The Ultimate Vampire Resource and Directory

Soldiers of the Wasteland

---------------------------------



Burning fires burning lives on the long distant roads

Through the lost mountains endless so far away from home



Crossing battles savage seas towards the mountains high

Forest plains of wilderness we're striking out tonight

On towards our destiny we travel far and wide

Journey through the darkness as your hearts refuse to die



In the flames of hell we fire at will the fires of doom has come

With the forces of the blackest knights there're staring at the sun

Far across the distant plains of ice we're searching for the sword

When the time has come for battle now we follow with the horde



We will ride with fire burning hot towards the night sky

In the land of long ago forever in our souls

Fly on wings of shining steel are burning so bright

In ancient lands of warriors we're riding on again



Burning fires burning lives on the long distant roads

Through the lost mountains endless so far away from home

warrior soldiers forever we fought long ago

We're all lost in the darkness so far away from home



Fallen soldiers taste the steel of death the daylight dawning

Sun will shine upon the lives of burning hearts of ice

As you break through the boundaries of life this feeling of despair

And they die in their sleep for the world that will not care

You feel lost in this labyrinth of pain this sickening dismay

There's a voice inside that's calling another wasted day



Can't you see the history the suffocating madness

In the land of fallen souls there's nowhere left no place to go

I have traveled far and wide across this wasteland

Still searching for the answers for the right to understand



Burning fires burning lives on the long distant roads

Through the lost mountains endless so far away from home

Warrior soldiers forever we fought long ago

We're all lost in the darkness so far away from home



Riding through starlight and smashing the boundaries as hellfire falls from the sky

A shadow of pain will arise from the ashes of those fallen ones who have died

Our only master with fire and fury of hell will see his bidding done

Blasting from high as the battle unfolds to the gates of the city we come



We will ride with fire burning hot towards the night sky

In the land of long ago forever in our souls

Fly on wings of shining steel are burning so bright

In ancient lands of warriors we're riding on again



Burning fires burning lives on the long distant roads

Through the lost mountains endless so far away from home

Warrior soldiers forever we fought long ago

We're all lost in the darkness so far away from home

(repeat)

Vague

-----------------------------------



Chemicals keep me under control

Chemicals keep me under control

Chemicals keep me under control

Chemicals keep me under control



Sleeping at the wheel

I can't feel my face

Maybe it's better this way

My stomach's twisted, all tied up in knots

And I'm feeling like I don't want this

Killing time as the clock goes

Tick tock, tick tock

They'll never keep you away from me

I know where you'll be tomorrow

What difference does it make to you?

I don't care ain't got the time

Winning the race for another line

It's written in my mind

Just to get it all away from me

Away from me

'Cause I think I'm falling



'Cause I think I'm falling

Falling out of touch with life

And I'm thinking it's all just a big mistake

I think I'm falling

Falling, out of touch with life

So what have I been telling myself?



Must be the rage deep down inside of me

Eating me away

Eating me away

Feelings are so vague, so wrong

So what have I been telling myself?



So I've been chosen

To be the victim of

Your misery

That's right I'm frozen

Chemicals keep me under control

So cold from all the ice and amphetamines

That I just might make you think



That Jesus was your middle name

As though it seems to be an act of God

But for now go ahead and believe what

You want to believe

'Cause I think I'm falling



'Cause I think I'm falling

Falling out of touch with life

And I'm thinking it's all just a big mistake

I think I'm falling

Falling out of touch with life

So what have I been telling myself



Must be the rage deep down inside of me

Eating me away

Eating me away

Feelings are so vague

So wrong

So what have I been telling myself?

Must be the rage deep down inside of me

Eating away

Eating me away

Feelings are so vague

So what have I been telling myself?



Myself [repeat x8]

You know what kills me?

Chemicals keep me under control [repeat x15]



Why is everybody hooked on

When you feel so desperate you got your grip on me

I take away all the trust and all the sympathy



Why is everybody hooked on everybody else



I'll guess I'll never understand it

Come and fill your head with lies

No I can't explain

Why everyone seems so vague



Must be the rage deep down inside of me

Eating me away

Eating me away

Feelings are so vague

So what have I been telling myself?



