Nocturnes and Requiems

There’s a portrait on the wall and it seems she’s smiling A lady in black with red stains on her dress Tied to a tree is a rope and it hangs longingly Under the moon a procession of death I can see her standing there, in a trance she calls to me Underneath this moonlit starry night Siren song takes me in, there is no saving me Alone in this nightmare I walk into the light I can hear her say Come with me and I will show you what I have seen Slowly ascending our way towards a dream, so steadily “Shadows entwined around this dark heart of mine, it lies silently” In between my trembling hands her neck slides gracefully Rolling eyes no longer look so hard I see she’s fading fast disappearing before me Her life slips away under my grasp Come with me and I will show you what I have seen Slowly ascending our way towards a dream, so steadily “Shadows entwined around this dark heart of mine, it lies silently”

The Fields lined with pawns are prepped for harvest Chaotic meadow of windblown waste spoils the order of the day You can taste the scent of ether on the horizon As the sun sets on what could be their final day Struggling on with the wolf at the door It’s the life we were born to It’s “all we are fighting for” Taking the high ground charge through and make way There will be no depriving us It’s “all we are fighting for, all we are dying for” We charge through clouds of smoke headed for the tower Still lines form across the steaming field of decay Unopposed we make our way through the gates and enter As the hard gravel path gives way to more forgiving clay! Wandering the streets, through the city such a lonely place We suffer on all alone so many faces around us Is this what we are all in for? This is what you are all in for... Is this what we are all in for? This is what you are all in for... Now we take the crown of thorns from the throne of the oppressors Never a moment of remorse crosses my mind as the body hits the ground... Struggling on with the wolf at the door It’s the life we were born to It’s “all we are fighting for” Taking the high ground charge through and make way There will be no depriving us It’s “all we are fighting for, all we are dying for”

Struck down dealing out mercy and slaughter Temptation what’s one more lost sheep in the flock? Don’t waste your time on such trivial things as salvation We sell candles to blind men take food from the mouths of the lot Children... are you reading along? Martyrs... sacrificed for a song! No more time for the silver tonged liars Temptation selling us more than you’ve got Don’t turn around to see pasts that have been left behind us No looking back, no forgiveness in hell, they will rot I went to sleep in another world Lost as I dreamed of our end Seeing a fortune now lost to me Then I wake up to find it was all in my head Crosses fixed to frail men on an altar Disgraceful images of paradise lost What kind of spirit let’s children pass on so before them May we leave them behind start anew let the past be forgot Children... are you reading along? Martyrs... sacrificed for a song! I went to sleep in another world Lost as I dreamed of our end Seeing a fortune now lost to me Then I wake up to find it was all in my head! [?] Children... are you reading along? Martyrs... sacrificed for a song Children... are you reading along? Martyrs... sacrificed for a song...

There was a time when it almost came true When my fate was to be decided I was left clinging to you Holding the remains of my life And it’s over now The stage was set No one really knew what to expect Then silent eyes casted along a path headed to demise So now we wait trained on the end In this great debate Short on time with no recourse We cross the line into the end Ah... Ah... Ah... So now we wait Held captive to a lie believed to the day Those sins repaid Now years have passed and lines left to betray Suspended in time we’ve lost the will The nerve to carry on Short on time, now no remorse We’ve crossed the line “this will be the end” Ah... Ah... Ah... I was caught sleeping for the great awakening Eyes silent, shades dark To be innocent To pass on through...

It isn’t the time now to tell her our plans It isn’t our fault that this nightmare won’t end At first it was like a dream Now I’m only reminded of death She was a shadow on the walls of my room How quickly those same walls became my tomb Oh how they welcomed me to sleep Now I can only wait for the dawn and weep... I wait for the dawn and weep There is a dark man at the door Waiting for me to step outside Nobody sleeps here anymore If only a dream would let me hide... I’m lying anxious in the light of the moon Though beyond the curtain some devil still looms I wait here paralyzed with fear And I wonder how much time I have left I come to quickly there’s a knock on my door So many dark memories flood back in once more I wish for a way that I can run and hide There’s only one way out but I just can’t go outside I just can’t go outside There is a dark man at the door Waiting for me to step outside Nobody sleeps here anymore If only a dream would let me hide... I see someone standing in the shadows He won’t come into the light Maybe I’ll go to him and see just what he has in store for me It can’t be worse than another sleepless night... Oh how I prayed for the end, this unbearable dream Could no longer pretend, she was not I went to sleep in another world Lost in a dream not my own Oh how I prayed for the end, this unbearable dream Could no longer pretend, she was not as she seemed... There is a dark man at the door Waiting for me to step outside Nobody sleeps here anymore It was only a dream There is a dark man at the door Waiting for me to step outside Nobody sleeps here anymore It was only a dream It was only a dream But now... the Nightmare is gone...
