Together we have discovered the languid fatigue of love interrogated all our beauty we've turned each other inside out. Drowning in Ebony Tears. The long face of cherrlessness the only bonding we share enlightened by degredation the only pleasure is pain. Drowning in Ebony Tears. Embedded in our resentment lay the keys to disengage but still we burn in persecution for the punishment of possessiveness.
The serpent she writhes in knowledge for rebellion and heresy, the serpent she thrives on knowledge for beauty and ecstasy, the night contains me, exults me, promises me the tender touch of the serpents dreams. O' to dark foundations grey deliverance, mesmerized by descent shrouded in calm. Fabled curses plunge to depths untold I conjure bind and charge thee to heavens unknown (entombed). O' yea serpent eve. Gather to the lords of facade, beneath the cross of false, crawl to the figure speared wither within its name. Raise the current clear the stream, herald the sound of the serpent dreams. Into the night for the serpent eve psalms for the spirit, charms for the calling. We're neophytes for serpents eve.
Tortured self worth, abstracts of wrath, released from attachment human reaction. Muted unable to realize images of your designs soul sacrifice a blessing to me, carve me from your memories. Deep impressions my depths, worthless as each breath, worlds within words of half truth my fears of losing you. I'll pour scorn from the lowest place colour fades from your face. Annihilation acceptance. Paradox of self existence.
Lost in the battlefield of opposite extremes. I ponder on the embankment that stands in between the monochrome and color entirety I see the beauty and chaos of fate and destiny. Stand in the balance of forest equilibrium. Absorb every aspect of forest equilibrium. The fatality of optimism shall we not embrace but evolve into the actual with grace. Outweigh the balance through excessive choice I return to the wisdom of this equalateral place. Rebuild thy strength here in forest equilibrium. Through irreligious choice in forest equilibrium. Through irreligious choice in forest equilibrium. Come walk with me through violet smokescreens where both feet tread upon joys and agonies calm in all we see, masters of destiny.
Dark oceans we cry, writhing in the misery, cast spit on the love that lay at our feet, the intrigue of pain we crave it's mystery neglect to explore the depths to sanctity. We reach happiness, divine in providence, our lamented desires. Lose scent of the essence, shunned is the prosperity, we feel the anxiety, self inserting the knives in our heart. Luring to degrade with bribes of affection, can't abide divinity over our imperfection. All love is broken, sombre in devotion, the hearse of selfishness has drove it all away.
Lack-lustre vacuum magnetises the land, scopeless material in ruthless demand, concrete spectacle superficially grand, divine animation buried in sight.
(Chorus:) We'll rise from the ashes of stagnation, crystal warriors of damnation.
Nullified grafters manufactured from the womb, out of the repro-clinic into household tomb. Drag the nothing tiring through coal-dark underground, drive the wheels of iron round and round.
(Repeat Chorus)
Scouring eyes sear through that book of lies, and to the truth, well our search is dignified. Whilst the yawny drone of physical machinery march in robot mode to terminal destiny. Microscopic observance, forsaken innerland, spiritual inertia, absorbed in bland, well our significance shan't sink in their charade, 'cos through their drab pantomime I say we're gonna ride!
Adorned daggers, ruby hilted swords, unfailing crucifixes, striking mortal cords, huge violent serpents in volumes rolled, all holy poisons poured in cups of gold. Ooh these instruments so blessed and old, here lay death's sceptre - truth untold without mercy or
(Chorus:) Love, forgiveness - exile me, blades of goodness set me free, madness my destiny, alone forever exile me.
Sharp swords, bright lightings set brave souls free, past God's blind eyes through infinity, of all these vessels transformed to clay, rich ashes blown to dust - swept away! Now take me steel to the gift of skies, deliver me from weakness from this flesh that rides. Without pity or;
(Repeat Chorus.)
Ooh to think how pleasant your touch would be, in that all my lovely limbs would fall away, and drop to nothing in their soft decay. Unto my frail heart, the worms shall find a door, enter the weary pulp - into the core! As all of my flesh lay soft on the floor, released this soul from me, forevermore! Into the loud tide screaming silent words, out of this dreary world in screeching awe, without earthly
Sliding down the mountain, as dusk passes to day. The antidote of elation, now lifeless masses wake. Jaws of suxiety open, the luring vampire of agility, a fatal invitation, sight hazing from me.
