1. CALL FORTH MY SORROW

As I sit here lost to ages
Calling forth the fire
Of a soul that mourns the loss of all
I felt for you
The passing years have shown me
The price of ire
When placed in time alongside
A withered, mirrored view

Cette fierté a cosi ma chute
Pardonne moi, mon amour

The pride I felt has left me broken
The course of Atlas, now in motion
I thought the fates had spoken
And as the path is locked in chains
I am what remains
And now I’ve nothing left

Winter has won the seasons
And holds tomorrow
With an iron fist she rules
The heart I thought I knew
In a final plea for mercy
I call forth my sorrow
To be held in rest until the sun
returns anew

Cette fierté a cosi ma chute
Pardonne moi, mon amour

The pride I felt has left me broken
The course of Atlas, now in motion

I thought the fates had spoken
And as the path is locked in chains
I am what remains
And now I’ve nothing left

There’s no forgiveness in this state
And I’ll carve my sorrow in its place

The fault in cause
And the stain of it all
Holds me to these words, in scrawls

Through the eye of the wasteland
The curse is just
For in this loss I froze to fall

Cette fierté a cosi ma chute
Pardonne moi, mon amour

The pride I felt has left me broken
The course of Atlas, now in motion
I thought the fates had spoken
And as the path is locked in chains
I am what remains

The longing faith I had, forsaken
To hold in quiet desperation
My sorrow left awakened
And though the path is locked in chains
I am what remains
And Now I’ve nothing left


2. A THOUSAND WINTER RAINS

Sun sets by a shadowed slate
And still I’m waiting
For the sign you vowed to leave behind

The storm has forced my heart to hold
The weight of a thousand winter rains

I never thought I’d live to lose you
Now all I have are memories
For heaven can’t take a soul unfree

The curse of what it meant to love you
Holds me under how it feels
To breathe beneath the loss
Of something real

Hope falls to the cloak of eve
And still I’m watching
Covered by the stars we used to share

The winds have forced my touch to search
For nothingness, so I remain

I never thought I’d live to lose you
Now all I have are memories
For heaven can’t take a soul unfree

The curse of what it meant to love you
Holds me under how it feels
To breathe beneath the loss
Of something real

Before too long
My life will be torn to respond
All that’s left are ghosts
Help me reach your prayer, my love

Death leaves hope in its wake
Let me pass with the rise of the hour

Let me pass with the rise of the hour

The storm has forced my heart to hold
The weight of a thousand winter rains

I never thought I’d live to lose you
Now all I have are memories
For heaven can’t take a soul unfree
(Always searching on)

The curse of what it meant to love you
Holds me under how it feels
To breathe beneath the loss
Of something real

To breathe beneath the loss
Of something real

To breathe beneath the loss
Of something real


3. THORNS

A feathered hope
And a loving kiss
Break waves upon the shore
Like the rose that blooms in harmony
With its tangled, prying thorns

If I had felt that I would be the one to fall
I’d taper off our fantasies
Like diamonds turned to coal

And the road is now paved in heartache
The wound still bears your name
How could you lie to me?
I thought you’d die for me
Before the pages closed

The dying cold of a summer’s love
Once warm within my veins
Carries through its poison
As it makes its way into my heart

Though my soul still yearns
For what it knows to be untrue
I need to ‘void the path
That tries to lead me back to you

And the road is now paved in heartache
The wound still bears your name
How could you lie to me?
I thought you’d die for me
Before the pages closed

Now I’m left with no trail to follow
The hole in my heart left hollow
With no place to rest
In a heartless chest
That holds my sorrow closed

The light grows dim
Through hazy eyes and a
calloused breath
I’m lost within your sin

But time roles on
With a wicked smile
It passes through the words
I thought we spoke

And the road is now paved in heartache
The wound still bears your name
How could you lie to me?
I thought you’d die for me
Before the pages closed

Now I’m left with no trail to follow
The hole in my heart left hollow
With no place to rest
In a heartless chest
That holds my sorrow closed

