Forgive this sullen man before thee I am but a broken husk of shadows In life, all I wanted was joy Yet there is nothing left for me ....Only death I found pain in your dark eyes The bittersweet kiss of your laugh mocks me.... And all I held, dead to me... The masks of joyless faces, adorn the black souls here The circle is forever broken, the funeral days begin And all the scarlet sunsets, that shall always fall Will stand in silent mournings, to all the joys we've had And I know what they'll find When they try to look deep inside How can they see inside my head When all my life I lie dead? I found blood, in the oceans she cried The waters were wine, of the tears she shed Of all she lived And I know what they'll find When they try to look deep inside How can they see inside my head When all my life I lie dead? The failure will always remain Believe the lie, and see the tears I bring The fallen ones are here In this season of elegies Believe the lie, and see the tears I bring The fallen ones are here In this season of elegies Believe the lie, and see the sorrow I've known The fallen ones are here In this season of death From what I see My world lies in ruins right before me No, this can't be Have I lost all of my faith from within? My funeral scene, the mourner's cry But they're not crying over me This I believe For I never gave in to that sad mind lie affair And I need no one to tell me, that they love me That is for the weak My passion died with my mind And I long for the end Why do the voices pass with time? Does the heart erode and die? Am I cursed to live a lie? In time, I know that they'll want what's mine And I know that they fear for their lives I smile as each one dies They'll die, in time I know that they want what's mine My thoughts will burn for their crime And so I'll end it's time...

Carmilla Carmilla Carmilla Her eyes they burn, black as night Like dreams draped in sylvan horizon As shadows over the deep forest She arrived in peaceful sleep... Forgive me not, for I welcomed this deceit I forged the joy, In the ruins of me Among the broken stained glass I found life The crumbling stones, were as my youth In ivy they laid, as lilies upon the streams For I saw the black swans, as beauty The hallowed view, the winding road of time I dreamed in gray, I dreamed alone... Yet, still her eyes spoke to me the sadness of... A life of fear, of sorrow, the portrait of... Silence And all I knew was sadness, in the pall light of my death The funeral march passed as slowly, as autumn days The hymn was sung so bittersweet, so like a winters tragic song I shed somber tears of pride, yet she wore no pain Yet, still her eyes spoke to me the sadness of... A forgotten time of happiness, that can never again be Carmilla, I saw your face in the candle's flame Carmilla, I felt your gaze, and your languid embrace Carmilla, I heard your laugh, across the darkened walls Carmilla, I knew your grin, in the twilight of my death My death! Yet, still her eyes spoke to, me the sadness of... A weary heart for life, and the scarlet tears we shed The ruins of life, lay within the tears Yet still her eyes spoke to me the sadness of.... (her languid embrace) For all she has loved, all she has known, At last must die... Carmilla Carmilla Carmilla Carmilla

My tears sing your praise, in this hour of my sleep For your kind voice has died, with the harsh winds Though the cold steals my scorn, and pain of your death I once saw forever in your eyes, yet now I see nothing... My love, I know the pain in you, I see the sickness sunrise That dulls the light in you, I know you bear the burden That bleeds us, that bleeds the tears, the tears of sorrow Yet know the day shall die, and bring the pain to pass For the memory of your life, shall burn eternal To rest the pain will come, to rest... And sleep forever more For I heard your heart speak, the story of tears And though the night must end Your sadness rained bright, the sullen colour of fear The delicate shade of death, the hue of blood stained black In tombs of gray laced regret An empyreal dance of silence, for when her soul burned It darkened the red sky For I'd die a thousand deaths, each day in absinthe's arms In lucid dreams I see you, and hold you forever more My love, the day shall rise, with the tides of time To wash upon our graves, and let us sleep forever more And ever as I see, the stars's fall I see her azure eyes, upon me... (Let us sleep forever more) And the clouds cry in white... For she is gone For she is gone... My heart has died (My heart) In her pale arms (In her) My bride is gone (My bride) For she weeps no more My love, I cry (My love) In streams of somber (In streams) My soul is gone (My soul) With her laugh it fades My dear, I plead (My dear) To speak your tears (To speak) My sweet, I'm gone (My sweet) Before the dawn arrives My heart has died (My heart) In her pale arms (In her) My bride, I'm gone (My bride) For she weeps no more All the happiness in my life went with her smile (For she weeps no more) And as the days wear on, the roses fade, in the dry sun The flowers are dead here, they speak my wilted heart For I have seen the pain, and glory of death (the glory of death) And for all I know and care, I seek this silence (seek this silence) For this is a vestige of joy, and sorrows deep (and sorrows, and sorrows deep) All that's dear, to me, has gone forever from this world (from this world) May she rise, to behold once more, the tears I've shed The tears I've shed Believe in me, for your bitter tears can beckon my end Believe in my words, for they wither these dead flowers May the blood I shed, stain this bouquet... red, once more For, for I die for you I die for you I, I die for you I die for you I die, die for you

[The Angel speaks] "The wind is the carriage, from which I arrive And the storm, is the road I travel The frost on the window, is my kiss And the tears on your cheek, is the wine they sip You will never see again, the ones you love For I am your light, and I am your darkness This is your dream, this is your rapture And bittersweet is this journey, this death" [The Old Man] I have seen your eyes shine, before - In this room And through the years I cried, the tears - You sowed You took from me my only love - My only care And gave to me this empty shell - Of empty days I have waited for this night, amid - Endless sorrow Yet the agony of life, is now - Too great a task Though I fear your serene, your serene touch - I envy you So let the trumpets blare - The funeral march [The Mourners cry] The dried flowers fill the room, with the scent of death On this night with the wind, may she carry you away Your time is spent, the day is done, your struggle is gone The rain is here, the time has come May you join your love beyond [The Old Man] I have seen your beauty, among - The hills Among the graves, that rest - On pastures pure With the fall of life - I sought a god Yet, with this journey - I found nothing... [The Mourners cry] The dried flowers fill the room, with the scent of death On this night with the wind, may she carry you away (Carry you away) Your time is spent, the day is done, your struggle is gone The rain is here, the time has come May you join your love beyond

Emerald rays pierced the dusk that morning Painting a dull sickly color into my mind The eve of the emerald sun was upon me Denying me warmth, casting no shadows My eyes were cold as I gazed into the sky And all that was known, now was frozen in glass No angels voice, no devils whisper Only this empty silence of nothing I'm so alone, I feel as stone And all that I touch, shatters into dust So let this end, and bring this sorrow down You'll never see the silence, you'll never know my pain So let this be, I'll take this worthless life I'll bleed the yet fallen tears, this is the last sleep... No distant voice, calls for me The light is dim, as it casts no shadows My words are cold, my sense is numb My world has faded, my heart is empty...
