1)Bluebeard's Chamber At last my life has been evil And I have shown cruelty To those who were in need of succour. The poor called to me and I did not hearken And my ears were closed To the cries of the afflicted. And so did I. To those who lacked help I have been bitter The inheritance of the fatherless I did take unto myself. He who came for water went away thirsting And the outlawed men I betrayed before dawn. And so did I. I wounded the hands that fed me The breasts that gave me suck I did despise. The enemy who spared me I snared in an ambush and sold for a price. I am the source of rebellion And with evil I requite good And with wrongdoing kindness. To my sins I build seven altars My Idols aren't of gold nor of silver But of flesh that dies. ----------------------------------- 2)Wolves Among Sheep When the roses are torn from their branches And the blooms hide their beauty in shame White lilies run dry without water And freeze under moons on the wane. When the fruits from the wombs of their mothers Torn lifeless in autumn's cold haze With eyes already sealed before the first view Would break through the dawn like a blaze. Behold - I will send you As sheep in the midst of wolves. Beware - of false prophets Who look like sheep but are ravenous wolves. Like wolves among sheep. Then the heavens we chase lie in ashes And our hearts are of poison and lead Then sweet dreams that once slumbered in clover Become hags in the crypts of the dead. And far east an angel is weeping In midnight's gruesome dusky arm And behind these veils of black velvet Another maiden is loosing her charm. -------------------------------- 3)Breathe My Sorrow Whelmed in the blackest of shadows In sombre and beautiful gloom And the spectral shapes that surround me Convey ideas of sorrow and gloom. Worn the deep tint of the cypress That hangs down its branches at night I buried myself in the waters The depths of the descending night. O wander in that happy valley Where my flowers still hide their beauty in fear Cause every single note Of your summer lullaby Shall breathe my sorrow And embalm this frozen heart. A rose grew in the enchanted garden We lived in and revel no more All beauty sleeps in our darkness And lightens this burden no more. The name of the rose is "redemption" Abloom on a cold nameless grave The name of the garden is "silence" And sleep covers my silent grave. ----------------------------- 4)From Frozen Skies She died. And he fell into slumber Or the vast realms of revery - Where the great springs they had together Would last for all eternity. She died. It was in cold December With frozen flowers on her hair - They say she couldn't stand the winter That's when she drowned within despair. Take my hand - for the night is dark and rain falls down from frozen skies. Keep me warm - for the storms are cold That cast right down from frozen skies. From frozen skies. And now the waters of the river They flow not onward to the sea - Still they sigh one unto the other In a strange tongue of misery. And now they sit, locked in each other's Embrace aside the river's bed - And when he looks into the waters He sometimes wishes he were dead. ---------------------------------- 5)Raven Rosary Love - she says Is like a gruesome hunger And the wind strays Gently through her hair. And like a famine Raging faster All across the idle land Her bitter poison takes me down. Love - she says Is like a devastating Storm that breaks forth From broken chests. And like a beast She hunts his prey Here in the garden of the dead Her bitter poison takes me down. Sweep through the marble halls of terror And spell my raven rosary From the celestial halls of horror Echoes the sound of agony. Love - she says Is like a fatal gamble And you're the one who ever fails Although you dealt the cards. And like a knife She cuts through ardent breasts And gather the shadows o'er your heart Her bitter poison takes me down. ---------------------------------- 6)The Tempest Behold, she is coming with the clouds And going with the wind. She tears down the walls of heaven And brings us maladies. All the tribes of the earth kneel before her And speak her name with grace. She haunts the earthly palace And takes us in her arms. I have the keys of life and death. I am the monarch of the seven stars. I scatter the storms all over the world. I bring the sun into your hearts. Behold, she is coming like a thief With a mouth full of honey & blood. She casts down the clouds of sorrow The wicked fall under her strength. She will give freely to him who is thirsty from the spring of the water of life. Like a tree planted by the streams of water That brings forth its fruits of joy. The skies - are ashen and cold The nights have unfold The wings of the plagues. So call - the sweet memories And save the green leaves From the grip of the cold. Whose leaf also does not wither. Whatever she does shall prosper. --------------------------------------------- 7)Raise Of Cain Cast into the dust but still I will withstand Into the azure I strike my filthy hand Raised my voice against the rules that brought me pain Now I kneel before the altar of the slain. Drown my house in torment now I live in fear Fall from grace to shed another unseen tear Father turn your head and hide your face in shame See the impaled brother slain before you came. But you must allow - my own world to stand My hut you didn't build - my spine you didn't bend When I was a child - I didn't know it in from out I turned my confused eyes - towards the blackened cloud. Who helped me against the pride of the titans? Who rescued me from slavery and death? It was you, my sacred glowing heart So glow with ardent, with youthful distress. In the fields, Cain rose against Abel And slew him softly from behind. And with his brother's blood The first Rebellion has burst out To tear the thrones of tyranny in sky. ----------------------------------------- 8)Moonfleet Could I remount the river of my years To the first fountain of our smiles and tears I would not trace again its streams of hours Between its outworn banks of withered flowers. I - am the hour of darkness I - am the heart of the frozen I - am the bringer of coldness I - am the wound of the chosen. Where I would walk in spirit and behold Our elements resolved to things untold And fathom hidden wonders and explore The essence of great bosoms now no more. What is death - a quiet of the heart The whole of that - of which we are a part For life is but a vision - what I see For all which lives - alone is life to me. Could I remount the river of my years To the first fountain of our smiles and tears Where I would walk in spirit and behold Our elements resolved to things untold. lyrics added by MetalAngel - Modify this lyrics