And the road is now paved in heartache
(Paved in heartache)
And the road is now paved in heartache
(Paved in heartache)


4. LEADING THE LYRE

There’s a shadow that crawls
Over all these ailing scars of mine
And there’s a volume of letters here
by my side
There’s a method to my defeat
Looking through the eyes of doom
I can’t escape the phantom in the room

All I ever wanted
Was everything you are, my love
(And I will be there for you)
Desire in its right
It burns like a falling star
(And I burn for all you are)

Had I fortune enough to bear
To relieve a kiss in tune
I’d part the seas in a tidal wave for you

All I ever wanted
Was everything you are, my love
(And I will be there for you)
Desire in its right, it burns like a falling star
(And I burn for all you are)

Caught within the fire
Of everything you are, my love
(And I will be there for you)
Divine within a light that carries oh so far
(Yeah you burn like a falling star)

Yeah you burn like a falling star
And it’s everything you are

If there’s but a chance to guide your way
Only time will tell
Time will tell like the lyre yearns to lead

The heartbeat lost in tune
For it all comes back to you

All I ever wanted
Was everything you are, my love
(And I will be there for you)
Desire in its right, it burns like a falling star
(And I burn for all you are)

Caught within the fire
Of everything you are, my love
(And I will be there for you)
Divine within a light that carries oh so far
(Yeah you burn like a falling star)
And I burn for all you are


5. WHISPERS OF FORGIVENESS

Her voice calls out
Across the velvet lake of time again
She longs for the gentle whisper
of forgiveness
And the echoes of the night subside
And give way to the false hope
of foreign whispers

Well I know
I may love you again one day
To follow
The dream of another life and way

A lonely velvet plea calls out
From underneath the wind
And in his heart he longs for her forgiveness
And in this loss he fades to black
A shadow in the spirit of her whispers

Well I know
I may love you again one day
To follow
The dream of another life and way

Well I know
(I know)
I may love you again one day
To follow
(Follow)
The dream of another life and way

And I may love you again
Would you let me love you then?


6. SHADOW'S THRONE

Though I feel the need to write
There’s a thought I can’t seem to find
And it feels like
I’m lost in time

Another empty page
Entranced in nothing but my shame
And it feels like
This will never leave

You will never know the weight within
The weight within my heart
As I’m lead to live
The lie held in these scars

You will never feel the loss I bear
The loss I bear is calling me
Calling me to where I found
The strength to leave you

Will I ever leave this place?
Why am I the one in shade?
Would you plead, like I had
If you could never leave?

You will never know the weight within
The weight within my heart
As I’m lead to live
The lie held in these scars

You will never feel the loss I bear
The loss I bear is calling me

Calling me to where I found
The strength to leave you

All is fair in love and war
But how could you be taught
What’s right from wrong?

When it’s all you’ve ever known
And ever shown
Will you grow to feel the weight
Of the shadow’s throne?

You will never know the weight within
The weight within my heart
As I’m lead to live
The lie held in these scars

You will never feel the loss I bear
The loss I bear is calling me
Calling me to where I found the strength
To leave you

You will never know the weight within
The weight within my heart
As I’m lead to live
The lie held in these scars
(Lie held in these scars)

You will never feel the loss I bear
The loss I bear is calling me
Calling me to where I found the strength
To leave you


7. IMMORTAL

Caught within my silence
I know we are not to blame
Holding on to what we feel
Is closer to the flame
And though I can’t deny
The tension in my heart
Pieces fall together
In the shape of lover’s art

Immortal - My love for you
(On and on, on and on, on and on)
Immortal - My love for you
(On and on, on and on, on and on)
Immortal
The love I hold in my heart, baby
It’s all for you
It’s all for you

Time’s denied its power
When your worship takes its place
Love entwines in harmony
With the warmth of tethered grace
As it casts a dire hand
In want of sympathy
No shadow falls upon the touch
Of what you mean to me

