ÆMBERMOON LYRICS
"Awakening" (2004 Demo)
1. Drowned Maiden
2. Wasted Beauty
3. Alone in the dark
4. Awakening
1. Drowned Maiden
Lost in thought he’s wandering through the night
The moon is shining shedding silvery light
Passing the forest to the banks of the river
The sight he beholds there is making him shiver
A wonderful girl is dancing on the meadow
In intricate patterns with her own shadow
He’s rooted to the spot, she’s swirling wild and free
Her laughter sounds like music so inescapably
Flowing black hair, pale white skin
This irresistible beauty is really worth a sin
They’re spinning round and round and it is taking his breath
‘Cause what he sees in her eyes is his certain death
Drowned maiden cursed for her youth
Dancing in darkness to disguise the truth
Drowned maiden justice will be
Dancing together for eternity
Drowned maiden cursed for her youth
Dancing in darkness to disguise the truth
Drowned maiden revenge will be thine
Dancing together ‘til the end of all time
2. Wasted Beauty
Our eyes met just seconds as you were passing me by
But I will always remember until the day that I’ll die
Mysterious girl what have you done to me?
You touched me so deep within, nevermore will I be free
You’re like a marble statue in the hall of the kings
Angelic perfection I could almost see your wings
You are Beauty Incarnate, the Allegory of Youth
You put this pain in my heart which nothing ever will be able to soothe
But I wonder …
What made you give up your smile and set this melancholy in your eyes?
What things so evil and vile did choke your unheard cries?
I saw you one more time, they had your pic in the news
They said it was no crime, no violent act, no abuse
Just something you did yourself to inflict fatal harm
Now to the weather next day: no clouds or rain just sunny and warm
But not for me …
What made you give up your hope when everything seemed save and sound?
You were dancing up on the rope but you’ve stumbled and fell to the ground
What made you give up your life and seek release in crimson revelation?
No more pain no more strife, imprisoned soul freed with the last exhalation
Wasted Beauty – I mourn the loss of the light
Wasted Beauty – you killed much more than your life
Wasted Beauty – nevermore will life be the same
I felt unworthy, you’re gone, I remain with the blame
Couldn’t get you out of my head, no matter how hard I tried
You manifested instead and with that I have to abide
I stopped asking questions that day about what’s here or beyond
It won’t lead to any avail there is no one there to respond
Wasted Beauty – I mourn the loss of the light
Wasted Beauty – you killed much more than your life
Wasted Beauty – nevermore will life be the same
I felt unworthy, you’re gone, I remain with the blame
The world grew duller that day
3. Alone in the dark
When the light is gone, I’ve got just one thing in my mind
To roam the streets, the source of life to find
I’m stalking the night, searching for prey
Nobody can stop me, I will have it my way
I know what is right, but I do things wrong
Can’t hold myself, the hunger’s much too strong
Mesmerised victims, overwhelming thrill
Hate myself for that, but I always will
There are no colours in the night
Only the shades of black and white
A desperate dream is hunting me since I don’t know when
I hopelessly would like to see the sun again
Alone in the dark / with no one beside you
Stay away from the dark / or the shadows will get you
Out in the dark / I’m yearning to see the sun
I’m alone in the dark / and forever on the run
Enough is enough, I can’t bear it no longer
My innermost wish becomes stronger and stronger
Never had a choice, when this evil all started
Oh darkness goodbye, we soon will be parted
There are no colours in the night
Only the shades of black and white
A desperate dream is hunting me since I don’t know when
But now I know that I will see the sun again
A new day is dawning and it is really true
The grass is so green and the sky’s so blue
There is a happy end to this sad sad story
I will reach to paradise in a blaze of glory
4. Awakening
