1. INTO THE VIVID CHERISHING

I shape the shadows that lament your final sighs
I hear their words again, causing all my shameless cries

Stricken down by inner bane, my words are overcome
Though speak to me softly…my senses are numb
If I had the words to say I'd take away this time
Be with me kindly this one last night

We belong to different times
Where memories combine
(And) Into the Vivid Cherishing
I'll bless your life to mine

And now I watch as the final curtains fall
Before your fading hazel auras
And I can't help but to expel a breath in prayer
To see them shine again

Timelessly captured in memory's sigh
The way that this moment is holding your life
I am as rain to the days passing shine
Speak to me darling this one last time

We belong to different times
Where memories combine
(And) Into the Vivid Cherishing
I'll bless your life to mine

I have no voice and I must scream -

Waiting for the words to come so they might bring a moment
Just a moment of the past to ease our quiet closing

If I had the words to say, I'd speak of a million laughters
I'd speak of life and times together, to join again Hereafter

Sometimes at the mornings rise
I forget you're gone
But when I realize the
Sorrow takes my soul again

We belong to different times
Where memories combine
(And) Into the Vivid Cherishing
I'll bless your life to mine

We belong to different times
Two different worlds
Into the Vivid Cherishing
Where all your words are mine


2. HOLY MOTHER

Step 1: Misery of Submission
Inhale the fabric of the gods
To live their dreams
Walk the powdered line
Inspire death with a single breath

Blasphemy and blood mix
Like a toxic kiss, such familiar bliss
Her face was freed from my arm
Elated in vermilion charm

Look down upon salvation
Stare down at what is killing me
In one euphoric moment
I'm blessed by the touch of faith

Holy Mother, I'll give my life to bleed you
Holy Mother, just one more rush to see you forever

Step 2: The Chemical Christian
Leaning to a new light in my chemical conversion
I spill her face again to feel that sweet perversion
Take me with carols and make my heart silent
Show me a promise to stir with the timeless

Look down upon salvation
Stare down at what is killing me
In one euphoric moment
I'm touched by the face of faith


3. SUDDEN FAITH PARTS I + II

I press the temple of your name
With folded hands and bended shame
And every begging thought's obscured and cursed into the Heavens

All my life spent in doubt
To bleed my freedom out
All this time spent in vain
In search of reasons

Sanctify my soul, satisfy my needs, numb my beliefs
Cast this servant down
Whose last words ring in righteous sound

Drifting through a pale life
Owing down the sacred
Until I'm caught between the black and gray
Do I turn forsaken

Take my hands away from me
To ungrasp heresy
Bless my cries with guilt and shame
For spiritual treason

Sanctify my soul, satisfy my needs, numb my beliefs,
Cast this servant down, whose last words ring in righteous Sound

Where is your god tonight?

In my hour of self inflicted fate
I'll trade my words for a touch of sudden faith
(Your hope, your trust, your life dies with me)

(Your will, your dreams, your light dies with me)

Part 2
Lay your eyes upon me child
So you might feel the touch of seasons
Gently weep under my adoring stars
Holding still as winds unite


But dare not ask from the divine
To share a single sign

Your hope
Your will
Your dreams
Your light

They rest in my hands


4. THE ILLUMINATION MASK

Upon a rock I find my stance
With vain image, my mind in trance
I gaze down cross the florid vales
To lift myself on timbered gales
So I sweep down to drink of my wake
In the languid glassy stream
Which flows to the grand blue lake,
where I swim to inner theme

So easily closed
My inner faces exposed
Frames of changes hold slow
To fear me, to judge me, to know

Throwing my unity to the wind
I step through aeons in an effort to transend
Searching the lines beyond all I have to ask
I gently fly my illumination mask

Down past the arbered way
My diverse charismas writhe
In antimasque they sway
To visualize my different sides
In a world of appearances I seperate myself
To find my youth, I unvail truth and drink of innocense

So easy to hide
True emotions divide
Frames of changes hold slow
To fear me, to judge me, to know

Throwing my unity to the wind
I step through aeons in an effort to transend
Searching the lines beyond all I have to ask
I finally fly my illumination mask

Throwing my unity to the wind
I step through aeons in an effort to transend
Searching the lines beyond all I have to ask
I lay to waste my Illumination Mask
