- As Shadows Asway the Soul
Thy kingdom has been lost under the sword
The trials of my defeat have cast me away
The dark seas of despair now hold my shame
As thy tomb is sealed the waters flood with grief
As thy tomb is sealed the waters flood with grief
With each passing tide the sadness destroys my faith
I foresee the dawn just beyond the barren plains
- Images Within the Tides of Tranquillity
The Skies of dark gray have vanished from my view
The touch of her warm embrace has left many tears
To be deprived is to remember the pain of one
This winter of black is the harbinger of my fear
With each passing day my love for life withers away
The face of joy I once wore is now only a dream
- On Watchers from Towers Above
O'er shores of silence
Beyond the sands
Of time and hallowed ways
I now know the truth
O' impious ones of 'God'
Your ways are denial
For the fears of life
- When Sunlight Fades
Behold the day That has fallen dark
Lament the passing of youth and all it's joys
Behold the cross Ideas he has hidden behind
Witness his contempt for his existence and his 'God'
When will the sunlight fade
Unleashing death to resolve his pain
For no longer can he suffer
- Beautiful Thorns to Caress the Girl
All fades from me
I grasp at nothing
All is dead and gone
Cobwebs cover me
My heart's so empty
Take away the pain
- Bleak Thorn Laurels
They bleed their palms across thy face
They are the tears I wish to shed
Yet only tears of red shall fall
On this night, on your grave
The scent of dried flowers, rest upon the palls
As night graces rose garlands black
For bleak laurels of dead lilies and thorns
- By the Brilliance of Candlelight
In the day, in the night
To all, to each thy sadness
For thy words, for thy pain
Shall speak for all time
For snakes of silver throat lie in wait for thee
As I sing a death hushed dirge of suffering, shining gray
- 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...
- Darkness in the Elegy Season
The years will fall like rain, Awash in the tears you cry
Yet weep not for thee my love, For I have chosen this path
For I have seen the blackest of days, and I have seen the tear you cry
Yet mourn not for me thy love
For the life was nothing but a dream
In the darkness of the elegy season
I shell return with the winter winds
- Eve of the Emerald Sun
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 was no frozen in glass
- Tears For The Raven Muse
I have lost all on fields of black remorse
As scarlet tears drowned thy will and thy hope
Fading with the sun were thy precious dreams
Yet still her sweet face was with thee as I died
She is the raven that kisses the wind
And echoes the fears of man
She is a vision of subtle melody
- The Bleeding Throne
You have fallen from my grace,
Eyes sewn, lips burned
I drowned in a pool
Of broken, red mirrors
When you destroyed
My vision, my hope
I cried for you
I cried forever
- To Covet the Dancing Wind
[the angel speaks]
"The wind is the carriage from which I arrive
And the storm's 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
