2. A Gathering of Memories
Within the bleak walls of this great castle, I shield my eyes and hide from the light
Tears of blood fall from my face, as I cast my mind back through ancient times
It must have been centuries since I took my last supper in anothers company
I feel the loneliness even more without my beloved who shared it all with me
For she died three hundred years ago, her lifeblood drained as much as mine
Yet she never drank from that others vein, the nectar that brought eternal life
Through all the years I left a trial of blood, but failed to quell the loss inside
Oh yes! this story is about my bride
Yes it is possible to know "pain" without a heart
That night of August though centuries ago Has left me lonely
No life! No light
No love! I truly died
Now I found someone who cared for me, should I promise her eternal life?
For I don't believe I can forget, meeting in these cold december nights
I awoke to realise that love is real, but should i tell her all? I couldn't decide
Only later I found that she had already gone, too late now to change her mind
Once again I'm a prisoner in this castle, forced into shadow away from the light
The blody tears still falling, as I sought relief in recalling those ancient times
Still I dwell like a leech on the blood of others, never will I claim whats mine
Oh yes! this is a story about ME and MY life!
I am the eternal, never will I be free
Those sunfilled landscapes are just a memory
That leaves me lonely
What should I do
Riding the winds of despair!
(music and lyrics by Marco Kehren)
3. Oceans of Soliloquy
Like thousands of ripples in the ocean, thousands and thousands of ripples
Or a night full with burning stars, burning bright with the fires of the sky
I see an unhappiness in your eyes, always in the eyes lies the truth
The loneliness in your voice, on the verge of tears,
Even across vast amounts of time, even without the use of time
I know you all too well
And I know that without you, I'm in my own self-made hell
If I threw a single coin into these oceans, one single coin
Would it take forever for the wves to reach you, and drown you in their volume,
Tears descend everytime I look out unto the night, and lay waste on my tongue
And to think somewhere you are looking out unto this same night, with another by your side
No matter how many times I cut into myself, deeper and deeper I cut
No amounts of blood can stop my hurt
So I just look back out at the night
Even the pleasure of orgasmic rush, the screams of absolute pleasure
Can no longer bury the dulled pain in my heart, and wash away the grief
This tired and weary heart, burned away by the pain,
I just want to rush out into your arms, but the embrace would deem so cold now
But dont have the strength, this mass ocean keeps us far apart,
And again, I must pull myself out of melancholy
Many, many times I see your face, as if spinning in a dream
Deep in though of your hateful love, blind was I to it
But when I try to grasp you, you fade away, just like a dream
And your laughter echoes in my mind, they're all laughing
And across these oceans, I can still hear you laughing
And I fall to my knees to cover my ears from the laughing
Just like a thousand ripples in the ocean, thousands and thousands of ripples
And a night sky satiated with burning stars, burning bright with the fires of the sky
I see pools of unhappiness in your eyes, always in the eyes lies the truth
You can tell me no more lies, yet you keep telling me lies
As they wont reach me anymore
They could never reach across these oceans of soliloquy
So dont tell me that you don't love me anymore, yet don't tell me that you love me either...
(music by Marco Kehren - lyrics by Shane Davison)
4. Lost Forever
It's raining outside!
Staining this black coat, but!
You wouldn't know!
A cold and Grey sky
Drowning all my tears but!
Your eyes are closed!
No! No!
Every minute seems like a lifetime
The past is slowly killing me!
Never will this leave my mind
I'm haunted by the memory!
No! No!
This is a bitter loss for me
(music and lyrics by Marco Kehren)
5. The Fragant Thorns of Roses
Let mother nature sweep me up in her infinite arms
Let her carry my burden, this sorrowful dirge is to comfort her
Her sweet night lullaby will sooth my sadness
And I'll dream the passions once again, for all my dreams are but of her
And let the moon reside over us tonight, like embracing lovers
Its gentle solace warms me with its light
As giant trees shed their tears before my path, soft colours of cool Autumn nights
And I walk upon the thorns of roses spread along my path
Blood leaves the innocence far behind and lets the corrupt aggrandise
Tread this bloodiest path, and you'll taste her infinite love
Into the arms of mother nature and time beyond
Her feminine beauty surrounds us at all times, her hate is all I seek
And sheathed are those who are blind to her darkness, her hate is her love
She is always crying out for her children, yet our concious minds cannot hear her cries
My concupiscence for her is great
I am truly one of her cult, a spitual one
Whose heart rests in melancholy...Forever, the word itself is etched in my skin
My feet are bloody from walking this path
My face hardened from all my loss
And my tears have long dried up, and no more tears can I shed
I just keep walking in the night, searching, for knowledge is the key to her wisdom
Into the arms of mother nature and time beyond
I bury myself deep in her bossom
And hold on all throughout the long night
Whilst the chorus of nature lulls me into sleep, and into dreams of the sullen
I'm so tired, tired of being alone
I cry out to let her know of my desire, she will answer my call
To pass through into the dismal gloom of death
She will taste my blood tonight, the sweet taste of my blood
The hour of my demise has come, the final hour
And the sun is close to dawning
I walk along the path, weary and my feet bloodied and sore, from the fragrant rose thorns underfoot
Deep into the woods
I take the knife and hold it out before my eyes, the gleam from the blade is frightening
And say my last goodbye, I'm coming.
I cut deep into my flesh and watch the blood run forth from my wounds
And fall to my knees when I see the light, the final light before the darkness
And I know, I am one with her, my mother nature
And I shall go now, into the arms of mother nature and time beyond...
(music by Marco Kehren - lyrics by Shane Davison)
6. The Gothic Statue
Ancient and lifeless, like god's perfect idols
The statues looked down and unspeaking saw
The hypocrisy uttered within these four walls
Is this the palace of a just god at all?
For many were the wars we saw, many fought and died
God's kingdom prospered upon those corpses piled high
Giving sanctimony to slaughter, the churches killed for christ
We saw that their religion was the hand that held the knife
Now the altar is silent and claimed by the dust
This building crumbles from disuse and mistrust
The annals of infamy attest to the last great truth
Religion is a whore (and we the fools)!
(music and lyrics by Marco Kehren)
