Mea culpa, ecce signum, corpus vile, coram Deo Pactum serva, scala caeli, gloria Patri, pax et bonum Sine cura, vade mecum, casus belli, lusus naturae Dies illa, velut luna, dona es virtum

Tuck it in or take it out for what You cannot see with them eyes A tired hand, her naked hand, putting me to sleep. It won't be long, your glow Has left me dry and my abstinence has been Postponed by my comfort in denial. And the worst lie it may be that hope said She'd be the last one to leave. Always close now sense it clear For years to come I can't go back To the things I held so...I held so dear. We were crushed by her halo oh what a way to go... Endlessly she said forevermore in debt Colourful, so beautiful, with fever eyes closed and so free Those were my heroines. Freedom roar from senseless mind Apocalypse all dressed in white Saw it coming watched them leaving with all I ever was. Broken tissue, broken dreams far-fetched as those fantasies Since peace of mind was not meant for me. I'll praise them silently...We were...Endlessly.

Red eyes only, the floor comes closer, a kiss that bruises, a skin so frail Iron taste tongue, rage polluted, the veins so furious With a mouth that will never tell. Scars and stitches battered heart broke down and this time it will not heal Rear-view lovers, miss them dearly, years of absence has made them pale. Breathe and soothe a wake mind that cannot sleep So much hope and now a future that looks so bleak But what if time is all we have To make you believe in To save me from leaving it all. Dream of them lights so much brighter, voices louder I hear them sleep Naive prayers, lone and futile, pulse's rising, it's boiling underneath Didn't know I had it in me, didn't know I had it all Fuel them thoughts may they Keep you safe from a world That won't wear you again They tell you it's lonesome when led astray

Pure as the unborn son, pure as the maid should be ceased to breathe again Never look away from those with nothing to spare But I do and I don't want to care anymore If I close my eyes would it spare me the sight? Of decay, corruption, how we nurture destruction And everything that will doom us all. Chaos may be thy name, you left us for anything Trust never been so misplaced as in your arms that day Those that you gave away to those who could ease your mind We were nothing but a waste of your time and space But I do and I don't want to care anymore If i close my eyes would it spare me the sight? Of decay, corruption, how we nurture destruction And everything that will doom us all.

Nello specchio viso d?angelo, Capelli d?angelo, prigione d?angelo Nello specchio scena di violenza Tremo senza il suo abbraccio Nello specchio filo spinnato di veluto vesta i suoi tremi desideri Un silezio prezioso per le masse Accecarli, la speranza trasforma ceneri Fate passare, respiri com facilit? Mostrano i suoi pensiri sulla paca

In the mirror Angel face with angel hair in an angel cage In the mirror, violence staged tremble without her embrace In the mirror Velvet wires Dressed her shivers in desire Precious silence for the masses Blind them all hope to ashes Make way breathe with ease Display her thoughts on peace The truth in your eyes Never should have been so lonely A fragile move within Breathing in time with the ones who never owned you Requiem, invite them all In the mirror cracks in their truth today she's done today she's gone Gently veiled in violent slumber Eyes forgave, since outnumbered Save her innocence Long gone is her scent The truth... Cura, Mortuus, Sanctus, Veritas

Wish for what you never had Beg for words you've never heard That told them to keep waving at the star Told them to be beautiful... But will they ever know who you are Can they be all you ever needed When those hands are not for tying. I will let you shine, like the most sincere, little lie, It will grow on you like tender force brutal love Closer to what you've become or to what you've never shown Like a china-voice in a crowd All her glory might come to overthrow you With eyelids closed, it's time you let it go. Can they be all you ever needed When those hands are not for tying. I will let you shine, like the most sincere, little lie, It will grow on you like tender force brutal love I will let you shine, like the most sincere, little lie, It will grow on you like tender force, infralove

So I assume this could be freedom from me to you And with such a distorted view upon life and what we do Your ways to persuade me into what my memory is forced to shade I loathe what you made of me bullet blind eventually All those aching hours with abusive powers Whispered your name through it all, now we're stuck with that's left to save But out of all I entitled you my favourite scar I'll keep it forever closed, keep it forever sealed, keep it forever closed So what if I wake up to the sound of another illusion break Smashed now it's yours to keep close to whatever you call your needs Now when I've seen you fall I can finally start to recall Sights of a past unclear and learn what I should hold dear All those aching hours with abusive powers Whispered your name through it all, now we're stuck with that's left to save But out of all I entitled you my favourite scar I'll keep it forever closed, keep it forever sealed, keep it forever closed so that no one will know

You try to wake up from your daze It's not your turn though I feel it's getting closer Fall back in line and please retreat for another hour, for another week Turn inside to reach out, sense you close yet you're out of my sight Now open up and in one last try won't you give me something to remember you by I'll feed you lies like the truth shall set us free Try to see not to believe the shaded truth of you Please don't follow me into the sun Hope things might turn, I'm all but clear My mind at ease in spite of what I hear I'm hiding in shades where peace is to be found The faceless just waiting for you to succumb Those we don't speak of now, those who dress in sweeping white Now embrace the future you'll be the first to meet And then you'll better wait there for me I'll feed you lies like the truth shall set us free Try to see not to believe the shaded truth of you Please don't follow me into the sun

Clean yourself of dust from a broken world Set free to adore Your love tastes like mine empty inside but with nothing to hide Your throat cries what used to be my name Before the guilt drove you insane Give in, give up 'cause in the end you'll follow me I'll reveal the truth and all of my needs Without the skin, the bones I'm god almighty kneel then fear my love You'll be tamed Lust in spite of what I tend to see If I dye those eyes I'll dye them black like mine, like earthbound wings yearning for sky Your body cries what used to be my name Before the guilt drove you insane Give in, give up 'cause.... Without the skin, the bones I'm god almighty kneel then fear my love My liquid love implodes your world your shelter came undone so long ago

Well-paid Jesus, vicious nails by tired angels of mine Fresh taste of first light when they do come down Skin-deep memories of siren lullabies Sealed from us from me From everything You go Despair you tend to bring to me, to us to everything With tide comes Holy water, she's breaking those waves Holy water, she's breathing those waves The silence keeps her sane Tainted sounds from haunted throats Iron tears on satin sheets Silver spoon, bread through pain Ether eye has never seen Where dirty hands have never been Sealed from us... Holy water...
