My Sorrow Bleeds
04:35
|
|||
|
I wait in shadow,
Morbid to me,
Asylum lost,
A time of need.
Faithless sheep,
Sweetless feeds,
Detached from them,
My sorrow bleeds.
A world doesn’t exist without the dichotomy of happiness and sorrow. The horrors of life present in the most miserable circumstances, as if ethereal endless deem your sorrow a necessity in destiny. Dreams only go so far, Fiddler’s Green a distant mirage in the Elysian paths, shrouded by the blackness of my heart. The spear of a fallen Valkyrie pierces my heart and my sorrow bleeds.

Death's Lover
06:06

Death had a funeral eons ago,
I was there for the ultimate show,
I care not for the stars above,
For I was once Death’s lover alive.
We all gathered to bid her farewell,
Dream and Destiny, they all followed the bell,
That tolled only for the greatest of Deaths,
For the death of an endless is the death of us rest.
Darkness abound, the realm of dream,
Its boundary with death no one can deem,
I’ve been here before, I know it for sure,
I followed her once, I needed to see more.
With a cough and a splutter, the procession began,
Everyone was there, every God and every man,
Death was there, her reincarnation too,
This one’s dress was red, not a dark blue.
Death and I once loved, it’s true,
It felt like Cupid across us blew,
But we fell out so bad we couldn’t mend,
And she said she never would see me again.
So for centuries I search and I searched,
A mere mortal to live forever, I was cursed,
My lover had left and left me to live,
But to see death once more, all I would give.
And finally, I find her, the heart no longer beats,
This feels like the most divine of defeats,
For never can I complete my life in full,
Fall on my dagger or my life strings I pull.
The new death did approach with a choice to me,
To run forever, or to die; forever be free,
I decided to live, I had wished to die by my lover,
The days thus pass, I’m trapped, alive forever.

A Prayer
01:55

|
Our Father,
Who art in hell,
Cursed by thy name,
Thy kingdom on Earth is come,
Thy will be done in hell as it is on Earth.
Give us your power and your might,
And lead us into temptation.
Deliver us unto evil.
Thine is the kingdom of Earth.
The power and the glory,
Forever and ever.
So it is done.

Forgive me for I have sinned...
I knew from the first day they would catch up,
Without a Virgil guide there wouldn’t be enough,
Lost in my quest to find all and to see,
Being blind to all is just I can be.
Scylla seems to suck away all my pride,
I do not even have a reason for pride to reside,
One of the deadly sins is one among many,
I felt I could do anything I wanted too freely.
Pardon my sins,
Forgive my transgressions.
Cast away my past into a sea of compassion.
Pardon my sins,
Forgive my transgressions.
Cast away my past into a sea of compassion.
Forgive me for I have sinned.
Escaping my fate is the hardest of tasks,
For I must first face the world without any masks,
Resisting the struggles that all my overcome,
But so grand to me even I can’t outrun.
All I ask of you is a speck of forgiveness,
Look over the past, leave a large omittence,
I must be expecting too much from you,
To improve it, there is nothing I can do.
Pardon my sins,
Forgive my transgressions.
Cast away my past into a sea of compassion.
Pardon my sins,
Forgive my transgressions.
Cast away my past into a sea of compassion.
Forgive me for I have sinned.
I call for just one thing more from you,
I have spent a life in pain with all that I do,
To show I can be good and true as dreamed,
Forgive me for I have sinned.

Lord

I am the Lord,
I am the Lord who’s waiting.
No one can join me.
My armies feed,
My armies feed on your grief.
No one can stop them.
Praise the lord.
Praise your lord.
Demons tear at my soul.
I send out my minions to burn and destroy.
The hordes ravage and burn.
As you watch on and mourn.
Praise the lord.
Praise your lord.
I am the Lord,
I am the Lord who’s waiting.
No one can join me.
My armies feed
My armies feed on your grief.
No one can stop them.
Praise the lord.
Praise your lord.
Demons tear at my soul.
I send out my minions to burn and destroy.
The hordes ravage and burn.
As you watch on and mourn.
Praise the lord.
Praise your lord.
Praise the lord.
Praise your lord.