Feelings are so vague

So what have I been telling myself?



Must be the rage deep down inside of me

Eating away

Eating me away

Feelings are so vague

So what have I been telling myself?

Deep Inside it's eating me away

Feelings are so vague

Feelings are so vague

Voices

------------------



'Love, just don't stare'

He used to say to me

every Sunday morning

The spider in the window

The angel in the pool

The old man takes the poison

Now the widow makes the rules



'So speak, I'm right here'

She used to say to me

not a word, not a word

Judas on the ceiling

the Devil in my bed

I guess Easter's never coming

So I'll just wait inside my head



Like a scream but sort of silent

living off my nightmares



Voices repeating me

'Feeling threatened?

We reflect your hopes and fears.'

Voices discussing me

'Others steal your thoughts

they're not confined

within your mind.'



Thought disorder

Dream control

Now they read my mind on the radio

But where was the Garden of Eden?



I feel elated

I feel depressed

Sex is death, Death is sex

Says it right here on my Crucifix



Like a scream but sort of silent

living off my nightmares



Voices protecting me

'Good behavior

brings the Savior

to his knees.'

Voices rejecting me

'Others steal your thoughts

they're not confined

to your own mind.'



"I don't wanna be here, 'cause of my

suffering, 'cause of my illness.

Only love is worth having, only

love is what matters, loving every

people on equal terms. "

"You've got to know who you're

dealin' with because, like a stranger,

a-heh, just might come in through

here with a gun... and then, what

would you do? (Heh.)"

"Everything is immaterial..."

"'n' you know that reality is immaterial."

"This is not reality..."



I'm kneeling on the floor

staring at the wall

like the spider in the window

I wish that I could speak

Is there fantasy in refuge?

God in politicians?

Should I turn on my religion?

These demons in my head tell me to



I'm lying here in bed

Swear my skin is inside out

Just another Sunday morning



Seen my diary on the newsstand

Seems we've lost the truth to quicksand

It's a shame no one is praying

'Cause these voices in my head

keep saying...



'Love, just don't stare.'

'Reveal the Word when you're

supposed to'

Withdrawn and introverted

Infectiously perverted

'Being laughed at and confused

keeps us pleasantly amused

enough to stay.'



Maybe I'm just Cassandra fleeting

Twentieth century Icon bleeding

Willing to risk Salvation

to escape from isolation



I'm witness to redemption

heard you speak but never listened

Can you rid me of my secrets?

Deliver us from Darkness?



Voices repeating me

'Feeling threatened?

We reflect your hopes and fears.'

Voices discussing me

Don't expect your own Messiah

This netherworld which you desire

is only in your mind.

Alone

-----------------------------



Tear dimmed rememberance

In a womb of time

Breath upon me

Possessed by the passion

Fate will set you free

Infertile

Chased be the precious

When flesh is an enemy

Fair weather man



(pre-chorus:)

Step aside from the way of a better man than you

So you fall at his feet hes the one who betrays you

Its the servants devotion for the decay

Stand up



(chorus:)

