CHALICE LYRICS
"Chalice" (1997 Demo)
1. Beauty Unadorned
2. Dawn
3. Holy Water
1. Beauty Unadorned
Besieged, this wretched mind that knew not destiny embraced
The enchantress who knew not her grand allure
Entwined in short lived bliss but now reciprocally displaced
I have retraced these lengthy steps for dreams demure
The darkest of emotions, in magnitude an entity
Cry out in the bereavement of the sun
The love of death and death of love
The pale ravens blackened dove
All focus on the attributes of one
A gift, incarnate vision
Far removed from man and time
You strode this mortal plateau with such ease
For some the greatest peace will lie
Beyond the conscious line
For some our human cloak is a disease
Hold your scarlet wrists up to the sky
Your beauty unadorned at last is free
And kiss my severed world one last good-bye
The light that shone in you now dies in me
Possibility, it scorned the flaming fire
As apprehension ached with its untimely starkness
Whilst I hid in the shadows, in solitary awe
You were the light on the edge of my darkness
2. Dawn
Dew falls on fields
Watered by strange rivers
Aurora's pallor fills the sky
Autumn tuesday
White and silent
In the shadows ghosts slink away
Gone is the night
Wrought with a thousand fears
Wait for the blue resurrection
Time to awake
Wounded heart
Fragile as the gray skeleton of a leaf
3. Holy Water
