Moments of Life Chapter 1
Music is a dreadful thing. What is it? I don't understand it? What does it do? It exalts the soul. Utter nonsense. If you hear a marching band is your soul exalted? No you march. If you hear a waltz you dance. If you hear a mass you take communion. It is the power of music to carry one directly into the mental state of the composer. The listener has no choice. It is like hypnotism. So now, what was in my mind when I wrote this?

Such wonders, surrounding me, within rapture Graceful shapes of life beckon my sight Such perfection awakens the sordid feelings within me Its sacredness lures me in, lures me closer And now I know the beauty Their beauty creates my pain Their motions are pure elegance Like angels falling from heaven I turn to stone to watch them Their stance freezes my view I embrace this fleeting moment My inner self, hidden once, exposes my feelings That will leave stains that cannot be ignored They will be remembered A stare that comes to me makes me feel, Stranger than before Boiling my blood inside I mourn so loud Now that I know the beauty how can I go on?

No one around to talk to, Just me No ring of the phone, Silence Stranded here by myself But now I know it's just a dream No one to pull me out Only memories come to me Getting closer to my self demise My mind's become my worst enemy Suffered for so little I'm just barely alive My thoughts burn with bottled rage Overshadowing pleasure My pain dwells in solitude Exposes myself to dead eyes This placed used to strengthen me Now it just enhances my weakness I used to feel as any person would Now I'm lost in constant pain Remembering past days as they were Carving each thought into my skin Trying to reveal the crying child inside I caress the warmth left by you Your scent greets me like a dying friend I died last night in your tears That cold look in your eyes Consumes me with a void that will never fill My eyes open to curse a new day These thoughts just won't let me rest Because of the things I never knew Will this torment ever leave? I gave all of myself, As much as I could I'm so tired, I'm so sick I can't focus, I can't believe Was that me? Blind to everything I sense their stare Could they see inside of me? Do they know of my endless despair? Suffered for so little I'm just barely alive (barely alive) My thoughts burn with bottled rage Overshadowing pleasure My pain dwells in solitude Exposes myself to dead eyes I'm so alone I'm so alone
There are times I think about you and I can't believe You led me away from my dream I gave you my heart and soul You left me empty Those days are gone, We were together Those days are gone, Nothing lasts forever Those days are gone, I'll miss you Those days are gone, I don't know how I'll get through All these years you were all I knew Now these days I'm all confused I just got hit with the memory from the first time we laid in bed These thoughts tear scars within my head The loss of your love left a stain on my heart Now the tears are falling so hard I've opened my eyes and now I see the lies, I let your into my heart and all you did was tear my world apart Right now I'm sitting here, trying to find content in my future time I'm trying to repair the scattered pieces of life you left behind I gave up everything for us, but now you're gone And all you left me with is a heart filled with pain You make self-respect such a hard thing to maintain When the memory of you flashes through my mind All I can think about is dying Those days are gone, We were together Those days are gone, Nothing lasts forever Those days are gone, I'll miss you Those days are gone, I don't know how I'll get through When will my heart stop suffering? When will this go away? I crawl inside myself trying to find what made you go away I wish you would've stayed I wish you would've stayed We said our love would last forever We said our love would last forever But now I'm here all alone But now

I'm sitting here alone in darkness waiting to be free, Lonely and forlorn I'm crying I long for my time to come death means just life Please let me die in solitude Hate is my only friend pain is my father torment is delight to me Death is my sanctuary I seek it with pleasure Please let me die in solitude Receive my sacrifice my lifeblood is exhausted no one gave love and understanding Hear these words vilifiers and pretenders and please let me die in solitude Earth to earth Ashes to ashes Dust to dust

Your funeral was so silent and cold Nothing left to say now that you're gone I wept in the corner, All alone Looking at you laying peacefully I held your hand for so long I kissed your lips one last time In your ear I whispered poems of love Written for you to hear in life Now I pray that those words Will echo in your death How I long to be with you, with you once again So many times I've laid at your grave Praying to feel you close to me I've showered your headstone in tears Wishing to hear you breathe again With jealous eyes I look at the other graves Laying beside their loved ones forever Why can't I? Awake my love / Each night I wait for you In dreams you try to hide / Only this pain from you Your soul has become so cold / Bereavement is all I feel Your heart will never deceive / My heart died with you Our time must now end / Don't leave me here alone Forever dream of me / In my dreams you never died All that I had All that I once was Is now nothing, without you here Dawn no longer glows The nights, they last so long Everything's changed since you've gone
