The Tide 04:08
The Tide From the stardust We both were born Here on this crust We saw the morn In different shapes And altered forms We swam, we flew When all was new The long gone apes We bared the storms I quivered blue So close to you You endure this rain For I was made for To ease all your pain I'm yours to the core I crawled by your side Up from the sea to the shore And here with this tide We will meet once more How the lifeline Will cut so fast Like a weak twine Not made to last Your startling eyes And soothing smile Through times they shine With you I'm fine You cared my cries In cave or aisle You gave your sign That you were mine You endure this rain For I was made for To ease all your pain I'm yours to the core I crawled by your side Up from the sea to the shore And here with this tide We will meet once more

The Sea of Apathy Praise me I will lead this clan Oh do not make a master plan Hellbent and proud I am Humanity I damn I'll never be a lamb The doors I close with a slam Hello you little bird Welcome here to my world Your lovely voice I've heard This rope around your neck I've swirled I am the broken glass Come with me, You'll bleed and pass away Don't reason now Because I'll do it anyhow (Sea of apathy) Don't say a word My little bird What is your wish It won't be heard (Drown with me) Placed on the plate of the beast The tasty flesh of the maiden bittersweet Your feathers fair I will ban Yes I am a possessive man I do not care to know Won't take the blame if so Your eyes have lost their glow Bygone, Now let it go Don't try to cut that rope You see, You have no hope For you there is no choice Beauty mine is your voice With whom the bird now laughs Don't waste the smile or glance No one will understand You do not stand a chance (Sea of apathy) Don't say a word My little bird What is your wish It won't be heard (Drown with me) Your skin is silk Snow White My lust is all I care about tonight (Sea of apathy) Those broken wings They do not fly Your pretty legs I will now tie (Drown with me) Placed on the plate of the beast The tasty flesh of the maiden bittersweet Hear when I sing to you this line The notes and words inside my spine My voice is released from under your dome In melodies I will build my home Someone will come to ease my pain Stand head up high by my side in the rain Inside my heart I'm always sad Yet I am not the one who's mad (Sea of apathy) Don't say a word My little bird What is your wish It won't be heard (Drown with me) Your skin is silk Snow White My lust is all I care about tonight (Sea of apathy) Those broken wings They do not fly Your pretty legs I will now tie (Drown with me) Placed on the plate of the beast The tasty flesh of the maiden bittersweet (Those wings are broken, Do not fly) (Those wings are broken, Do not fly) (The fine legs that I will come and tie) (The fine legs that I will come and tie) (Placed on the plate now of the beast) (Placed on the plate now of the beast) (The flesh of the maiden bittersweet) (The flesh of the maiden bittersweet)

Under the Belt of Orion You reached this place ahead of me I've been here before The hardened heart, wish you could see Do not close this door No soul came to stay Once we'll fade away Now when you roam Under the Belt of Orion Don't be afraid One heart is open for you to take You hide so well your ache Feel old and forlorn The nights when you lie awake All you do is mourn One life desolate How long will you wait Now when you roam Under the Belt of Orion Don't be afraid One heart is open for you to take Now when you roam Under the Belt of Orion Don't be afraid One heart is open for you to take The years may pass, the pain remains Dark eyes tell the tale The frightened blood runs in your veins My hand, unknown the trail Now when you roam Under the Belt of Orion Don't be afraid One heart is open for you to take Now when you roam Under the Belt of Orion Don't be afraid One heart is open for you to take

Hanging in Midair Shine bright My northern star Your light Loved from afar The ruthless wind The land hard and bare I will abide You will find me there Oath signed We count to five Thoughts kind Let me revive Do fight My fervent heart Each night We lie apart The ruthless wind The land hard and bare I will abide You will find me there Don't fear the sea Or fall into despair Though you keep me Hanging in midair I adore every line Carved by the time Every scar on your skin Every lock of your long brown hair Unruly yet so fair So scared The silence deep Fear shared We'll wait asleep The ruthless wind The land hard and bare I will abide You will find me there Don't fear the sea Or fall into despair Though you keep me Hanging in midair

The Clearing 04:39
The Clearing Come with me I'll show the way You will see My darkest day I'll take you to the place Where I began this path of fight The fine mist on the fields There you can see the stars at night Eyes I shun I do not still Trust but one I've paid the bill I had to bear the laughs Bruised I still hid the truth behind The one I loved so deep Used too much fluid to blur ones mind (Come with me) Keep your eyes on mine, becalm my pace In your embrace Your smile's like a burst of life to a dead old tree Rootless I roam free I'll fall through This voice of mine It won't do I've heard the line I made myself believe That I could never be the one Forsook my dreams for years Flat life I lived and I was done Slowed me down I hauled the load Chainmade gown All things they owed Some threw me as they will Way of the stone in ducks and drakes Some said I was insane They blamed me for their own mistakes Keep your eyes on mine, becalm my pace In your embrace Your smile's like a burst of life to a dead old tree Rootless I roam free Bear in mind what runs, the bells will peal Through palm the sand I know that I will heal the day I feel Your heartbeat under my hand It's not your fault yet to fix you plan The great mistakes of another man These ancient wounds that you can see Some will be cured, some stay with me Please be my mirror in this full madness The time of absence and constant sadness I fill with notes the dark void inside You do the same, all else waits aside Keep your eyes on mine, becalm my pace In your embrace Your smile's like a burst of life to a dead old tree Rootless I roam free Bear in mind what runs, the bells will peal Through palm the sand I know that I will heal the day I feel Your heartbeat under my hand

