I kneel to you I bow to you faithfully I bid you long farewell but spit out my name, you will come yield to me I yield to you
You lay as though dead I did dance for the devil but judge me not for into the midst of the fire I suffer now
Scorching pain burning me for my repentance, my deceive an orgy full of spite gliding all through your heart whatever the sin is I love you yet
2. Truly A Suffering
When I weep on your shoulder you caress me with the warmest embrace Tears are not a comfort but truly a great suffering
Scarring of the soul a reminder of the bitterness, gained through the years and years in despair What gift pays grieving but the loss of sadness for a moment
Ignorance of children - admirable they know not grief The reminder of sadness is still grinding Still harvesting delight
A fragile bird he cannot fly without his wings You cut them deeply when you were my God and Gods always fail you
3. The Repentant
See the sun you left dawning into the black sea into me In my heart, this painful sea a sea of spite, all that is inside -set me free!
For evermore, bathing in your might Flowing down my own streams of pityness
Can anyone save me from myself Somebody hear me, somebody heal me
If you feel in your heart You will know that my pride is all I have If you look in this heart you will know all that's left is but disgrace
I must be all forgiven For I know not my sins
Do not wear this weary veil around you to drag yourself down For you are my own self, nothing else but the true tempter
4. The Stings I Carry
Summon the winds and swear If ever my God you were Like silver in the morning-fields I'd give my life for you
I do not exist I am but two eyes and a shadow I would make you see If I had the courage
Dance your celestial witch-dance gracious and hurtful
Weep like the night-clad sky a crumbled leaf in dirt I lie For slumbers sweet embrace I try and in my dream that I may die
5. When Light Will Dawn
Time to depart and breaking the seal Pour red wine and the softest of lips Oh, wish me well and I go
Tower your strength, an ascendance to hell Cut me deep with your ignorance and leave me be
I scorn my pityful self do not cherish my mistakes
Your fury rules at hand within when light will dawn and sun will fade Darker than the darkest night what burning lust you radiate
Carry me, into the fields In roses lay, Souls are now eternal sealed
From my cup, you quenched your thirst, I'm bathing in misery, you gave your first
6. In Fields Of Pestilent Grief
[instrumental]
7. Facing Failure
Now the snow just as might lay cloaking all the remains shrouding of all the wounds and sores of losses and fatigue with pure, white amnesia
The shrieking ruin of a hard winter's kiss takes forever more summers to mend Rather it lay cold and dead than revealed in all it's necrotic splendour
In days of revolt I too would carry a torch and swing at my arrows But time is ruthless and heals nothing
For the sun uncovers by it's taunting rays are like swords to lies life and dreams, however nightmarish (are built upon)
8. What Could Have Been
Bringer of rain, mother of heaven's tears 'least you hide my own, least you hide I swear you touched my heart A thousand aeons worth of hopelessness... Leaves me freezing Where you once burnt, where you once burnt
More like two lost children seeking shelter in each others Nothing unpure, to regret, 'tis all we share now Averting eyes and stone silence chases not the winter night, but summons storms
Why all the distance now? We were close, and our souls touched If only for this very moment warmth was in our hands
9. Vile Are The Pains
Grow strong and learn to fly Do not for an instant consider the circling death above nor the slithering one below
Soar and bask in your youth Many and vile are the pains on your path
Blacksmith of fortune and fate, a cunning trickster, brings down the hammer with unexeeded might Mad and blind (Will you be crushed?)
Better not ponder Follow the footprints Do not worry, you will always be caught if you fall... (...won't you?)
Half-chance is life and though the arrows missed you so far, your body remembers how to squirm, and your heart how to bleed
