1. THE LEAVING SONG PT II

Don't waste your touch, you won't feel anything
Or were you sent to save me?
I've thought too much, you won't find anything...
Worthy of redeeming

Yo he estado aqui muchas veces antes y regreso

To... break down, and cease all feeling
Burn now, what once was breathing
Reach out, and you may take my heart away

Imperfect cry, and scream in ecstasy
So what befalls the flawless?
Look what I've built, it shines so beautifully
Now watch as it destroys me

Y regreso aqui otra vez y comienzo

To... break down, and cease all feeling
Burn now, what once was breathing
Reach out, and you may take my heart away

Break down, and cease all feeling
Burn now, what once was breathing
Reach out, and you may take my heart away

I left it all behind, and never said goodbye
I left it all behind, and never said goodbye
I left it all behind, and never said goodbye
I left it all to die

I saw its birth, I watched it grow
I felt it change me
I took the life, I ate it slow
Now it consumes me

I... break down, and cease all feeling
Burn now, what once was breathing
Reach out, and you may take my heart away

Break down, and cease all feeling
Burn now, what once was breathing
Reach out, and you may take my heart away
... Heart away


2. THE GREAT DISAPPOINTMENT (DEMO VERSION)

I can remember, a place I used to go.
Crysanthemums of White, they seemed so beautiful.
I can remember, searched for the Amaranth.
I'd shut my eyes, to see.

Oh how I smiled then, so near the cherrished ones.
I knew they would appear, saw not a single one.
Oh how I smiled then, waiting so patiently.
I'd make a wish, and bleed.

While I waited,
I was wasting away.
While I waited,
I was wasting away.

I can remember, dremt them so vividly.
Soft creatures draped in white, light kisses gracing me.
I can remember, when I first realized,
dreams were the only place, to see them.

While I waited,
I was wasting away.
While I waited,
I was wasting away.
While I waited,
I was wasting away,
hope was wasting away,
faith was wasting away,
I was wasting away.

Never never wanted this, always wanted to believe, never never wanted this.
(I will not live on)
Never never wanted this, from the start i'd been decieved, never never wanted this.
(I will not live on)
Never never wanted this, always wanted to believe, never never wanted this all.
Never ever wanted this, from the start i'd been decieved, never never wanted this all.

Inside a crumbling effigy.
(But you promised)
So died all innocence.
(But you promised)
Me.

While I waited,
I was wasting away.
While I waited,
I was wasting away.
While I waited,
I was wasting away,
hope was wasting away,
faith was wasting away,
I was wasting away.


3. PAPER AIRPLANES (MAKESHIFT WINGS) (DEMO VERSION)

Raise high, monolithic, statues so fragile as they fall.
(I am, ever enthralled)
Gaze, lie and smirk in time, your arrogance will suit you well.
('Till fashion is dispelled)

As waves of plastic fame go out of fashion,
You're going out, going out forever unknown.
These waves of plastic fame go out of fashion.
(These waves of plastic fame are drying up and I smile)
You're going out, going out forever unknown
(Because you're dying to become forever unknown, unknown)

From above a rain of ashes descends
Anathema I will remain, forever will remain
From below, in my seclusion
Look up to the sky to see paper wings and watch them burn

Without habitation, you'll never find a soul inside
No life, but nothing's died
No lights, but quite the show (Just as long as no one ever knows
All motion is pantomime)

As waves of plastic fame go out of fashion
You're going out, going out forever unknown
These waves of plastic fame go out of fashion
(These waves of plastic fame are drying up and I smile)
You're going out, going out forever unknown
(Because you're dying to become forever unknown, unknown)

From above a rain of ashes descends
Anathema I will remain, forever will remain
From below, in my seclusion
Look up to the sky to see paper wings and watch them burn

Dancing in the rain of descending ash
Dancing on your grave, I'll see you all falling
Dancing in the rain of descending ash
Dancing in your dust, I'll see you all falling
I'd stop it, had you a heart (your heart)
I'd stop it, had you a heart (your heart)

From above a rain of ashes descends
Anathema I will remain, forever will remain
From below, in my seclusion
Look up to the sky to see paper wings and watch them burn

From above a rain of ashes descends
Anathema I will remain, forever will remain
From below, in my seclusion
Look up to the sky to see paper wings and watch them burn
