> We entered Winter once again Naked, freezing from my breath Neath the lid, all limbs tucked away This coffin is your abode from now and onwards Your body is mine to avail Such a tragic sight you are Slave under my creed Spurring me with those tears I am beyond death Midst a dreaming affinity Saving strength now, faint whispers Come erotic communion in its splendour Fever mirrored ghosts Night-time consolation, cross the line Draw murder into art Sleep inside through days In the wake of this relief Shivering, longing for more Insanity at its peak Love me to my death Lost are the days of Spring You sighed and let me in Keep the beast inside Shackled within my hide Screaming out too late Losing to my hate Grew together with your skin And paced the trails of sin Your gaze, covered with virgin snow Rigid features. It's the shallow deeds who's to blame Deafening shrieks pierced the night A step from oblivion Moving into the dim lights Hiding within a reverie It was worth it for the wait alone
Beating Heart still beating for the cause Feeding Soul still feeding on the loss Aching Limbs are aching from the rush Fading You are fading from my sight
Break of morning, coldness lingers on Shroud me into nightmares of the sun
Moving I am moving closer to your side Luring You are luring me into the night Crying Who is crying for you here Dying I am dying fast inside your tears
Plunging towards bereavement faster yet Clearing thoughts, my mind is set
Devious movements in your eyes Moved me from relief Breath comes out white clouds with your lies And filters through me
You're close to the final word You're staring right past me in dismay A liquid seeps from your chest And drains me away
Mist ripples round your thin white neck And draws me a line Cold fingers mark this dying wreck This moment is mine
Help me cure you Atone for all you've done Help me leave you As all the days are done
Night falls again Taking what's left of me
Slight twist, shivering corpse Ornated with water, fills the cracks Clasped in my limbs by tradition This is all you need
Stay with me a while Rise above the vile Name my final rest Poured into my chest
Into the orchard I walk peering way past the gate Wilted scenes for us who couldn't wait Drained by the coldest caress, stalking shadows ahead Halo of death, all I see is departure Mourner's lament but it's me who's the martyr
Pledge yourself to me Never leave me be Sweat breaks on my brow Given time ends now
Into the orchard I walk peering way past the gate Wilted scenes for us who couldn't wait
Drained by the coldest caress, stalking shadows ahead Halo of death, all I see is departure Mourner's lament but it's me who's the martyr
Spirit painted sin Embers 'neath my skin Veiled in pale embrace Reached and touched my face
Into the orchard I walk peering way past the gate Wilted scenes for us who couldn't wait Drained by the coldest caress, stalking shadows ahead Halo of death, all I see is departure Mourner's lament but it's me who's the martyr
Please remedy my confusion And thrust me back to the day The silence of your seclusion Brings night into all you say
Pull me down again And guide me into pain
I'm counting nocturnal hours Drowned visions in haunted sleep Faint flickering of your powers Leaks out to show what you keep
Pull me down again And guide me into
There is failure inside This test I can't persist Kept back by the enigma No criterias demanded here Deadly patterns made my wreath Prosperous in your ways Pale ghost in the corner Pouring a caress on your shoulder
Puzzled by shrewd innocence Runs a thick tide beneath Ushered into inner graves Nails bleeding from the struggle It is the end for the weak at heart Always the same A lullaby for the ones who've lost all Reeling inside My gleaming eye in your necklace reflects Stare of primal regrets You turn your back and you walk away Never again
Spiralling to the ground below Like Autumn leaves left in the wake to fade Away Waking up to your sound again And lapse into the ways of misery
> You wait by the window Morning's breath on the sill Idle hands given another try So you wait and you savour the moment Outside the canvas turned white Ruby eyes in the fog Rain washing clean all the sins A liquid gown that covers all Your loathe turns endless Opened mirage sooths your sense Locked on the pinnacle The best secret within Like a derelict child Heart burning for a stranger Ascending to the meek Flock round the liars in awe Caked in the soil beneath Fear me when we meet Turn away in admiration My firm grip round the nucleus of joy Enough of this You will leave me now You will see it now Perish at my hands Close to you Tangled up in hair Fresh stigma looks Shall I take you with me And it is cold Ruby eyes in the fog It is me And you are just like them all Stained by the name of fathers I'm greeting my downward fall Leaving the throes to others
Confessor Of the tragedies in man Lurking in the core of us all The last dying call for the everlost Brief encounters, bleeding pain
Lepers coiled 'neath the trees Dying men in bewildered soliloquys Perversions bloom round the bend Seekers, lost in their quest Ghost of friends frolic under the waning moon
It is the year of death Wielding his instruments Stealth sovereign reaper Touching us with ease
Infecting the roots in an instant Burning crop of disease I am just a spectator An advocate documenting the loss Fluttering with conceit This doesn't concern me yet Still far from the knell Taunting their bereavement
Mob round the dead Point fingers at the details Probing vomits for more Caught in unbridled suspense
We have all lost it now Catching the flakes of dismay Born the travesty of man Regular pulse midst pandemonium You're plucked to the mass Parched with thirst for the wicked
Sick liaisons raised this monumental mark The sun sets forever over Blackwater park
I can't see the meaning of this life I'm leading I try to forget you as you forgot me This time there is nothing left for you to take, this is goodbye
Summer is miles and miles away And no one would ask me to stay
And I should contemplate this change To ease the pain And I should step out of the rain turn away
Close to ending it all, I am drifting through the stages Of the rapture born within this loss Thoughts of death inside, tear me apart from the core of my soul
At times the dark's fading slowly But it never sustains Would someone watch over me In my time of need
