9. Where the Fire Forever Burns
1. Now She Walks the Shadows
All but gone
Her laughter still burns
Burden black, rosen red
The setting sun becomes her
Now she walks the shadows
Now she haunts the night
Nocturnal Queen
Forbidden fruit
Curse the light, bring forth the dark
True beauty erased by sunlight
Now she walks the shadows
Now she haunts the night
Ill the flesh
Longing night
May the last dawn now enter
...And the sun to drown in sin
Now she walks the shadows
Now she haunts the night
2. The Serpent's Kiss
The way I see may make you blind
The way I think may scar your mind
And evil are the words I speak
I am sin and sin you seek
Begging...
Thirsting...
Feeding...
...My hunger never at ease
Seduce/deceive
Go hand in hand
In my eyes they're the same
And you always knew
And still you beg
For the serpent's kiss
Do you dare to taste my soul
Do you dare among teh serpent's roll
And to wed their eyes and lick their tongues
I am them and your flesh is young
Crawling close
I'm the one you fear
But when I'm gone
You wish me near
Seduce/deceive
Go hand in hand
In my eyes they're the same
And you always knew
And still you beg
For the serpent's kiss
You tasted me
I tasted you
Your naked flesh
Your life undo
Seduce/deceive
Go hand in hand
In my eyes they're the same
And you always knew
And still you beg
For the serpent's kiss
3. And Julie is No More
The silence came so suddenly
No longer can I hear her breathe
Her grip of my hand now faded
So this is how it all would end
And Julie is no more
My love walked out the door
From which she'll never be returning
I hold her in my arms
And wish that nothing her may harm
Wherever she is going
Never thought I would be th one
The bleeder, the one left behind
The flesh of time is crying
Blood red tears from a wound never to heal
The silence screams in me
Its echoes howl (this cannot be)
From tears my eyes are burning
The fire eats away
The marks the sorrow and dismay
Paint death across my face
Paint it black
Sleep my love
Grow one with earth
Stay true to your nature
Don't ever dream of the above
Let your spirit wander among the wolves
Howl under the thousand faced moon
One day I will join you
And that day is coming soon
Dark years die slow
Just like an angel bleeding in the snow
White turns to red, death lies ahead
The silence came so suddenly
No longer am I to breath
The grip of life has faded
Mourning has come to an end
And life shall be no more
I followed thru the door
Where love lasts forever
I hold her in my arms
Embrace the wolves charm
Its loving yellow eyes
As yellow as mine
4. By My Own Hand
Who was I or was I really there
You didn't seem to know you didn't seem to care
Grew tired of being the nameless one
So I did what had to be done
Washed away the filth
From your sins now I'm clean
The sins never forgiven
Not even in hell you'll walk unseen
I couldn't put faith in me
I couldn't put faith in God
The only faith I found
Was in the knife that spilled my blood
In tears I laughed
As the blade slowly tore my veins
At last I was free
Free from all my pains
Now it's too late
For you to touch my lips with yours
And say you're sorry
'Cause my heart don't beat no more
And all that's left is what you'll bury
Worms now crawl in me
Crawling in my bones
They're the best of friends
And they enjoy my company
Six feet under there's a paradise
Within these wooden walls my Eden lies
I couldn't put faith in me
I couldn't put faith in God
The only faith I found
Was in the knife that spilled my blood
In tears I laughed
As the blade slowly tore my veins
At last I was free
Free from all my pains
Now it's too late
For you to touch my lips with yours
And say you're sorry
'Cause my heart don't beat no more
And all that's left is what you'll bury
Close those empty eyes
Forgive yourself but never life
Wash away the filth
Here comes the knife
In tears you laugh
As the blade slowly tears your veins
Read the blood
Read the truth within the stains
The shame you feel is turning into grace
And you're greeting death with a smile on your face
5. Chain
Days of torment
Days of truth
Living hell
Buried youth
Life is here
Life is dead
Hollowed eyes
Zombie head
Born in dirt
Sin and pain
Always to wear
A fucking chain
Tear my face
Who am I
Behind the mask
Smiles the lie
Life is here
Life is dead
Hollowed eyes
Zombie head
Born in dirt
Sin and pain
Always to wear
A fucking chain
"Bleeding in my hands
Bitter and sour
Lies the holy life
Long passed the hour
Awakening, ascending
Naked on the floor
In a cracked mirror I face the truth
The fact that I am nothing"
Orphan...crawl to your cross
Orphan...receive your chain
Days of torment
Days of truth
Living hell
Buried youth
Life is here
Life is dead
Hollowed eyes
Zombie head
Born in dirt
Sin and pain
Always to wear
A fucking chain
6. Adrift in Scarlet Twilight
Adrift and forlorn
Disguised and unborn
The night is crawling inside
The little left of joy and pride
Thorns...
