The Leaden Ghost

Will you follow the curse of a baneful sorrow? Beyond milestones of death. To insatiable oblivion To the end of it all. Will you follow? Spell a word that shall befall With a gleaming light of the leaden dawn In a sudden rush her heart still beats A lamented jewel buried deep in tragedies With all hatred it could keep, Bleeding so painfully In vain she blamed the Lord and cried Her prayers despised by tacit saints Fed up with a tongue of blasphemy, Her weakening sighs will end in agony Oh, hapless Fate of all mankind When darkness calls a day In its ending serenade, Again she awakes To take a sorrowful fate of the mourner In every dawn I see A pale figure appear, To disastrous chaos dragging me down Towards the mist I step In dissonant sanity Blazing damnation of a sufferer, In vague blackness haunting me, Enraging howling whistlers of death Stealing terror upon me, The shining vision solidified Razored reality Enraged howling whistlers of death Silent winds whistle My own disease I've seen a vision flickering And the beauty of its stillness From a lifelike breath I could hear a sigh Then she dropped a tear Like she was alive Towards the curse Now The gates of everlasting sleep stood wide Beneath the gale and waterline She made a step to the frozen land, Where silent winds whistle death Light upon us, haze around us Light upon us descends And you're so fragile melting in my arms, A vision ethereal The morning fades in tranquil harmonies A dancing shade slips through my hands To the untrodden path Where still immortals stand A serene shelter for their eternal rest A hardly beating heart I hear In a whistler's melody Oh, my mind can yield A wanderer of the lonely sea To serenade my woes away A grey fog breaks the dawn In stirring madness of the blusterous sea By storming winds Her sleep disturbed. Disrupted She's still horrified And tightened to the deck Oh, how I wish she was alive Once dashed ashore a fair maid Far off and desolate Her drifting corpse of chaos made To return to life no more In deep poisonous salted waters Into the void And then I saw utter destruction of a visible form Scorched, wrecked and torn That fog dispelled upon the shore Again your body laid frozen No more my breath could thaw your soul Each dawn I open my eyes and sigh for you

Light upon us descends And you're .so fragile melting in my arms, A vision ethereal The morning fades in tranquil harmonies A dancing shade slips through my hands To the untrodden path Where still immortals stand A serene shelter for their eternal rest A hardly beating heart I hear In a whistler's melody Oh, my mind can yield A wanderer of the lonely sea To serenade my woes away A grey fog breaks the dawn In stirring madness of the blusterous sea By storming winds Her sleep disturbed. Disrupted She's still horrified And tightened to the deck Oh, how I wish she was alive Once dashed ashore a fair maid Far off and desolate Her drifting corpse of chaos made To return to life no more In deep poisonous salted waters Into the void, And then I saw litter destruction of a visible Form Scorched, wrecked and torn That fog dispelled upon the shore Again your body laid frozen No more my. breath could thaw your soul Each dawn I open my eyes and sigh for you

Scorched, wrecked, torn Yet struggling through the sea Towards agonizing waves the vessel drifts Through the howling winds from the Northeast Like a wounded beast Ferociously Oh, Father, what may it be? Shuddered. I cry out loud Can you hear me? While I stay bound to the mast Oh, Father Watching collision of Moon and Sun I hear the bell-like thunder roar A scornful laughter of our Lord Here shall we all die at once? In this chaos where even Gods keep silence No more they hear us Scorched, wrecked, torn And salty water filling my throat Mud in my eyes, so close darkness I see Scorched, wrecked, torn then crumbled to the sea Oh, Father, what may it be? We are cold As I draw in a leaden aura, They gather around me, Hollow shades of absurd A forlorn cry Of their suffering nature Echoes the final scene of my stand Lead upon me The ghost will take me Soon I'll be rewarded We'll soon be a shade of the one We are cold leaden aura

Revive Come alive Soon your soul will breathe again Into me She is a painter of my burden Nothing more to bear With every touch She takes away A shadow from my day As cold as her kiss In a wilderness Do I exist? Wandering White silver in the air Faintly it descends So let it snow Until she fills my chest with lead of spells By her words my mind possessed With eyes staring at her freezing mouth My body is of fragile ice Mesmerized no frost I felt Disappearing Frozen there she laid With crystal eyes wide open She comes alive Under the gentle snow The leaden ghost She's watching the sea with steady eyes of a roamer Abandoned forevermore a spirit of the shore Enchanting restless waters, whose depths enshrined her life Cold and petrified She's searching the truth she'll never know In a cadence of forgetfulness A damnatory weakness of her failure Behind the veil of haze a wraith I see Shining grey A formless figure of endless suffering A transparent shell of human being Then spilled a tear The girl cried loud The name of the beloved one, Who waited on the shore that day With all hopes wrecked and swept away And then she sighed again, Revealed to me a secret Of my end You blind my eyes. I can't see Your leaden light unto me This unbearable numb pain in my ears A haunting voice I cannot resist It terrors my mind I just cannot reach your words behind Unconscious I step into water While soft winds die down, The cold water sun I see Are you a ghost of the leaden light shining? Your words are full of sense, but I can't hear you While soft winds die down…

She's watching the sea with steady eyes of a Roamer Abandoned forevermore a spirit of the shore Enchanting restless waters, whose depths Enshrined her life Cold and petrified She's searching the truth she'll never know, In a cadence of forgetfulness A damnatory weakness of her failure Behind the veil of haze a wraith I see Shining grey A formless figure of endless suffering A transparent shell of human being Then spilled a tear The girl cried loud The name of the beloved one, Who waited on the shore that day With all hopes wrecked and swept away And then she sighed again, Revealed to me a secret Of my end You blind my eyes. I can't see Your leaden light unto me This unbearable numb pain in my ears A haunting voice I cannot resist It terrors my mind I just cannot reach your words behind Unconscious I step into water