There are no flowers on your grave

There are no chains

There I keep chanting for the forgotten name



Why you feel so empty

And still have everything

Its fullfilment

Ive got more companions

When Im all alone

Flesh is fetching

Honor

--------------------------------------



Resolute a stance of defiance

Always teetering on the brink

Nothing can hold you back when

When you're not holding back a thing



Open arms (we) embrace tomorrow

Closed fists, tarnishing today

We're not afraid to open our mouths and scream

We believe in what we say



Like a whisper to the dusk

An oath against the shadows

Denying the dark

FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT till the break of dawn

Like a prayer unto the dawn

In arms against the shadows

Destroying the dark

FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT till the break of dawn



Covered in sweat and blood

Yet still our heads held high

Actions have consequences

When you live for foolish pride



Been careful not to lose ourselves

Stand together one passion one hate

We believe in a better tomorrow

We believe in what we say



Like a whisper to the dusk

An oath against the shadows

Denying the dark

FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT till the break of dawn

Like a prayer unto the dawn

In arms against the shadows

Destroying the dark

FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT till the break of dawn



Well fight our battles well wage our wars

Settle the scores with honor and blood

Well wear our scars like medals of hope

Upon the Shores

------------------------------



Wandering endlessly upon the shores

For something that I will never attain

Banished here for a life of nothingness

My only comfort is the sand I bleed on



Hope is gone, it will never be the same

All I feel are the repeated stings of pain

Pungent stench of the sins of the worthless ones

Faithless cries of the sins of the godless ones



Marching on in deathly silence

Upon the shores we go

Crashing tides applaud the violence

Upon the shores we go



I'm dying endlessly upon the shores

For something that I will never attain

Tortured here for a life of nothingness

My only comfort is the sand I die on



Hope is gone, it will never be the same

All I feel are the repeated stings of pain

Pungent stench of the sins of the worthless ones

Faithless cries of the sins of the godless ones



Marching on in deathly silence

Upon the shores we go

Crashing tides applaud the violence

Upon the shores we go



Charon, is this the fate for me

Is the Obolus all I pay

Cursed to wander the shores of Acheron

My eyes must have been missing silver coins



[solo: MKH]



Maggots drinking the blood of me

Insects licking the tears I weep

Hornets piercing, while wasps are breaking

Every single fucking inch of skin on me



[solo: CKB]



Hope is gone, it will never be the same

All I feel are the repeated stings of pain

Pungent stench of the sins of the worthless ones

Faithless cries of the sins of the godless ones



Marching on in deathly silence

Upon the shores we go

Crashing tides applaud the violence

Upon the shores we go

Communion And the Oracle

------------------------------------



All we know, now has come undone

Balance lost between the Moon and Sun

Hear out prayers - Keepers of the Skies

Divine

Upon us all - let your wisdom shine



Losing faith as the madness prevails

in us all we are searching for a reason,

a need to calm the storm

In our sails - let your winds be strong



Breathe the air around you

The oceans fill your veins and winds

embrace your heart

Feel the change within you

The Sun and Moon align - The Grand

Design awaits a new start



From the skies, looking down on you

Through the clouds tainted crystal blue

"Such advancement, yet lacking the

control,

so unaware of your earthly roles"



Praise this child and the words of her

rhyme

A sacred gift - Magic of the Five will

bring you tranquillity

A new order of equality



Five senses come alive - Five reasons

thrive - Five nations unite - Unite as

one

Night and Day will find a way to keep

the Balance true

Let the Sky and Stars be your guide -

the destination is up to you



Raise our heads up to the Skies

Feel the essence of Time

Changing ways like the shifting tides

In the waves hear the Rhyme



"..unfortunately, not all were interested in the

Ways of Justice, and those of the Night

gathered to plot the elimination of the great

Law of One and the death of Ma'at. The

Atlantens harnessed the energy of the great

Crystals to create a weapon of immense power,

unaware that the power they possessed would

ultimately lead to thier downfall..."

Trekka (Desert Porn Mix)

-------------------------------------



I don't know, but it's been said,

"You do or don't, and then you're dead."

So climb away, get higher son.

Never stray, just move ahead.



Never one to hog the grass,

Sniff the dope and act an ass,

Just a soldier marching to

The golden rule of puff and pass.



So pardon me, I'm wrappin' up.

If I was speakin out of class,

I'm just a grunt who's groovin' to

The golden rule of puff and pass.



I don't know, but it's been said,

"You do or don't, and then you're dead."

So climb I will, or crawl around.

Never stray just move ahead.



Left, right, left. Hooah!



I don't know but it's been said,

"We'll rest forever when we're dead."

I don't know but it's been said,

"We'll rest forever when we're dead."