Carve the wounds
Thorns...
Art in my flesh
Twilight red
My veins are screaming
Laughter dead
The thorns are gleaming
Scarlet sea
Godless tempter
Never again shall I be me
Burning skin
A fruit so sour
The illness within
To my soul devours
Thorns...
Carve the wounds
Thorns...
Art in my flesh
Twilight red
My veins are screaming
Laughter dead
The thorns are gleaming
Scarlet sea
Godless tempter
Never again shall I be me
The night has crawled inside
Nothing left of joy and pride
Scarlet for me
Scarlet for you
Thorns...
Carve the wounds
Thorns...
Art in my flesh
Twilight red
My veins are screaming
Laughter dead
The thorns are gleaming
Scarlet sea
Godless tempter
Never again shall I be me
7. In Black
Darker shade, darker breed
Darker thought, darker need
Pure in heart, clean in soul
Dead in life, empty hole
Black is the veil that hides our tears
Black is our life thru all its years
Black is our soul as it leaves the earth
Black is the child that awaits its birth
Angelworld, dying sky
Beautiful one in dirt to die
Scarecrow child alone to sing
That R & B, the hangman's swing
Black is the veil that hides our tears
Black is our life thru all its years
Black is our soul as it leaves the earth
Black is the child that awaits its birth
Darker shade, darker breed
Darker thought, darker need
Scarecrow child alone to sing
That R & B, the hangman's swing
Black is the veil that hides our tears
Black is our life thru all its years
Black is our soul as it leaves the earth
Black is the child that awaits its birth
8. Sunrise (Never Again)
Creature
Sinner
Evil
Lullaby from hell
Wishing well
I am the night, the dreams of blood
The claws that shred the sun
...the night, the weeping moon
Enemy..., Father
Feeble whore
Dying sun
Farewell
The sky turns red
The sun is dead
Victory
I am the night, the dreams of blood
The claws that shred the sun
...the night, the weeping moon
Enemy..., Father
"As the las drop of blood
Falls down from the sky
The children greet the darkness
With open arms
Their father has returned"
Sunrise never again
Creature
Warlord
Father
I am the night, the dreams of blood
The claws that shred the sun
...the night, the weeping moon
Enemy..., Father
9. Where the Fire Forever Burns
My sweet caress of fire
Burns gently thru your hair
You and I forever
In a burning lair
And the fire shall dance just for us
So come with me, we shall never return
Let me show you my Eden
Where the fire forever burns
Don't be afraid
These flames won't harm you now
But if you want a way
Or deny my love
Those flames shall burn your wings
Sweet little dove
Don't ever leave
There is no need to fly away
I'm all you want and could ever need
All I want is you to stay
And forever pleasing me with love
Telling me I'm the only one
And the fire is your home
But if not so you will burn
Trust me you will burn
And in my arms once again
You shall never be
You began to play to fire
To see if it burned
And so it did time after time
You longed for someone else
Flying so high, oh so high on virgin wings
As the fire below climbs higher and begins to sing
It sings of a dove so eager for love
But who wants to fly to another one
(Fly away)...In my flames you shall perish
"Burning love, burning dead
A light you'll never forget"
And you had to leave
Why I do not know
But deep inside (deep inside)
I know you're sorry
"My sweet caress of fire
Burns gently thru your hair
You and I forever
In a burning lair
And the fire shall dance just for us
So come with me, we shall never return
Let me show you my Eden
Where the fire forever burns"
