1. The Evil Urge
The Evil Urge
And I see that slowly your tears are drying
And I see an ocean made by your crying
And the ocean that's within...
And I see misery to forget it I must
And all of the memories are lost
And the ocean is here within me
Flows on like a never ending tear...
And I see that slowly your tears are drying
And I see an ocean made by your crying
And the ocean that's within, flows on like a never ending tear...
And I see misery to forget it I must
And all of the memories are lost
And the ocean is here within me
Flows on like a never ending tear...
2. A Never Ending Way
When summer's gone and winter's past
It seems like a neverending way
And thinking of what I have to say
It seems like a neverending way
I am within you now, with my sinful cry
I am within you, now one am I
Perish the love, perish your love
When the sunfilled summer comes to love
It seems like a neverending way
It comes to us like a snow-white dove
It seems like a neverending way
I am within you now with my lonely cry
I am within you now 'till the time we die
I am within you now 'till the time we perish the love
Perish your love
3. Mercy (Paradise Lost cover)
You live for times of solace
Within a sign there's a promise
Don't lose all faith 'cause you shake at night
It's in the art of the process
In another rhyme beyond this place
The healing's fast enough
Done a thousand times, a thousand ways
Until you've had enough
It's mercy you're asking for, cheating life by taking more
It's mercy you're asking for, take my life or give me more
The loss of prize possessions
To cure the mind's obsessions
Could trade your soul for that normal life
Elite to all objections
See beyond all tears and broken years
Your senses giving up
Lose all confidence at your expense
Your courage swallowed up
It's mercy you're asking for, cheating life by taking more
It's mercy you're asking for, take my life or give me more
4. The Beloved's Cry
My heart flies on her wings
Now I'm crying, the moon so red
Tomorrow shall be yet another hell
To the sun, (the) sky's soul is fed
Blows pass me
(I'm) down them I do not feel
Anything except the shadow is real
Why did she do it ? Why did she die ?
How could she leave without saying goodbye ?
She has proven my life to be just a lie
When sea waves crush they hit me hard
But I do not feel them
And then reality is no more real to me
I ask myself, should I end it now
And join her at last ?
I miss the cold embrace of lust
There's nothing left, just a dust
Nothing is left from my dearest love