Hup, hup, hup.



I don't know but it's been said,

"We'll last forever when we're dead."

I don't know but it's been said,

"We'll rest forever when we're dead."



I don't know but it's been said,

"We'll last forever when we're dead."

I don't know but it's been said,

"We'll rest forever when we're dead."



We'll rest forever when we're dead

Chiron

--------------------------



Have not the strongest

And closest ties been bound so long

I've called upon them

They remind me where I'm from

With deep conviction

I am connected cross the miles

With out them nothing worth relying on



It's been so long since I could say

I've needed anything stronger

We can't give up when we have ties that bind us

If I rely and I know the strength

In those who taught me of the

Power in the ties that bind



When I turn inward

And look for strength within my self

And demonstrations of courage

Are the result

If inspiration is wholly shared

Then more is the gain

Then I will follow

The selfless actions displayed



It's been so long since I could say

I've needed anything stronger

We can't give up when we have ties that bind us

If I rely and I know the strength

In those who taught me of the

Power in the ties that bind



We are made powerful!!

We are made powerful!!



[Acoustic interlude]



[Solo]



It's been so long since I could say

I've needed anything stronger

We can't be wrong when we have ties that bind us

If I rely and I know the strength

In those who taught me of the

Power in the ties that bind



We are made powerful!!

We are made powerful!!



We are made powerful!!

We are made powerful!!

Vendetta

----------------------



I know my uses / I have my pride / But my heart is still untamed

I learned my lessons / I've conquered Death / I go on and I'm unashamed

I'll paint your bones to match my eyes / They're the darkest that I never seen

Until I'm lucid, I can't be told

I know my voices / They tell me to BELIEVE



Another fucking accident out of control / All the attitudes will never change

My Imitations are leading the way

I can't accept that I still don't find this strange



In light of my ability to feel denial

I walk away from everything with just a smile

The Agony of Coming Home has gone away

It's Everywhere / It's Everyone / It's Every Day



ARE YOU READY FOR THE TIME OF YOUR LIFE



I beg your pardon / I'm out of the way / A new conspiracy has taken my place

So over and over, I smell the decay

Believe what you want to - The Cycle Stays The Same



In light of my ability to undermine

I walk away from apathy - I'm feeling fine

The Agony of Cynicism beckons me

It's Everywhere / It's Everyone / It's Everything



ARE YOU READY FOR THE TIME OF YOUR LIFE



LET'S - PRETEND - WE'RE NOT AT THE END

PRETEND - THAT WE HAVE NOTHING LEFT



ARE YOU READY FOR THE TIME OF YOUR LIFE



LET'S - PRETEND - WE'RE NOT AT THE END

PRETEND - THAT WE HAVE NOTHING LEFT

A Nightmare to Remember

------------------------------------

A nightmare to remember

I'd never be the same

What began as laughter

So soon would turn to pain



The sky was clear and frigid

The air was thick and still

Now I'm not one to soon forget

And I bet I never will



Picture for a moment

The perfect irony

A flawless new beginning

Eclipsed by tragedy



The uninvited Stranger

Started dancing on his own

So we said goodbye to the glowing bride

And we made our way back home



Life was so simple then

We were so innocent

Father and mother

Holding each other



Without warning

Out of nowhere

Like a bullet

From the night

Crashing glass

Rubber and steel

Scorching fire

Glowing lights

Screams of terror

Pain and fear

Sounds of sirens

Smoke in my eyes

Sudden stillness

Wrapped in silence

No more screaming

No more cries



Stunned and bewildered

Cold and afraid

Torn up and broken

Frightened and dazed



Stunned and bewildered

Cold and afraid

Torn up and broken

Frightened and dazed



Lying on the table

In this unfamilliar place

I'm greeted by a stranger

A man without a face



He said "Son do you remember?

Do you even know your name?"

