1. I Am But One
See how I manage to be just one
I could falter and wither and be just one
The languid state of my sorry soul
Is a proof that we'll never be as one
2. All Love is Gone
All Love Is Gone
(l:Salles/Thrall m:Salles)
Late at night I close my eyes
Alas! The lighten candle dies
I feel the presence of the dark
I strive my thoughts away from you
Flowing like a river of feelings
My conscience so pale
And all the love that's gone
Brings me tragic nightmares
"You walk in beauty like the night
Of cloudless climes and starry skies,
And all that's best of dark and bright
Meet in your aspect and your eyes.
One shade the more, one ray the less,
Had half impair'd the nameless grace
Which waves in every raven tress,
Or softly lightens o'er her face;
Where thoughts serenely sweet express
How pure, how dear their dwelling-place.
And on that cheek, and o'er that brow,
So soft, so calm, yet eloquent,
The smiles that win, the tints that glow,
But tell of days in goodness spent,
A mind at peace with all below,
A heart whose love is innocent!"
Take from me my emptiness
I've never felt (true) love in my life;
A bitter life that no one ever cared
The taste of wine lingers in my mind
The wine that spilled right out from your wounds
Into my mouth and shattering my life
I thank you so my beloved ones
3. A View of the End
You left me without strength before I rose
Entering the gates of loneliness
You saw me in disgrace
You carried away all my laughter
And gave me the cold of darkness
Covered me up with no hope
And took away all my bliss
The view of the end, emotions rise.
My innocent heart suffers inside
So sad, so blind, so out of my mind
So sad, so blind, just leave me to die
Will I wait forever?
Is this my punishment?
Please, don't leave me in darkness
Please, reach the light again with me
I was lost in my own dimension
And even if I tried to awake, I would never escape.
Into my illusions; horizons with no colours
Give me a distance to reach my other me in horror
Even if I ran in the pouring rain
Voices would surround me,
Casting a spell that mangled my mind
I felt the emptiness brake my chances
And leave no choice for me
The breeze of sorrow blew inside of me
Bringing back all my sad emotions
I froze my conscience
And fell asleep amidst my torment,
Laid down my soul under withering leaves
And now I'm eternally alone...
4. Escapism
A mortal sign ascends from time to time
Unto every man that succumbs to deep temptations
On the verge of triumph the poet hesitates and fades
Too much emotions cling to tragic lullabies
I feel the dark
I deny existence
I bathe in blood
That flows from me
Fear of deceptions for fear is alive
Unable to live but able to die
Abandoned so early whilst love was aroused
No meaning to live; to watch my heart pound
I cry for God but I'm ignored
And desperately cry to engrave my thoughts
They have all gone, but left you here
I love you still and ever will
My fate drew me to burial
The life I lived; mistaken one
My pleads for death gone into me
In death's embrace I'll dance with thee
An acclaimed deception, had no reason to live
Had he willingly chosen to believe in his will
The empty feeling would have passed by his eyes
For another to witness this final demise
So close to him she lay...
She fell to her knees
I could not hear her heart beat
My tears mixed with her blood
And nothing more was heard
5. Through My Eyes
I never thought one so lonely as though,
Amidst the ever repeating sunset play,
Gaze through my eyes and into my thoughts.
Your dark eyes darken with the deepest clouds.
Deep as bleak moors in the winter's breeze.
I watch upon your bloodless skin so smooth.
I watch and wonder: Why do you not move?
6. Presence Ignored
Whence does so much devastation come from?
Deceit, hatred, delusions,
Creating bonds of disunion.
All that will be left is a great loss.
7. Lost in Your Complexity
I'd give you the soul of this boy that is in front of you.
His useless life isn't enough to beseech all your love.
As you put sight in this poor boy that is ready with fear,
To flourish through darkness and enter your complexity.
Aching as flowers refused,
Then you loose grip on emotions;
With sadness we're doomed.
The frost is inside you killing you through
Burning your heart in the name of truth.
In fear, we sear.
Again in tears.
Recall the years when fights appeared.
Remember dear, those lonely years.
You turn, with fear, to not see me crying here.
Why? Why does your sun shine this way?
Say no more, cast me to die just today.
Fighting within.
Our quest tastes like an open wound.
Now that's all over; this quest will never come through.
I can't wait for any answers,
I'm so lost to go any further.
Man might never know for sure
The complex equations of love and truth.
(So) face the abnormal strength within you,
Just when you loose the chance to choose.
8. Of Emotions
When tears dry
I finally have a sign
That my love for you
Is just a dreamkind
When tears dry
I finally have a sign
That my love for you
Is just a dreamkind
When tears dry
I loose my mind
And memories fall asleep in a dream
Then I feel emptiness once again
With deep pain inside
A wicked mind behind her eyes
Her beauty's beyond heaven and hell
And her voice gave me a dark will
Whispering in silence, dancing with desire
You make me feel forever
But it's really killing me
Blood shed from my heart
Like a decorative colour
In your sick gallery of emotions
Hence I'll say farewell
9. As Years Pass By
And I'm still living that moment...
I hear in the symphony of winds,
The whispering of her voice
Echoing beautifully in my thoughts;
The supreme melody of enchantment
Embracing me in pure ecstasy.
I'm living in my fantasy
Bringing my winter with graciousness
Guiding myself unto cloudy skies
She casts the lies in my head.
Drinking my wine with relish
She's using all her malice
She holds my hands in glee
Leaving me in misery
Immortal beauty, endless cruelty
Am I worthy of her passion?
Or even to touch her body when the night falls?
Freeze with the ocean of heartless emotions
Deal with the fact that she's not there
Grasp for an answer to all simple chapters
Read with the insight of unsecurity
Fate becomes desolated
Observing all the suffering
That she brought me
I'll embrace her soul
Not like before
I'll be coming with my blackened heart.
Into the emptiness of darkness
A great lament has been heard,
Flesh and soul were united
In the scars of a cursed past
Through never-ending fevered nightmares
My tears shall bring grave sickness to mankind
10. Avant Les Ténèbres
Nous étions comme la lune brillante
Et l'océan qui la reflète
Jamais nous avons eu des tempêtes ou les gens
On été capables de nous séparer
Mais comme dans les histoires racontées
La fin inévitable s'etait éveillé
11. Angel After Dark
I've lost all of my hope
You can't say that I haven't tried
I still feel your love
This must be all that I've got
I've learnt so much with you
I know how I'm gonna take it
Please don't leave me now
Hear me, stay a little longer
This can't be true
Fuck! I love you...
After dark you're far from me
You are an angel as I can see
Another day by your side
Is enough for me to die in peace
I live in sadness
You are the dark
I live in sadness
You are my darkness
I see you before I die
Try this sadness
See what happens
Dark yet senseless
You are reckless
Face my madness
My life shatters
When you stab my heart
12. Sceptical and Gone
I've tought something to you
And you know that I can't betray you
Please try to understand
Leave me, try to be happy without me...
Without me.