The Dragonfly This time I will be The lowest of the low I enter where no man dares to go Fine perfume and lace Dressed in all too tight I'll open the door of his chamber tonight They will come to learn my name The Shadow Heart or Darkest Dame The dreaded lady with the pain That no one will tame I'll fill the oath that I once said I will betray him in his bed He slayed the one who held my heart So he will join the dead His eyes and his hands On my alluring skin For this you would kill all of his kin Forgive me, my love This all I will do You must understand I will do it for you They will come to learn my name The Shadow Heart or Darkest Dame The dreaded lady with the pain That no one will tame I'll fill the oath that I once said I will betray him in his bed He slayed the one who held my heart So he will join the dead I'll let him stare into my eyes Unlace my dress and tell him lies His flesh is weak, easy to cheat He's blinded by my foul deceit The blade of yours, the Dragonfly Dagger hidden against my thigh My soft red lips will touch his ear Your name's the last word he will hear They will come to learn my name The Shadow Heart or Darkest Dame The dreaded lady with the pain That no one will tame I'll fill the oath that I once said I will betray him in his bed He slayed the one who held my heart So he will join the dead They will come to learn my name The Shadow Heart or Darkest Dame He slayed the one who held my heart So he will join the dead

There Was a Light I see the skyline Of this town Here from this hill Where I look down I am a fool I'm a face in a crowd The song in my head Plays too loud My halo has faded a long time ago I'm bruised and I'm battered, I'm taking it slow Do come and smite The darkness I dwell on There was a light Now it's gone Who is the holder Of your heart A star in this play What's my part I do not know The symbols on your skin Apart from the thing Through thick and thin What if I'm just insane, the thought in the night Have nothing to offer, I'm dull and I'm trite Do come and smite The darkness I dwell on There was a light Now it's gone The pieces you've given they can't be compiled The cabals in my mind now run way too wild The words have two meanings and silence will speak Can you hold the reins now for I am too weak Do come and smite The darkness I dwell on There was a light Now it's gone

They talk to me I do recall These stories that appall They used to give chills down my spine Things that run in family line It is a gift In blood it seems to shift The notes and visits from beyond We will always share the bond The number seven on a locker And a feather black on the floor I will always find a mocker It's a fearful mind that can't take more They give the signs You read between the lines The letters on a license plate Numbers that will set a date I put the pedal to the metal Like a dauntless on a racetrack But I will slow down and settle With a lifeless knee pressed on my back The sounds from the unknown Faces all bleak Voiceless they speak I bend to the dark tone Those we can't see Talking to me I have to warn The house where I was born You hear a deep sigh from the walls Cut off the line on phone calls It takes a while To greet them with a smile The cat that sleeps beside your feet You can't pet but it's still sweet I know you're daring and you're swearing No way in Hell you feel the dread 'till you wake up to the staring There's someone standing by the bed The sounds from the unknown Faces all bleak Voiceless they speak I bend to the dark tone Those we can't see Talking to me The sounds from the unknown Faces all bleak Voiceless they speak I bend to the dark tone And I don't care if you believe or agree I know, the dead, they talk to me

Dead by the Dawn Evade my eyes With silence dark As I have come To wear the mark The stains I have Can not be washed away Bound in the shame Destined to stay The crossfires burn Who will deceive, who will be true There's no return No hope in sight, I will fight it for you The doom will not wait Soon I will fall, I will be gone Call it my fate All for my love, I am dead by the dawn We stand in line On a muddy field I hide behind My iron shield All I can see The scattered stars up on your skin Sealed in my heart So deep within The crossfires burn Who will deceive, who will be true There's no return No hope in sight I will fight it for you The doom will not wait Soon I will fall, I will be gone Call it my fate All for my love, I am dead by the dawn (Dead by the dawn) (Call it my fate) (I am) (Dead by the dawn) (Call it my fate) (I am) (Dead by the dawn) (Call it my fate) (I am) (Dead by the dawn) (Call it my fate) (I am) The crossfires burn Soon I will fall, I will be gone There's no return All for my love, I am dead by the dawn (Dead by the dawn) (Call it my fate) (I am) (Dead by the dawn) (Call it my fate) (I am) (Dead by the dawn) (Call it my fate) (I am) (Dead by the dawn) (Call it my fate) (I am)