Then he shined a light into my eyes

and said "Take this for the pain"



Hopelessly drifting

Bathing in beautiful agony

I am endlessly falling

Lost in this wonderful misery



In peaceful sedation I lay half awake

And thought of the panic inside starts to fade

Hopelessly drifting

Bathing in beautiful agony



"Tell me does this hurt you?"

Said the faceless man

"Can you move all of your fingers?

Can you try your best to stand?"



I asked about the others

"Is everyone okay?"

He told me not to worry

As he turns and looked away



Hopelessly drifting

Bathing in beautiful agony

I am endlessly falling

Lost in this wonderful misery



In peaceful sedation I lay half awake

And thought of the panic inside starts to fade

Hopelessly drifting

Bathing in beautiful agony



Day after day and night after night

Replaying the events, did they ever see the red light?



Over and over

Scene by scene

Like a recurring nightmare

Haunting my dreams



How can you prepare

For what will happen next?

No son should ever have to see

His father's such a mess



It's a miracle he lived

It's a blessing no one died

By the grace of God above

Everyone survived



Life was so simple then

We were so innocent

It will stay with us forever

A nightmare to remember

The Bleeding

---------------------



I remember when all the games began

Remember every little lie and every last goodbye

The promises you broke, words you choked on

And I never walked away, it's still a mystery to me



Well, I'm so empty, I'm better off without you

And you're better off without me

Well, you're so unclean, I'm better off without you

And you're better off without me



The lying, the bleeding, the screaming

Was tearing me apart

The hatred, deceiving, the bleeding

It's over



Paint the mirrors black to forget you

I still picture your face and the way you used to taste

Roses in a glass, dead and wilted

To you this all was nothing, everything to you is nothing



Well, you're so filthy, I'm better off without you

And you're better off without me

Well, I'm so ugly, you're better off without me

I'm better off without



The lying, the bleeding, the screaming

Was tearing me apart

The hatred, the beatings, disaster

It's over



As wicked as you are

You're beautiful to me

You're the darkest burning star

You're my perfect disease



The lying, the bleeding, the screaming

Was tearing me apart

The hatred, the beatings, it's over

Disaster



The lying, the bleeding, the screaming

Was tearing me apart

The hatred, the beatings, it's over

Disaster



It's over now

Lacrymosa

-------------------------------



Out on your own,

Cold and alone again.

Can this be what you really wanted, baby?



Blame it on me,

Set your guilt free.

Nothing can hold you back now.



Now that you're gone,

I feel like myself again.

Grieving the things I can't repair and willing...



To let you blame it on me,

And set your guilt free.

I don't want to hold you back now love.



I can't change who I am.

Not this time, I won't lie to keep you near me.

And in this short life, there's no time to waste on giving up.

My love wasn't enough.



And you can blame it on me,

Just set your guilt free, honey.

I don't want to hold you back now love.

Skyforger

---------------------------



Inside this nonexistence

I know very clearly

The directions, all the points

Of every potential quarter



I forge my wisdom

Into an arc surrounding all

I forge my heartbeat

To a dome all heavens wide



I know the sun and the moon

The names of stars

Their movement and purpose

I mark the place of polaris on these impossible heights



I forge the horizons

I craft them for flowing blood

I forge the places

Precise for silver, precise for gold



In solitude, I measure out

The range of barren lands

I drain unto the nothingness

The intersecting curves

I look at all directions

I look at one clear point

I see them all come together

I see into the heart



This here is my place, it is my work

I was made the maker of the sky



I am the maker of the sky

I am the forger of the arc

Haunted

--------------------------



Your broken so am I,

I'm better off alone!

No one to turn to and,

Nothing to call my own

Outspoken, so am I!

Explosive words that,

Your world wouldnt understand,

Turn away again

You're beaten, so am I!

Ive got a heart of stone!

No medication can cure what has taken hold

You're hurting, so will I,

When I awake and remember,

Why I've been running from your



World, dishonored by your world

Your world, Im haunted by your world



My blood is cold as ice,

Or so I have been told,

Show no emotion,

And it can destroy your soul

Another sacrifice, to a tormentor,

Your world wouldn't understand,

Turn away again!