Immortal - My love for you
(On and on, on and on, on and on)
Immortal - My love for you
(On and on, on and on, on and on)

Immortal
The love I hold in my heart, baby
It’s all for you (It’s all for you)
It’s all for you (It’s all for you)

Far to fall
You’ve further to wait
When you fall from the gates, my love
Come to fall
When it’s felt in your soul
And you’re wrapped in the arms of it all

Immortal - My love for you
(On and on, on and on, on and on)
Immortal - My love for you
(On and on, on and on, on and on)
Immortal
The love I hold in my heart, baby
It’s all for you (It’s all for you)
It’s all for you
(Let me hold you in my heart)

Immortal - My love for you
(Immortal is my love for you)
Immortal - My love for you
(Immortal is my love for you)
Immortal
The love I hold in my heart, baby
It’s all for you (It’s all for you)
It’s all for you (It’s all for you)


8. BURNING SHIPS

Here we are
It’s been far too long
(Been far too long)
I found you here, but you’re too far gone

I am falling for you now and always
On burning ships we’ll always drown
(Always drown)

Here we are
Have you seen my heart?
(Have you seen my heart?)
It’s pretty clear
We were lost from the start

I am falling for you now and always
On burning ships we’ll always drown
(Always Drown)

I’m still falling for you now and always
On burning ships we’ll always drown

I’m still falling for you now
Now
On burning ships we’ll always drown

Always drown
And I’m still falling for you now
Now
On burning ships we’ll always drown

And I’m still falling for you now
Now
On burning ships we’ll always drown


9. THE HOPING HEART

Love is a battlefield
Haunted by those it left behind
And love is a cruel device
(Is a cruel device)
Poisoning my mind

Marred in sorrow

My heart lies hoping in its cage
Could you be the one I’m waiting for
To free it from its chains?

My heart lies hoping in its cage
Would tomorrow be worth fighting for
In light of another day?

Love is a ray of light
Warming those who fall within its sight
To love is to long for time
(Is to long for time)
With those who’s souls align

Marred in sorrow
Marred in sorrow

My heart lies hoping in its cage
Could you be the one I’m waiting for
To free it from its chains?

My heart lies hoping in its cage
Would tomorrow be worth fighting for
In light of another day?

Could you be the one I’m waiting for?
Always waiting

Taken by your love and affection
All I want to do
Is break free from the questions
What would it feel like
To have and to hold you?
What would it feel like
To love and adore you?

My heart lies hoping in its cage
Could you be the one I’m waiting for
To free it from its chains?

My heart lies hoping in its cage
Would tomorrow be worth fighting for
In light of another day?


10. A VISION IN PASSING

As she wades through rivers of gold
Hair abound in flowers and lace
Her brow caught the weight of her thoughts
As the sun fled the day
And the dark crept in from the bay
Reaching through the beat of her heart
She held her breath in her hands
And turned to say

All I’ve loved has abandoned me
Cast aside with no air to breathe
Believed to be
Unloved in this sweet agony

And the warmth took its leave of her wings
As the light bid a mourning farewell
The words turned to ash on her tongue
As her thoughts dispelled
And the colours once bright in her eyes
Held her fast as they started to fade
She held her breath in her hands
And turned to say

All I’ve loved has abandoned me
Cast aside with no air to breathe
Believed to be
Unloved in this sweet agony
All I’ve loved has abandoned me
(Abandoned me)
Cast aside with no air to breathe
(And I believe)

Believed
(Believed)
To be
(To be)
Unloved in this sweet agony

There’s no end
How can I live on?

There’s no end
(There’s no) light in the dark
To deceive the defeat in my heart
All I’ve felt since your loss is this pain

How can I live on?
(How can I) live passed your reign
When there’s no one to love?
Oh the strings of my heart
How they long to be played

Without you
You were the one
To hold me through the night
Whilst the wind clawed the trees
And the rain failed to die

All I have is gone
(All I) have is my pain
And this terrible rage
That grows strong in its passion
With each passing day