Oh midnight mountain, I require, inner relocation, back to pinnacles high.
Drowning in empty faces, sinking in banal, I crave the isolation of eventide when perception climbs, I just need the injection, a dose to boost my flight, a sonic blast of moonlight, nucleus ignites.
Oh midnight mountain, now I'm revived, stimulus transcending, back to pinnacles high,
Screaming at doleful skies, absorbing all my sighs, responding to my cries, downcast a thunder of reprise, won't let the next sunrise, signal my landslide, from ecstatic highs, I'm on top of their demise.
Fountain of youth, lifespirit flows into a well of truths, of cold and dim repose. I craved to be as high as the pillowy clouds, to walk amongst the tall, who used to look back down and frown.
(Chorus:) Now here I stand by the wasteland, where our dreams began. From these once golden fields our curiosity ran...
I chased the sugar claw through temptation's door, the bitterness I found...sweetness I taste no more From the play ground to the slayground, the sombre middleground absords the emptiness.
(Chorus 2:) Look back across the marble sea of discovery, a fountain of innocent flows in juvenescence.
I'm resident in corridors of sentiment. I face the wall - discovery terminal, but there's no more false truths I wish to discover, and I am physically unable, to tread back down those corridors. Fountain of youth, oh how I bathed in your innocence, and now in cold repose, I must face the bitter truth...
Cold sin and fire, burning wrath and anger, this crippled splendour of lust so dire yeah! Insane visions of beauty, groanings so empty, wriggling in agony, the frail corpse of love that's me.
Hair and eyes limbs and faces, bending hard in fierce embraces. Ooh this loveless rage, come give me pain - arcane exotica, ooh grim luxuria.
(Chorus:) Twisted lust on fire, love the bastard liar.
Sick grins of pleasure, warped torsos in heaven, bending tongues - saliva, licking lifeforms of grotesque. On the floor bones cracking, like evil dogs mauling, grunting in this ecstasy, - shaking, screaming, clawing me!
Pleading eyes mangled faces, torn apart, in growling places. Ooh this seething cage, white light in vain, arcane exotica - grim luxuria.
Twisted lust on fire, love - the bastard liar. Oh sweet sanctity, - hell is pouring over me.
Here, gibbering alone...oh the earth and heavens, they so tire me, tomorrow's dreams encased in a velvet sanctuary. The crumbled throne of worldly gain, is glory forgotten, and now just nothing remains.
(Chorus:) We've come too far, we are so close, one soul, inside, one forever weeping.
As the vain morning dawns all life fades away, you can take me now, beyond the violet veil, and whatever flames the night in these deeds I've done. In fate's control, at last my time has come.
(Repeat Chorus.)
Death is death, the little host that squirms, smell the dark - the coffin's closed, and I so soft - ooh so soft, no movement, and no breath, no ears, no nose - no eyes. Death is death, in life's sepulchre - no sight, no sound, no cry, and always...always... death is death - yeah! (Alive again).
Eeeaaergh - damp skin in greying sheets, decaying bed absorbing me, bleached white ceiling above - dehydrating visions of love. Vitality slides back down the walls, saturating the velvet floor, numbness writhes in all I adore, wasting here, can't see the door...
Your face, the furnace of my soul The endless lies that we told Clear blue waters in which we bathed The yesterdays we failed to save
Still I see how we cannot be
(Chorus:) Ashes you leave as you ascend from me
The leaves that fell unto our graves And with the love that we made The tree that filled my eyes Tomorrow's yesterdays in stone engraved
Still I see we cannot be
(Chorus:) Ashes you leave as you ascend from me
Oh the black you gave me The love you gave me The anti-fears of pain (???) Our love's my shelter I try to fill up Clouds of dust ??? It was a lie Snow in those eyes I tasted that wine too much And now I sit Beside our graves And hold her hand ???
Weep for autumn skies shrouded in misty air Weep for thy solemn dearth and for thy chill despair
(Chorus:) Ashes you leave as you ascend from me
Demons ???
Ooh!
As shadows pass In the misty night Over though, on and moving fast ??? Ashes to life

Wishing that the sun would shine, flesh wasting dreams inside. In this prison burning light, which fades on the outside.
I only want to believe, that there's a place better for me, a union where lost souls meet, where I can share this flame with thee, hide and reach beyond entropy, in all that you seek - burn with me.