You're angered, so am I!

A thousand fires burn!

A land of darkness from which I cannot return!

You're aching, so will I

When I awake and discover that,

Ive been damaged by your



World, dishonored by your world

Your world, Im haunted by your world



Never will I be welcome,

Amongst the heartless monsters,

You surround yourself with

Feeding off the pain and misfortune of others,

A maniacal breed of sub-human parasites,

Thrown into a feeding frenzy,

With the smell of fresh blood

Open your eyes and see the creatures for what they are,

A swirling mass of hatred and envy

And do not be naïve enough to think you are unaffected,

The conversion has already begun.



You're frightened, so am I!

A world of demons wait,

Watching our movements and,

Filling my heart with hate,

You're burning, so will I

When I awake and discover,

How I've been ravaged by your,



World, dishonored by your world

Your world, I'm haunted by your world!

Cyanide

---------------



Sleep, and dream of this

Death angel's kiss

Brings final bliss

Completely!



Empty they say

Death, won't you let me stay?

Empty they say

Death, hear me call your name?

Oh, call your name!



Suicide, I've already died

You're just the funeral I've been waiting for

Cyanide, living dead inside

Break this empty shell forevermore



Wait, wait patiently

Your death-black wings

Unfolding sleep

Spreading on me



Empty they say

Death, won't you let me stay?

Empty they say

Death, hear me call your name

Oh, call your name!



Suicide, I've already died

You're just the funeral I've been waiting for

Cyanide, living dead inside

Break this empty shell forevermore



Say, is that rain or are they tears?

That stained your concrete face for years

The crying, weeping, shedding strife

Year after year, life after life



An air of freshly broken ground

A concrete angel lit right down

Upon the grave which swallows fast

It's peace at last

Oh, peace at last



Empty they say

Death, won't you let me stay?

Empty they say

Death, hear me call your name

Oh, call your name



Suicide, I've already died

You're just the funeral I've been waiting for

Cyanide, living dead inside

Break this empty shell forevermore



Forevermore!

Forevermore!

It's just the funeral I've been waiting for!

The End Ahead

--------------------



The end has come too soon

And all is faded

Our promises have died

To lie forgotten

Theyre buried in our eyes

Beneath lifes lies



The greyest silence falls

From all around me

For when my dreams arrived

All of my hope died



I see the end

And will not rise again

I see the end

Falling far away

I see the end

And will not rise again

And in the end

Fate is washed away



I know your eyes

Watch from the autumn skies

Your voice still calls

At night through the vacant halls

The years still live

Somewhere from deep within

The end ahead

Is calling me home again

A Looking In View

------------------------------



hear footsteps creak the floor

the shadows give away

someone outside the door

won't let 'em in





half damaged gears to grind

a run down broke machine

that steals your peace of mind

before you know it's gone

lay doubt, weight





silence burning, hold your tongue

keep a separate soul they'd know





hiding in the dark that's under

pulling to the surface

stumble, fall



a looking in view too long on the outside

desperate plans make sense and alone i....

h-i-i-i-i-i-i-d-e



a looking in view too long on the outside

desperate plans make sense and alone i....

h-i-i-i-i-i-i-d-e





these things I hate in you

also reflect it seems

distortion laced with spite

takes you out of me

late now, laid





hiding in the darkness under

pulling to the surface

somethin' crawling on your skin

discomfort makes you brake and run

stumble, fall



a looking in view too long on the outside

desperate plans make sense and alone i....h-i-i-i-i-i-d-e

a looking in view too long on the outside

desperate plans make sense and alone i....

