Desiderata
Speak it solify, I will hear you Through your words are insincere All your talk amounts to nothing And that nothing's not for me Through a thousand smooth Your voice still rings in my ears If you'd remember who you were I could take hell out of your care I could give you all I am No more syllables to hide us Fate dead within our hands No more shadows and contortions We have run out of lies I could leave you undefended Always hurting always wrong Leave you wanting and dependent On a hope that'd let you down But still your voice retains the phantom Of all you wanted to be I could give you all I am Say my name No more words to hide us Fate dead within our hands No more shadows and contortions We have run out of lies No more syllables to hide us Say my name

Useless words and scattered earth Wring that neck for what it's worth Curse the flood and hate the sun I will see the damage done Plague holds this land, flooded with milky tears Life dripping from their eyes Burning their hearts to sleep Pure salvation on your tongue Drink the venom you're become Traitor by necessity Be the dirt that clings to me Plague holds this land, flooded with milky tears Life dripping from faithless eyes With the surface sealed Plague on this land! None I loved and none I spared I fulfil what I prepare The remnants of your line Lost the blood that now is mine Plague holds this land, flooded with milky tears Life dripping from faithless eyes With the surface sealed I have listened, I have come I have torn you, one by one Be the dirt that clings to me

All will wither, go to sleep The ones you love you may not keep All you touch will fall apart The dreams you kill will break your heart There's no merc, there's no rest The void will scream within your chest No one knows and no one will So leave this place that makes you ill

Nothing can turn me now Come the terror, come the turmoil Close over breath and bones On the tide will flow Rivers of vibrant life Come the fever to the dead soil Stream with my dormant dreams On the tide will flow Cold is the waiting stone Come the change, I'm sick with hunger Burn me and make me whole On the tide will flow, slow and sure Come the fall, the fall I long for Blind me and bring me home On the tide will flow Seed my world with auguries With agony and joy With fear to hold my spirit down And glory yet to come So will be the day On the tide will flow Out from our eyes Out from our feeding hands No pain and no penitence No word to hold the flood to come Burn me and make me whole Blind me and bring me home On the tide will flow

Storyteller, bring your stories to my pyre You, the tame man, be what I have learned to loathe Tell me the secrets buried underneath a thousand years of dirt Tell me the fever chills your blood You were the last I'll be the first Fall as you are and for good I am here, there's nothing left to change Life bleeds too soon, counting time down on us Hope withers at my touch Leaving it's ghost to teach all colours grey Change Dtoryteller, see the futile smiles and answers I will teach you not to taint my sweet control I have a deeper kind of riddle and a puzzle you won't solve Laugh on your knees Laugh for the changeling and the joke that took us all Change

What are the words of the queen on her throne? Spite and splendour, cold under stone This is her promise What is the name of the gift that she brings? Sleepless slumber under her wings This is her promise Cold, cold stone Cold stone that buys and baits you Cold stone that hides and hates you Older that pride and oyre Older that flood and fire Here the swiftest beat will stop Here the strongest man will fall In her tower, in her halls In her silent maze of cold stone Cold stone to groom and grind you Cold stone to make and mind you Cold stone to bleed and blind you Cold stone to break and bind you And her arms won't let you go And her weight will pull you down And her breath is in your lungs And her laugh is that of cold stone What are the words that will always remain? Hunger, sorrow, winter and rain These are her promise

Sleep, take me now and never let me wake Still in your hands, in you're kingdom I'll be yours to break Sleep, I am tired I have blundered on to a path where I don't belong Still in your land, I'll be safe from where I could go wrong Promise me a silver dream Let your silence flow over me Give me serenity and take away my will Let your silence flow over me Ghosts hold no pain I surrendered years ago Life has no claim on me Let me sleep quietly beneath The pulse noise of everyday Lefi has no claim on me Sleep, if I beg you, will you bleed all memory from my veins? Cold in your arms, I'll have given all my hurt away I am not afraid I have waited on your doorstep too long Take back my name Close my eyes and turn my face away
Fate, I see your stare Underneath your pale eyes All is here, holding it's breath to have life Smooth, sleek smiles howl at my door To hold me down or more me on? The pace makes it unclear They smell of lust Of sweetly silky rotting dust Once they'll measure me coldly Twice they'd beg me to try Hope will always betray me It's hand of stone has left the bitter mark on me Bright, clean lies bleed from their lips The twist of their tongues a pattern in the puzzle I will wait I wait and cover the strain Hopes, atrocities and daydreams Lay it all on me The cause that I should die for Lay it all on me Fate, I see your stare All is here Fate, I could not care less All is here

I open my eyes today To leave the world of dreams behind We all know the nothing A hole in our hearts we try to forget Or drown in jest and jokes So I open my eyes today To let myself be torn apart In the rigid chill of my vow All my dreams will die My blood is seeded with hateful ghosts Their clawing hands upon my faults Pleading my guilt as they pull me down Into the sea of broken hope How could I have known? All my dreams were lies I know All my dreams were lies All my dreams have died Die

I know that death hides in my eyes And screams from my song I've left the bright lights Left for the river without bridges Slow and silent In it's waters I can dream of peace I know of no hope Down and into the flood will be my way And to my hangman I will bow My scaffold will follow me down Sing as the soul falls Over the water your voice lingers Just be by my side When the river sweeps my feel away Though I gave you no hope And all your love I repaid with pain I will go down Stay with me My light is all gone Stay with me
