Falling, Too
06:33
|
|||
transformed in oblivion
a bright flutter
falling all around
street lights flicker
within their torn eyes
come see the winters
in our brighter days
come see the winters
come see our winters
in our brighter days
silver scapes falling
onto their shoulders
come see our winters
in our brighter days
silver scapes falling
onto their shoulders
upon the palette
of almost blackness
come see our winters
rhythmically flowing
and deafened their minds
it deafened their minds
come see our winters

These Illusions
04:18
|
|||
in the shadows of the night
illusions show
the reflection of a voice
of illusion
how to find
these illusions
keep them locked away
inside of illusions
in the shadows of the night
illusions show
the reflection of a voice
slips down walls
it glistens in the snow
and now and then
heavens collide and burst
in tattered stars
their eyes pass us by
left alone
regain calamity
peering downward
the doors spin around
the mazes in my mind
holding their fears close
strangely shy
taken to dream forever
by my side
they can't know anyway
all the time
my hands drive you
far out of site
can't leave it now
the oceans flow inside

Control
03:40
|
|||
walk through the door
into her night time orb
leading light away from you
she's standing in the shadows
reshaping the room
for her intentions
she slams your doors
and hides inside the walls
lead their dreams in rivers
flowing streams of love and hate
each night she enters
she's the master of your fate
entering their minds
she stares the good thoughts down
sleeping children cry inside the horror of her arms
unfeeling of emotion
she will smother and encompass you
don't run away
you cannot hide

Lost in Side
04:52
|
|||
dreams of self in the darkening light
a lingering scent of eternal night
wolves howl long and the people scream
clenching their bones with forbidden dreams
alone in pain with no one here
fear to scream, fear to tear
darkness sighs and all is clear
for only shadows can draw near
wandering paths that were never trod
why weren't you there by the holy pond?
I see the waters of that misty day
images of love keep me away
this is for you and you alone
there's nothing left of my emotion
a lost embrace within my mind
thoughts so bright my eyes go blind

Miserere Mei
03:07
|
|||
Miserere, miserere mei Deus
Secundum magnam, misericordiam
Misericordiam tuam
Et secundum multitudinem
Miserationum tuarum
Dele iniquitatem meam

Fear No More
04:38
|
|||
fear no more the heat 'o the sun
nor the furious winters rages
thou thy worldly task hast done
home art gone and ta'en they wages
golden lads and girls all must
as chimney sweepers come to dust
fear no more the lightning flash
nor th'all dreaded thunder stone
fear not slander, censure rash
thou hast finish'd joy and mourn
all lovers young and all lovers must
consign to thee and come to dust
no exorcisor harm thee!
nor no witchcraft charm thee!
ghost unlaid forbear thee!
nothing ill come near thee!
quiet consummation have
and renowned be thy grave!
thy grave…

Ex Oblivione
04:09
|
|||
these are my last days
my last dreams
unfamiliar stars shine
in foreboding skies
soft rain taps lightly
on my cold body
journey under the world
into dreams of mist
silent trees glowing in the moonlight
across shady groves
drifting through the valley
twisting, gnarled trees
in forgotten woods
finding desolate stones
arches through walkways
beneath overgrown castles
haunting in the world of dreams
flying in the mists of trees
vines and stones veil them now
where labyrinths grew
loving and vibrant comes the light
from behind the shining doors
laid within the antique wall
I pass into the space
I'm blending and bleeding into nothing
being with no one
these are my last days
my last dreams

The Sleep of Angels
02:51
|
|||
the sleep of angels in your arms
views from the gardens do no wrong
in each others eyes never come to harm
love to love and blood to blood
rain clouds in the sky tonight
evening dreams as evening calls
rain falls from the sky tonight
evening peace as evening falls
images as pretty as peace
a view cascaded with its leaves
the dearest rose the prince of peace
petals floating in the evening breeze

Windows of Their Eyes
03:31
|
|||
see the petals
in the windows
of their eyes
staring back at me again
outside the window
rain falls
bright clouds
in my sky
finding nothing
in their faces
of their eyes
I see nothing but the stars
outside the window
stars fade
clouds covering
my sky

Everything Alone
03:29
|
|||
she said that I could not have
all the things I wanted
and in the end I found
the span of fortune's decade
and as the years pass by
feeding non-emotion
more of the world I possess
less of myself I encompass
never needing intangible
their joys and their sorrows
why should I care to find
a love to last past tomorrow
and in the end I find
does it really matter
what things we take with us
to be alone with everything
is to be alone…

Lullaby
02:37
|
|||
in quiet and rest
calm and content
let the night circle and fall
the candle burns
and stars shine in the sky
I am comfort
a place to keep you safe
I will hold you
until the soft rays
of sun warm your face
and in your mind
gentle dreams
will brush against your thoughts
and love will soothe your soul

Midnight
04:27
|
|||
glistening in the snow
the world carries on
now I find the time has come
the truth I face alone
tell them they don't love you
ask them if they care
the coldness of their faces
the burden they all bear
it finds me
clouds parting
invades me
midnight standing there
the winters they have come
to cast on brighter days
silver stars in blackness
slowly find their way
as the nighttime falls
the children they all gasp
closed up tight for dreaming
you know they are the last
tonight the silent stillness
now has come
to put the world in motion
tonight it must be done