h-i-i-i-i-i-d-e





it's why you never tell me heaven's on your mind

it's why you never tell me heaven's on your mind

a vengeful mind just reached inside

Glass And the Ghost Children

-------------------------------------



To the center of the earth

Or anywhere God decides

Full of fever pulling forth

We hear our call as all

To the center of the earth

As if written in

DNA is reaching out

To your frequency



I want to live

Don't want to die

I want to live

I want to try

All in prayer

Prayer in all

All are scared

Scared of all



Black rooms are calling

To men in leather coats

White labs are cooking

Up the silver ghost

The glass migrates under

Her translucent skin

And all are spiders

Wonder what we've got us in



All is you

You are all

All with you

You in all

I want to live

I don't want to die

I want to live

I want to try



*spoken interlude*

"So it's all very obtuse, because it's all, like, I don't know. So, like, I started thinking that everything I operate on is based on what I believe God was telling me to do. God could be my intuition or whatever, but I always assume, I always assume that the voice I hear is the voice of God. Then I started thinking, what if I'm insane? So I'm operating on the premise that I'm hearing the voice of God or what I perceive to be God speaking to me or through me, but maybe I'm completely in...so all my...demagoguery in my life about me thinking that my life has importance, my, my...thinking that my life has importance. My--my--my thought of it and the fact that I believe I'm following my intuition which in and of itself may be completely false. So then I started freaking out, thinking--of itself may be completely false. And again this creature that believes he's acting upon heavenly intuition but meanwhile he's totally rampant. And I started thinking maybe this is the cause of all the negativity against--and I started thinking maybe this is the cause of all the negativity against--and I started thinking maybe this is the cause of all the negativity against..." *end of spoken interlude*



So meets the final coda of a vinyl storm

One more cherry cola to lift up her dead arms

A dream of soft focus, sunsets filters through the din

We are losing contact as she dials it in

She can hear glass calling, or is it someone that looks like him?

She eyes TV reflection, and nods a knowing look

She says it doesn't matter, she never liked her looks

I have seen a thousand fractures, I have seen everything

'Cause knowing is its own answer, love something in a book

There's not much left to ponder, not much left to cook



*As she counted the spiders, as they crawled up inside her

(*line repeats 6 more times)

Pathetic

----------------------------------

Somewhere between an excuse and a lie

You found something that you believe

So proud, I guess I can't imagine why

Three cheers for what we used to be



Pathetic. Wasted. Soulless. Compromised.

Sleep-walking the mine field,

Shit talking, it crumbles around you

It come back around



Somewhere between delusion and denial

You'll drown in your own sympathy

Profound, at least you thought so at the time

A ghost of who you used to be



Pathetic. Wasted. Soulless. Compromised

Pathetic. Wasted. Soulless. Compromised.

Sleep-walking the mine field,

Shit talking, it crumbles around you

It come back around



Pathetic. Wasted. Souless. Compromised.

Death blooms

------------------------------------------------



Cold seems crippling lame meander through corridors aroma's thick

with age mark off the day reflections of my life are fading



Pull me out of body don't want it don't want in,

Feeble frail and rotting descending I'm lost in,

A structure that's collapsing don't want it cast into,

Maker take the body don't want it wants me



Past has found its place salvation is no more will god accept my

peace bleached will pardon me reflections of my life are fading

Pull me out of body don't want it don't want in,

Feeble frail and rotting descending I'm lost in,

A structure that's collapsing don't want it cast into,

Maker take the body don't want it wants me



I just want to run fly kites wrestle jump and play

Swim through waves that crash to shore memories in me

cocooned in misery



I'm sick and tired of embracing reflections of past time receive me

or cast me away

...god please take me away

resistance futile suicidal ideas I will crucify my own being satisfy

selfish needs fuck the deities justify my own right to what's waiting

for me



On the other side the time has come lock and load I'm coming I'm

coming I'm coming I'm coming home



Pull me out of body don't want it don't want in,

Pull me out of body don't want it don't want in,

Pull me out of body don't want it don't want in,

Feeble frail and rotting descending I'm lost in,

A structure that's collapsing descending don't want it,

Maker take the body don't want it wants me,

Pull me out of body don't want it don't want in,

Feeble frail and rotting descending I'm lost in,

A structure that's collapsing descending don't want it,

Maker take the body don't want it wants me



I just want to run fly kites wrestle jump and play

Swim through waves that crash to shore memories in me

cocooned in misery

The darkness overcomes soul soars to the other plain

Existence past the door I sail through purgatory's bay



I asked a god for poison cradle me sown to my dreams souls searching

death blossoms where clouds lie over me held in god's hands death

blooming



Dark for fear of failure an inner gloom as wide as an eye and

fermenting roiling hate death grip in my veins unveiling rancid

petals flowering forth foul nectar the space between a blink and a

tear

...death blooms.

