoice
When your Satan becomes my Christ
The final storm will break
In rain you fade

I do remember your glorious skies
An earth that shed tears of joy
With a crimson sun breathing warmth
And a watchful eye with a vision of grace
Grace and love

You filled our rivers with purity
We'd swim to wash the filth away
But I thought we'd see your love again
If it was ever that

Thy dark one, embrace me
In thou shadows cast, divine purity
Blissful journey ye hath given
Majestic color conjure great awe

Covered with golden leaves
Amidst thy nightfall
With thy soothing breeze

Undress ye from light, bathed in grey
Caressed by warmth, in thy womb I stay
Praise leaves my tongue, parched am I
Drink thy falling tears of misery not

Bring forth thy rain
Cleanse my burning scars
Tempt my frail heart

The great artist, ye canvas so pure
Through frailty of man thy beauty endure
With creeping shadows thy whispers sing
Let thy symphony subdueth me

Entwined with thy limbs
Thy must bring forth a kiss
Her love eternal

The twilight's masquerade
Erotic angel descend
Seductress taketh me away
May heaven's embers bring thee warmth
Under autumn's moon I stand reborn

Through the leaves, the wind flies
I hear thy voice, I feel thy cries
Innocent intent, with honest devotion
Rewarded with fire, pillaged and raped

When on thy knees
Enshrined in frozen fear
Ye still maintain thy love

Thy trees stand strong, thy wolves protect
See the resilience which thy reflect
With thy snow ashes dissolve
Risen once more, enriched with life

Watch over me
I shall never fall
I shall never leave

Thy dark one, what does ye see?
In thou shadows cast, mortality?
Behind thy veil terror doth dwell
My heart feels thy tremble

What comes with time?
Does thy beauty die?
Who hears thee cry?

The twilight's masquerade
Erotic angel descend
Seductress taketh me away
May heaven's embers bring thee warmth
Under autumn's moon we stand reborn
Her love eternal

That day holds true
The day of our dying mother
In the mist of the rain
The wind runs through your greens
And I remember when our children did the same

In the landscape of darkness
Where is our shame?
We know who is to blame
Please my dear give us another chance
Even though we do not deserve it
For your rivers of life will be dry tomorrow

For in death my love
We do not part
May your decay reveal our selfishness
Mankind, I no longer want to be a part of this
With great sorrow we beg for your forgiveness

That day holds true
The day of the slaughtered heart
In the mist of the rain
The wind runs through your hair
And I remember when my hands did the same

In the landscape of sadness
There is no shame
Just the question of blame
Please my dear save your prayers to heaven
And lift your veil of sorrow
For your river of tears will fill my veins tomorrow

For in death my love
We do not part
Our spirits shall rise and reign the skies
Our souls will create glorious passion
That the human form could only dream of

Give us another chance

Her head hangs low
Tears cascade down her cheek
Her trembling hands grasp another flower
Her skin shows a life lived long
Her eyes a portrait of misery
Yet she has never looked so beautiful to me

Knelt before the tomb
That is where she wept....for the last time

Come with me my love
Soon it will be time for us
Leave mankind behind
For they know not of this love divine

Amongst horrible ruin
That is where she wept....for the last time

At last we rest
In oblivion's womb
We are alone...together
