1. Midnight's Caress
The Sun is setting, another day has passed
As crimson strikes the sky, soon black...
Black is my heart, but do I crave for more?
Dark my desires, am I the One that this all is meant for?
...meant for!
(Awakened by a gleam)
(Transcended through darkness, so it seems)
All my life I have searched for a greater meaning
Could this be the One that I have been looking for?
The Sun would no longer shine on my face
The Moon would hide me in her dark embrace
To live in the night even more than before
To breath the dark and its enchanting lore
To cease to exist in this mortal decay
Casting my desolate life away
I would feast on the pleasures of blood and flesh
Dancing to the Moon in the midnight's caress
No! Await!
Promises, eternal ones,
I have heard before
To forsake your own kind
(They never were my kind!)
Today's sweets are so often tomorrow bitter...
Majestic sunrises would be forbidden
Glorious relations -Torn
True companions? I have none
All of my life I have searched for the One
To satisfy and to unite
The savage beast and the beauty inside
All of decay can not cast away
The torments and pains that were once set to stay
Live up your dreams, immortal gleams
Lift your face high and reach eternal night
"The delights of human torn away...
Loved ones would also fade to grey...
The only thing that remains is pain...
Do I truly crave for this?"
Yes!
I Do!
I will walk among mortals, forlorn
Feasting on the mortals, with scorn
Into the dark
Into the night
Out of the light of the day
Those who I crave
I will take on my way
Rejoice the forthcoming pain
To the unknown
Eternity shown
A glimpse of herself to my own
The fear has gone
Certainty sprung
When the dust settles I will be the One!
2. The Darkened Veils Of Remembrance And Past Times
"For I have come to fear the figure
That reflects back from the mirror..."
The deeper I gaze into the eyes of this portrait
The more I begin to drift away...
The longer I stare at this wretched dark being
The more the image will force my mind to sway...
For I have seen the throes
sprung from my atrocities
The torments and the woes,
I bear the cries of mankind
Through this endless night
sentenced to wander blindfolded
I was not meant to stay eternal
in this darkened sunken shell!
The blood-red moon has risen upon my soul
A shadow has been cast inside for all time
Beneath the harmony of the forest night
The bloom has already turned into blight
Dark are my cries
(with a pale face and bloodshot eyes)
As I shed tears upon the graves of the bloodless
(Forgiveness I seeked, but)
Darkened was my time...
At last a long journey will come to an end
-A debt must be paid to the past times
At last remembrance shall be cherished and recalled
-A silent bidding that cannot be denied
At last...
(Alas...)
So tired I am
So tired of it all
Misguided on darker paths
It is time to blow the candles to eternal rest...
3. Beyond The Grim Horizon
Cast slumber away and step into my realm
I will lead you the way beyond thy mortal dreams
To a place so obscure that it could not exist in
Thy narrow black and white world.
A frail humanmind bewildered by the might
That escaped the ravages of time 'neath the starlight
As thy grip slowly fades from the world left behind
This mortal shall soon be mine!
Drown... deeper... into my arms
As the nightingale begins her nocturnal overtures
A nightmarish image overshadows thy mind with sinister lures
A chaotic puzzle is formed inside thy very eyes
A maze never to be solved with mortal wisdom or cries
Enthralled by the Moon's omnipotent light
As I cast my shadow upon mankind
(And as so many times before)
(My essence shall not feel remorse)
(...but yearn for more)
Once awakened by a dark stream
From beyond the grim horizon
(Hark) the echoes of a dulcet calling...
A call from within...
From within the night
(For this is no reverie...)
I could sense thy fright
(Not a dream to be awaken by a scream...)
Changing into curiosity
(Only pure madness shall here remain... and reign)
A mind falling down as with the rain
(An eternity falling down as with the rain...)
In a world beyond their grasp of life
I await for thee to be the last ...one
Finally I shall receive my wish
And reconcile my fate from demise
Opened are the gates at last for me
To yearn, to seek, to know beyond ...for more!
(Untold nights for this I have craved...)
An arcane wisdom from beyond the grim horizon
Only faint whispers from the abyss of the inhuman mind...
4. The Remains Of An Utter Desire
"As the Sun did set behind the seven blood-red seas
The only source of light in his life was torn
As I allowed my own blood forever to cease
And on that very night his grief was reborn"
Alas, a mark is on my hands, on what I do
And cursed is my heart, forever this way
A lifeless wanderer against the nightsky
A figure of a world forlorn by the touch of death
(Have all my creations been sentenced to vanity...)
"My lust, my love,
the source of all my desires
Nothing would I not give
to have thee again at my side"
"Oh forgive me, my eternal beloved
Never did I mean this grief for thee
Always remember Me as thou gaze
toward the evening mist
Lest we never truly part..."
Still, there lies a price for every desire...
"Stranger, look into my eyes
Can thou see there a life inside?"
To the stars and for all time
shalt I extoll the essence of thy dark beauty
Whilst roaming on the remains of a desire...
...of an uttermost kind
Spellbound by the candles burning on her grave...
(In every fire there is a little bit of Her)
The difference between flames and the light of day...
(In every fire there is a little bit of Her)
Surrounded by candles we once did unite...
(In every fire there is a little bit of Her)
But where light don't shine there will always be dark...
(In every shadow there is a little bit of Me)
Me! ...torn asunder in silence
Hope? ...shattered all before me
Cast darkness into my arms
But even after eternity
It all remains the same...
Where light don't shine there will always be dark...
(In every shadow there is a little bit of Me)
5. A Shred Of Hope
6. ...Only To Be Cast Away
Sunken 'neath the scorn of the stars, eternally
Lovelorn was I, a foolish child, now cast aside
Solitude was the reward for all my lust
My sanity was the price for thy embrace
Alone...
Screaming in silence...
Wandering on the plains against the dark skies
Trying to clear my head from a chaos it holds inside
Searching for sanity in this godforsaken world
Crying out for no-one!
Casting despair on all that was once alive
(Despaired by what once was all and had to die!)
Caught in a narrow lunar light
Yet enough to reveal my deepest scars...
Alas the tormenting memories with no cure
For so feeble I was against Her lure...
As a flame once set to burn
I cast myself into Her embrace
Knowing...
That nothing would ever be the same again
Though with an ending I did not foresee
No more, no less, all it took was a caress
To poison my heart with the disease called lust
Cast to dwell in the desolate
ruins of a fallen desire
For I was banished from a paradise
I had learned to call as home...
(So) hark and behold my infinite longing
for thee through this mournful night
May this twilight carry on my sadness
for generations to come...
Caught in a narrow lunar light
Rather darkened than in the Sun, so bright
Lightened only by the Moon and Her nocturnal art
Still enough to reveal the scars in my heart
Cast out cast outcast
Outcast out cast out...
Forever to be viewed by mortals with scorn
With pride and life by Her ravished and torn
Betrayed by the one to which I had sworn
For the essence of Her love was stillborn!
Through the ultima thule
and under the burning Sun
I would have walked for thee...
Bitter was it to realise that
I was caressed only to be cast away!