Reverie / Harlequin Forest

---------------------------------



Into the trees

Past meadow grounds

And further away from my home

Baying behind me

I hear the hounds

Flock's chasing to find me alone



A trail of sickness

Leading to me

If I am haunted

Then you will see



Searching the darkness

And emptiness

I'm hiding away from the sun

Will never rest

Will never be at ease

All my matter's expired so I run



There falls another

Vapor hands released the blade

Insane regrets at the drop

Instruments of death before me



Lose all to save a little

At your peril it's justified

And dismiss your demons

As death becomes a jest

You are the laughing stock

Of the absinthe minded

Confessions stuck in your mouth

And long gone fevers reappear



Nocturnally helpless

And weak in the light

Depending on a prayer

Pacing deserted roads to find

A seed of hope



They are the trees

Rotten pulp inside and never well

Roots sucking, thieving from my source

Tired boughs reaching for the light



It is all false pretension

Harlequin forest

Awaiting redemption for a lifetime

As they die alone

With no one by their side

Are they forgiven?



Stark determination

Poisoning the soul

Unfettered beast inside

Claiming sovereign control



And now the woods are burning

Tearing life crops asunder

Useless blackened remains

Still pyre smoldering

Angelheart, Ravenheart (Act II: Children Of The Dark Waters)

-------------------------------------------------------------



Die...

Drown...

Fall asleep...

No one will find...



The lives once so innocent,

On the days of the light and joy,

The smiles that melt even ice,

And those eyes made all rejoice



So arrived the man from the shadows,

Riding the beast of the eternal reign,

Sealed their lips by the deepest silence,

Took their lives under the darkest waves



So they drowned...

And they died...

Fell asleep...

And no one found...



At the seventh moon they'll rise,

In the waves of the darkest waters,

By the eight sun they'll die again,

In the dead waters



From the mist they come...

Immortal souls...

The children of the dark waters...

In The Presence Of Enemies, Pt. 1

[I Prelude]



[Instrumental]



[II Resurrection]



I saw a white light

Shining there before me

And walking to it

I waited for the end

A final vision

Promising salvation

A resurrection

For a fallen man



Do you still wait for your God

And the symbol of your faith?



I can free you from this Hell and misery

You should never be ashamed my son

I can give you power beyond anything

Trust me you will be the chosen one



I was forgotten

A body scorned and broken

My soul rejected

Tainted by his blood



Beyond redemption

A sinner not worth saving

Forever taken

From the one I loved



Do I still wait for my God

And a symbol of my faith?



I can lead you down the path and back to life

All I ask is that you worship me

I can help you seek revenge and save yourself

Give you life for all eternity



Servants of the fallen

Fight to pave the way

For their saviour's calling

Of this wicked day



Through a veil of madness

With a vicious blade

One man rises up

Standing in their way



Redemption

Redemption for humanity

Chains Around My Heart (Again)

-----------------------------------------



All of these things I try to do

all of my rage I aim at you

sometimes my eyes go wild and I feel like I'm lost in time

and sometimes I raise my head and look to the sky for consolation



for all the love I give, I get nothing

for all the love I show, you get colder



and I spend all of my time again with you

and I have chains around my heart again cause of you

you've taken all I've known with you for sure

looking down at you again in fear



I lose my mind, escape and try to run

It turns my heart into a ball of fire

feels like I'm getting a fit. nothing's moving, even if I run

don't look at my mirror, it's turning blacker by the hour.
