02. Restless Oblivion
My paralyzed heart
Is bleeding... My love's torn apart Desire to be free A bleak garden to cry When my inamorato died Loveless so real Lifeline of mortality Condemned to misery Restless oblivion forever A bleak garden to cry When my inamorato died My visionary dreams are vanquished Aspirations fade away Reverence dies within A bleak garden to cry When my inamorato died 03. Shroud Of Frost
Undying odyssey... a myriad of times
The soul has seen Through eyes of heaven The imperium of earth There's nothing left to perceive Help me to escape from this existence I yearn for an answer... can you help me? I'm drowning in a sea of abused visions and shattered dreams In somnolent illusion... I'm paralyzed Infinity distraction A pious human disorder Blind to passage of souls Conclusion from one remembrance Help me to escape... Transfixed... I gaze through my window at a world lying under a shroud of frost. In a forlorn stupor I feel the burning of staring eyes, yet no one is here. Detached from reality, in the Knowing of dreams, we know the entity of ensuing agony waits to clasp us in its cold breast, in an empty room. We awake and it's true... I dreamt of the sun's demise, awoke to a bleak morning. In the emptiness I beheld fate for the dead light is a foretelling of what will be... I saw a soul drift from life, through death, and arrive at Elysian fields in welcoming song. Yet I stand in a dusk-filled room despondently watching the passing of the kindred spirit... and there is no song... just a delusion of silence. 04. We The Gods
How can you climb a mountain to kill a God?
Why do you cross unknown lands, to kill our Gods? Why do you build walls.... to starve our Gods? Is it for the same reason you blind us? Is this why you punish our children? And rape our sisters? When will we drown? When will we burn? Will you die with us? I think so You are slicing your own wrists You are tearing out your own hearts And you are drowning your own children So you can end it ....... Or we will We are telling them the truth And revealing all your lies We do not need to climb a mountain Or to cross unknown lands..... ....... Because we are Gods And we will drown you We will burn your homes We the people, we the spirits, we the Gods. 05. Sunset Of Age
Throne of grief
...in a dying essence Crying beauty ...the fettered aura Forgotten oceans of hope ...Betrayed a phony Sullen laughter in unventured paradise As one forever searching For landscapes serene Amidst the sunset of age With joyous masquerade... ...the summers died 06. Mine Is Yours
Be smothered in life
Listen, listen, listen The written word will devour you And burn your mind I'm burning your mind I am entering your soul My promise to love and caress you Mirrors destiny and breathes the universe Before Tomb ........ (Regression) Taste me Let the angels wings close And shield you I bleed for you In the shadows and the recesses You'll find dark Yearn (me) From the dark all is revealed Light sheds through Bleed with me We will share the light and dark Together and more 07. Sleepless
And I often sigh
I often wonder why I'm still here and I still cry And I often cry I often spill a tear Over those not here But still they are so near Please ease my burden And I still remember A memory and I weep In my broken sleep The scars they cut so deep Please ease my burden Please ease my pain Surely without war there would be no loss Hence no mourning, no grief, no pain, no misery No sleepless nights missing the dead ... Oh, no more No more war 08. The Silent Enigma
In dreamland grandeur
I held mesmerized peace Innocence breathed again A mind's escape Leave walls of tears behind Ethereal vision haunting still... The solitude left me blind Beneath an open sky Sibilant cries of youth dying Enslave me with grief A moonlit era, oblivion's twilight kiss Wishes in lament Happiness in a broken vision Utopia still unborn... Tormented echoes of a fallen Eden I longed for her beauty Yet from dust, she returned The dream, an enigma... silent 09. A Dying Wish
I bear the seed of ruin
A golden age turned to stone Elysium... to dust For this, a tragic journey A vision of a dying embrace Scattered earth Silence... Where Echonia wept I sank into the silent desert Fallen am I, In solitude of a broken promise ...I cried alone My empyrean is a scar From the memory of her beautiful life Forever was her name Fulfillment lost in a lifetime of regret Ornate peace would cover me As I would die now... For one last wish 10. Sweet Tears
In each others arms
We cried together And your tears tasted sweet All is not lost And never to be forgotten Like a shiver down my spine The lonely nights keep falling And I still want you All is not lost And never to be forgotten She's passed away but dreaming Her soul's awake and screaming The weeping willow is weeping And beneath our hearts ... ... all joy is sleeping our bliss is carried away ... sweet tears 11. Mine Is Yours
Be smothered in life
Listen, listen, listen The written word will devour you And burn your mind I'm burning your mind I am entering your soul My promise to love and caress you Mirrors destiny and breathes the universe Before Tomb ........ (Regression) Taste me Let the angels wings close And shield you I bleed for you In the shadows and the recesses You'll find dark Yearn (me) From the dark all is revealed Light sheds through Bleed with me We will share the light and dark Together and more 12. The Silent Enigma
In dreamland grandeur
I held mesmerized peace Innocence breathed again A mind's escape Leave walls of tears behind Ethereal vision haunting still... The solitude left me blind Beneath an open sky Sibilant cries of youth dying Enslave me with grief A moonlit era, oblivion's twilight kiss Wishes in lament Happiness in a broken vision Utopia still unborn... Tormented echoes of a fallen Eden I longed for her beauty Yet from dust, she returned The dream, an enigma... silent 13. Hope
When you look at me
From your own century I may seem to be Strange archeology But when the winds blow From this direction You may sense that I'm In your reflection I think I feel you But I will never know As the swallows leave And the children grow I wanted to live forever The same as you will too I wanted to live forever And everybody knew When I caught you there In tomorrows mirror I thought I felt you Jump out of my skin Throwing oil into My blazing memories Filling empty footsteps I was standing in I wanted to live forever The same as you will too I wanted to live forever And everybody knew As the falling rain Of the northern jungle Hanging droplets on the leaves Bombards my brain I hear you Across the room A sea of daffodils spring into bloom You are the mist The frost across my window pane And again She moves her body And her whispers weave And the world spins And tells me that I'll never want to leave As I think of you From this dark century I will always be With generosity That we both may share The hope in hearing That we're not just Spirits disappearing |