Out on the road there are fireflies circling Deep in the woods, where the lost souls hide Over the hill there are men returning Trying to find some peace of mind
Sleep my child
Under the fog there are shadows moving Don't be afraid, hold my hand Into the dark there are eyelids closing Buried alive in the shifting sands
Sleep my child
Speak to me now and the world will crumble Open a door and the moon will fall All of your life, all your memories Go to your dreams, forget it all
Heal myself-a feather on my heart Look inside-there never was a start Peel myself-dispose of severed skin All subsides-around me and within
There's nothing painful in this There's no upheaval Redemption for my pathos All sins undone
Awaiting word on what's to come In helpless prayers a hope lives on As I've come clean I've forgotten what I promised In the rays of the sun I am longing for the darkness
There's nobody here, there's nobody near I try not to care, dead eyes always stare Let these matters be, don't trust what you see Take hold of your time, step into the line
There's innocence torn from its maker Stillborn the trust in you This failure has made the creator So would you tell him what to do (would you)
Leave your mark upon the head of someone Who'll cry for his state, we know it's too late I turn round to see what was meant to be Faint movement release to rid the disease
There's innocence torn from its maker Stillborn the trust in you (I have lost all trust I had in you) This failure has made the creator So would you tell him what to do (I have lost all trust I had in you)
Falling inside again This nightmare always the same Still never enough Halting at the brink of discovery Moving into the darkness Leaking inside to cover up Dragging me down and under Entangled and undone at once Old memories I'm not in need but wish to know What are the tragedies The history behind the walls Pacing further down Familiar children's laughter Dissonant and out of time And their eyes are dead Watching myself in a pool of water Wearing the mask of a ghost Smeared all across my skin Rotten earth and insects Endless night Always preserving the calm Movement behind Bleeding animals in a field of fire There is no absolution Death is but a fairytale They are mere visions They are afraid of me Clear insight A smoke is rising nearby Dust covering my coat Blend together to spell my name Pale, covered me with sweat There are no words left Sole provider of death Distorted faith in myself Human harvest burning Blackest pages turning Twisted perception come true Captured in dreams connected Staring right back Spiritual decay - Still seeking Frozen in time Mourn this departure - All watching Calling me back Closure to bleak matters - I'm leaving End of a search Coming of morning Calling me back Closure to bleak matters - I'm leaving End of a search Coming of morning - Returning
Floating on mist crept up the caverns of my brain receving no warning from nothing to a life code walk with me, you'll never leave wait to see your spirit free tell me how your heart's in need as i drown you in the sea unwinding snares of distrust your wrist in my face grip look me in the eye, i'm clear this is your time face down beneath the waterline gazing into the deep from love to death in a time span of seconds oblivious to regret pushed into belief in liquid cellophane gasping for air mercy in my eyes is the shade of the night the piercing sounds you make soaring higher, higher now and once left in my wake your memory is nothing but the scars on me all over now forgotten why i needed this standing down disappear into the obscure resting days waiting for new disease biding time looked inside insanity it always burns within the downward spiral never ends when driven into sin your salvation's found in a sinner's deed the devil guides the day tells me what to say pours himself inside and snuffs the final light
Losing sleep, in too deep Fading sun, what have I done Came so close to what I need most Nothing left here Cut the ties, uncover disguise Left behind all intertwined Lost control, moved out of the role now Nothing's left here Leave it be It was meant for me Soul sacrifice Forgot the advice Lost track of time In a flurry of smoke Waiting anxiety For a fair judgement deserved
There is a voice calling for me There is a light coming down on me There is a doubt that is clearing There is a day that is dawning There is a wound that is healing There is a season waiting for me There is a road that is turning There is a fire still burning A sickness in me Constant pace towards the end The need is stronger This time the need is deeper There is a peace I am searching There is a freedom I'm depending on There is a pain that's never ending There is a rain falling only on me There is a dream I am living There is a life I am dreaming of There is a death I'm awaiting There is a home I am deserting i hold my breath and wait only moments remain movement for departed hope effect for absent friend sever the faith from my body leave me begging for more take what i have and deliver me into everlasting sleep soothing trance colours fade and disappear ethereal light showing me what i can do without in a motionless scense there is only me i take what i can controlling you to get ahead fading away and leaving long for sleep closer now lead the way into death every wretched dream i have left behind every waking hour i lie in wait sucked inside by will gone into the flood all my questions unfurled as i was put to the test once i'm below there's no turning back plunging into the deepest void departed shell left drained behind pacing roads unknown searching for a new home desert in my eye barren lands inside
Let me taste Let me feel I need to know what you keep inside No need to speak Just let it be Carry out this wish for me let nothing interfere Rise to submission I'm still beneath in the soil Discard your clothes Let loose you hair We're intertwined forever and have always been Say the word And I'll depart Upon your lips dwells nothing but the meaning of my cause And so comes the dark Vibrant as ever before Flowers already withered In this endless winter of souls Outside in the park The days move along And nothing ever changes They have nothing on us And we've always knew That nothing ever changes Rise to submission I'm still beneath in the soil This is ours alone Feeding of the warmth Lured out from inside Depending on the life blood Silently Whispering Move in me and set me free
