The Search
There was a whisper that was tearing at my mind Like a dagger that smelled so sweet A constant reminder of the guilt for my crime I always knew we were never meant to be I rode for days, unto the place where I first saw you Thought I could chase a glimpse of sun once last time There was a haze that manifested in the forest It was a maze I knew I’d never escape Like writhing snakes, the onyx tresses of your hair Lay scattered still beneath the old oak tree As if to warn of some impending danger Perhaps the hemlock will finally set me free It haunts me Your frozen stare A burden We will never share The scarlet tears that hide your emerald eyes Recall the first time the raven sang for me Somewhere inside there was a feeling of jubilee Perhaps another lie about the man I used to be Strange patterns of leaves on the ground A place for me to search for peace There is a hope that one day you’ll forgive me For the pain I saw one autumn in a dream My eyes close Lying next to you It’s over now The life we never knew

Through halls of mirrors Reflection still unseen Figure moving nearer Perception or a dream Clad in soiled linen Familiar but foreign still In his hands glass slippin’ Suppression of his will Erase this vision It burns inside Pull back the curtains On a starless night Still river flowing Concealed horrors within The wind is moanin’ Sweepin’ away all that’s been Apparition returning His eyes are blackened coal Ground beneath him is burnin’ Littered with coins for his soul Erase this vision The sky hangs low Pull back the curtains Watch the madness grow An arrow drawn From the bow I carry still Your dragon ship Slips away The dancing light Through growing smog is all I have A smile concealed Behind my tears

Son, come take a look These pyres burn so brightly Casting shadows so long March to their own life beat The colors in the sky Remind us there is always "why?" And if we are to die then Glance once more and know my eyes Whatever we're searching for / Whatever we're crying for The scraps on the killing floor / I can't find them The things that have left us poor / The feelings we're letting go To chase after something more / I can't find it The beasts that roamed the wild Now tamed by angry child Covered in clouds of black From wicked man's attack A forest of Orange is dead And while we rest our heads The knowledge escapes again And we keep warring on Whatever we're searching for / Whatever we're crying for The scraps on the killing floor / I can't find them The things that have left us poor / The feelings we're letting go To chase after something more / I can't find it I don't want this for you But what can man do, after all? You’ve got to grow And then you’ll find what you know Something’s happened to you It has befallen us all If we only knew we’d Crumble to our knees and call Whatever we're searching for / Whatever we're crying for The scraps on the killing floor / I can't find them The things that have left us poor / The feelings we're letting go To chase after something more / I can't find it Whatever we're searching for / Whatever we're crying for The scraps on the killing floor / I can't find them The poison that makes us pure / The reason that we abjure Whatever it is I want more / And I'm not lying

I am deceit that brought the chains of Hades And made a jester of a king I am the quiet whisper on a tree branch Unrivaled by the deepest sting Your castle, a wilted flower In a garden of decay Where tear drops mark the hours Beneath the sun's last ray Your streams are running black And I know you see it too Your homes of gossamer Now cracked, expose the truth Paragon of virtue Bloodless masquerade Malicious retinue Straw-man parade I am the dagger, that pierced the tyrant's back An Eden born in crimson rain I am the noose on the end of a taut rope Sometimes the door to the end brings laughter Your castle, a wilted flower In a garden of decay Where tear drops mark the hours Beneath the sun's last ray Your empire, a wax museum Bound with feckless glue Your legacy, a mausoleum Of dreams in a sallow hue

Well I've been chasing this high Gone through kingdoms far and wide Couldn't see through snow so dense And it's hardly making sense Steady my hand Traverse the land Try to advance Become a man Steady my hand Across the land I will advance To become a man (Oh she said) Take me tonight And don't you let me go Let me sit right by your throne (I want to) Find where you are And never let go I just cannot be alone I love more than anything the air As it howls at high speed and blows through my hair Don't decide now what to say So much depends on the stops on the way Gone in the night Shimmering light Stars in my eyes Now I can fly Gone in the night Seeing no light Stars do not lie Only they fly (Oh she said) Take me tonight And don't you let me go Let me sit right by your throne (I want to) Find where you are And never let go I just cannot be alone (Oh she said) Take me tonight And don't you let me go Let me sit right by your throne (I want to) Find where you are And never let go I just cannot be alone (And she said) Take me tonight And don't you let me go I'm gonna call you my own (I want to) Know where you are And never let go I just will not be alone

Light flashes across an ocean To a dark soul on the other end A child, who knows nothing A voice which will soon the boy rend You only bring me pain I'm not entirely sure You only bring me pain I'm not created pure My crystal ball Don't say anything at all Dark storm inside Insane and precious high Culled, raped and spent Lost to sentiment Never seen again Bloody cold revenge Monsoons of tears arrive Drown every ship in his eyes Wrecked by hurricane of regret All he can do is upend You only bring me pain I'm not entirely sure You only bring me pain I'm not created pure My crystal ball / It don't say anything at all Dark storm inside / Insane and precious high Culled, raped and spent / Lost to sentiment Never seen again / Bloody cold revenge
