1. Sister
I feel the sadness in an open mind
Painted disciples telling only lies
So many times we've walked the roads to madness in our lives
The gloating doubt - A feral scream that emanates from within
The tactless charm of nightmares
A fear so incandescent
We feed the sorrow that is ours
And so the story ends.......
I feel the countless days and reveries
Twisting obsession knows no end
Bestowed on us - this crown of thorns
to amplify despair
Becomes a cherished ornament
- A symbol so arcane
Every day a nightmare - every word brings darkness
My love - if only you were here
- to revel in your shame
So many nights we play the part
A bloody tear shed in vain
While waiting for the dawn that never comes
A novella etched in pain
Until the darkness calls you from the sky
Until the twisted words run by
I see you waiting all alone......
A magnet symbiotic
Born from discontent
Will bury us when hope surrenders......
And every time - I feel the autumn chill
- I think of you
So many words - that always say goodbye
And every time - I think of you
So many words...say goodbye
If only i had....one more night with you
To drink the sadness in your eyes.....
2. Emotion - Time & Resonance
Alone in silence..as the memories fill my mind
The bitter taste of past regrets and feelings lost in time...
I feel your pain inside of me...
the empathy so pure.
the light descending
Emotion is the creulest word....
Awake in sadness...
is there nowhere left to hide?
From sorrow that envelopes me
and tears the world apart
The coldness lives inside of me...An empty shell.
A shattered heart
Emotion is the cruelest word
- an unrequited love
Becomes a gentlesuicide...
from thoughtless words
And as the years go by.
I have yet to find my way...
3. Emotion - Killing Thoughts
The hatred turned to agony
The pain that comes with knowing what will never be...
A night that never ends - yet i remember...
All the hopes we had for better days
have turned to dust
And its all become inconsequential
As we search for meaning to this travesty
- in a world torn apart
We find nothing but ourselves....
An abstinence from human touch
A heart that feels too little....or too much
The days all seem the same - do you remember?
All the hopes we had for better days
have turned to dust
When we realized it was never meant to be
Like a prisoner in a mind of broken dreams
- my feelings lost inside
There is nothing but ourselves.......
The killing thoughts and poetry you gave to me
An existential-self-destruction
As we search for meaning in lucidity
We find nothing but ourselves.
4. Sands Of Time
I stare across a vacant land and search
for what i used to see
Eroded now - a victim of fragility
The solitude is linear - imprinted so indellably
That i know not what is real - nor what is fantasy
I tried...tried so long......
We trace the years - The scars that never heal
Obscure what once was so clear
Lost amidst the sands of time
Never to be seen again
What is truth but a point of view?
Your strength was so vulnerable - I see that now
The only test of time thats true
Is that it has no meaning without you
Only time will tear us apart
- Forever in my mind.....
We trace the years - The scars that never heal
Obliteration beckoning once more
Lost across the sands of time
Never will we pass this way again......
5. Alchemy
Twice held in infamy
- Once more to rot beneath the sun.....
A chosen one?
Splendor or sanity - reveal yourself to me......
Eager in your discontent
A winterset so cold
The dream is fading fast - an ego uncontrolled
You look so terrified - tell me what you see
Loves lost - Im all alone - free this misery
Lamenting tales of woe
- the darkness drains my skin
Preserved so gracefully - a process without end
Detach inequity - severed authority
Life irreversible - within a single grasp......
Alchemy - Take my hand
- alive in this nether land.....
Alchemy - understand - Change is happening ......
Alchemy - now you see - beyond this narrow mind.....
Alchemy................
Confusion regins supreme - rebirth in chaos true
Alignment is complete, my friend - ashes to gold
Your hope is scarified - A lustful animation
A life beyond control - Truth in disguise......
Beyond this mortal coil - collective hierarchy
A lost forgotten soul - alive in anarchy
Yo will assimilate - organic chemistry
A change will come to you
in a future unforeseen.......
Alchemy - Take my hand
- alive in this nether land.....
Alchemy - understand - Change is happening ......
Alchemy - now you see - beyond this narrow mind.....
Alchemy................
Alchemy.........
6. Fatality Complex
Darkness has fallen...A light fades in the night
Once aglow in the distance....Now a spectre in flight....
Why am i empty?
Why do i feel this pain?
You see now, as tears fall - A life forever stilled..
The dream gone - unrealized - Denied and unful-filled...
All our hope forgotten...
Can you hear my cries?
Has the vision died?
Awake in this nightmare...
All my fears have come to be....
Echoing sadness...
In the faces that i see..
Sins of the father - Revisited once again...
You see now, as tears fall - A life forever stilled..
The dream gone - unrealized - Denied and unful-filled..
Morning has broken
But the darkness tastes the same...
Alone in the shadows...
As madness calls my name
Serpentine Sister......
Forever in apathy...
You see now, as tears fall - A life forever stilled..
The dream gone - unrealized - Denied and unful-filled..
Can you hear me....call your name?
7. Requiem By Moonlight
A distant memory
Your winsome smile
Brings recollections
of unholy fire
I remember - how it all came to pass
Pallid moonlight - so serene in my mind
Gold to ashes - skin to parchment...and to dust
Warm and sanguine - this new sustencance
Sunrise burns deep - sunset im free
Another night to kill - for murdered sleep
Years forgotten - in a timeless duet
Screams resounding...from a reluctant embrace
Alabaster - this moth - eaten saint
Addiction - Seduction...give me life.....
Sunrise burns deep - Sunset im free
Another night to kill - for murdered sleep
Sunrise burns deep - Sunset im free
A jaded avatar - will you go with me?
8. Seventh Sign
So many times we've looked around
So many times we tried to find
Can this world be all there is?
Strange visions playing in my mind
Just another day....Another day
Throwing rocks against the wall
Broken windows open doors
Just another place another time
Mirror mirror in the water
Show me the way to the altar
Cries from beyond the real world
Fantastic images she holds...She holds
Stranded in the sea of sand
Is there nothing left to find?
Looking far beyond your dreams
See reflections in your eyes
Just another day....Another day
Seventh sign...makes you realize
Closed minds - are you blind?
Seventh sign - thoughts are fleeting
Voices cry...Seventh sign...
