A Hymn Of Hardship
02:51

Born all alone in abandon
Since you were but seventeen
When the lurker in the shadow
comes to reap he comes for thee
Say goodbye to all your loved ones
Will they weep or be relieved?

An Aria Of Anguish

When the poison blood
leaks from skin that breaks
On the tile floor
forming pretty stains...
No amount of bleach
will make it clean
No amount of love
will heal the scar of me!
With my yellow eyes
and my hands that shake
With my twisted tongue
and my belly aches...
You say good bye
you kiss good night
You sing healing words
in an opera of knives!
When the mourning comes
please don't be afraid
If my body lies
in a separate place...
You smiled at me
when your destiny
Had given birth
to my obituary.

An Opera Of Knives

Visions blurred
Foundations quaked
The future: crushed beneath the waves
And when the past began to change
The Sentries looked the other way
Bridges burned
The oceans drained
The world was wrought
And naught remains
But when illusions start to break
The fear besets another pain
And I was happy that day
-Lost in your arms
And I was happy that day
-Lost in your smile
And I was happy that day
-Lost in your gaze
And I was happy that day
-I love you child
And I was happy that day
-For all your days
And I.....
...was happy that day!

A Ballad Of Bloodshed
04:10
|
|||
Born all alone in abandon
Since you were but seventeen
When the Lurker In The Shadow
Comes to reap he comes for thee
Say goodbye to all your loved ones
Will they weep or be relieved?
Woven threadbare in years or seconds
To leave a shell of the former We
To be devoured atom from atom
Ever-patient endlessly
