1. Yield to Me
2. When Ruin Beckons
3. Truly a Suffering
4. The Repentant
5. The Stings I Carry
6. When Light Will Dawn
1. Yield to Me
I kneel to you
I bow to you faithfully
I bid you long farewell
but spit out my name, you will
come yield to me
I yield to you
You lay as though dead
I did dance for the devil
but judge me not for
into the midst of the fire I suffer now
Scorching pain burning me
for my repentance, my deceive
an orgy full of spite
gliding all through your heart
whatever the sin is
I love you yet
2. When Ruin Beckons
3. Truly a Suffering
When I weep on your shoulder
you caress me with the warmest embrace
Tears are not a comfort
but truly a great suffering
Scarring of the soul a reminder of
the bitterness,
gained through the years and years
in despair
What gift pays grieving
but the loss of sadness for a moment
Ignorance of children - admirable
they know not grief
The reminder of sadness
is still grinding
Still harvesting delight
A fragile bird he cannot fly
without his wings
You cut them deeply
when you were my God
and Gods always fail you
4. The Repentant
See the sun you left
dawning into the black sea into me
In my heart, this painful sea
a sea of spite, all that is inside
-set me free!
For evermore, bathing in your might
Flowing down my own streams of pityness
Can anyone save me from myself
Somebody hear me, somebody heal me
If you feel in your heart
You will know that my pride is all I have
If you look in this heart
you will know all that's left is but disgrace
I must be all forgiven
For I know not my sins
Do not wear this weary veil around you
to drag yourself down
For you are my own self, nothing else
but the true tempter
5. The Stings I Carry
Summon the winds and swear
If ever my God you were
Like silver in the morning-fields
I'd give my life for you
I do not exist
I am but two eyes and a shadow
I would make you see
If I had the courage
Dance your celestial witch-dance
gracious and hurtful
Weep like the night-clad sky
a crumbled leaf in dirt I lie
For slumbers sweet embrace I try
and in my dream that I may die
6. When Light Will Dawn
Time to depart and breaking the seal
Pour red wine and the softest of lips
Oh, wish me well and I go
Tower your strength, an ascendance to hell
Cut me deep with your ignorance
and leave me be
I scorn my pityful self
do not cherish my mistakes
Your fury rules
at hand within when light will dawn
and sun will fade
Darker than the darkest night
what burning lust you radiate
Carry me, into the fields
In roses lay,
Souls are now eternal sealed
From my cup, you quenched your thirst,
I'm bathing in misery, you gave your first
