1. UNDER BROODING SKIES

(Instrumental)


2. EMBRACE THE SPIRIT

As we stare into the darkened sky
And watch her spread its wings.
Hovering upward in perfection like mating clouds entwined.
The light finally starts to
Fade away as the grey clouds beckon their destiny.
Their desolate souls of solitude,
They will never shed faith again.

Treacherous mountains of eternity holds
A single soul of infinity.
Guided by the scenes of serenity and
Mystic loneliness of ecstasy.

I close my eyes... "You close your eyes."
I feel your breath... "You feel my breath."

You close your eyes... "I close my eyes."
You beg for death... "I beg for death."

"Awakened, this beauty is my corpse.
A precious melody shackled in chains.
Left withered in blanked out memories.
You embrace the spirit to feel my pain."

Forever touched by the fading light as
Black tears begin to stream down her face.
She comforts me with her empty caress.
There's no escaping from this place.


3. PANDORA'S BOX

The anticipation lurks in our minds.
Will this pleasure turn into pain?
This beauty lies scarred for all eternity
Our lives will never be the same.

So full of torture and endless pain
Risen in the bleak air fulfilling my sight
These haunting spirits releasing agony
Is there a chance we will ever see the light?

Enchanted suffering. We all pay the cost.
We're doomed to die. All our hope is lost.

A life shattered thru mystery and suspense
Abrasive sorrow and corrupted despair.
It steals your life and descrates your soul
And leaves you blind in abrupt desires.
You shall suffer in regards to all of this
Basking in the dark light of death.
To unlock the ghosts branded in your mind
You gasp to take your final breath.
And burn the flames in your rotting soul
Turn your decaying mind to ash.
It's Pandora's secret born to die
Our hopes and dreams forever smashed.
All hope lies... vanished into persistence
Everything dies... it's all so consistent.

"Hope has destroyed our fragile caress
Branded for eternity's infinite distress."

"Tremble with delight......
Images of fear......
Tremble with chaos......
Images are clear......
Tremble with emotion......
Her image appears."

Dissipated into her imagination
Chills of the wicked evil flesh.
Captivity drenched from ages of solitude
Nothingness endowed. The plague is caressed.


4. PERPENDICULAR STRAIN

Stained glass shatters from your elusive mind.
Fractured dreams risen in astral lights.

Dark shadows and silhouettes hide in our dawn.
Arise in the wake of your own apocalypse.

Your hollow stare.
Burrowing tunnels of luring ecstasy.
It grinds malediction in stagnant air.
Your hollow eyes.
Digging graves of luring ecstasy.
It pulsates with a halo of morbid pleasure.

The mirror has lied to me again.
Progressive animosity in harmony.

The steep angles of your rotting flesh
An imitation of this doppleganger.
A clone of snapping necks
A perplexity of your own truth.
She's disguised as my nightmare
Embedded in your straining mind.
This is where my prayers lie
Unanswered and always reversed.

"Hollowness. Ecstasy. Malediction. Our fantasy.
Hollowness. Digging graves. Morbid pleasure. Pulsating."


5. LAMENTATION

Blessed in contempt and rise within our mind.
Never stop to wonder. Enchantment minimized.
"Momentary time... Immortal soul."

Immitation of dreams focused on prayer.
Paralyzed in bliss. Content despair.
"Fragments of time... This mortal coil."

"These iron chains molest this tortured soul
As seasons of my memory remain so dark
Your eyes shall witness another cold night
I find it less strange to believe.
Now time has appeared so stagnant
Degrees of bleach drained upon immortal souls
The frozen stare in me reveals your memory
To forever stay young and never grow old."

The rays of the sun once gave beauty
In the reflectons of her smile
My eyes have bled in tears for her
As memories shut down in denial.
The heaven below the hell above
Obscurities saturate the reversed hue.
A journey of life forged upside down
Speculating chronicles, I construe.

"Look inside and tell me what you find
Reveal the inner thoughts drained from time.
Look inside and tell me what you find
Reveal the inner thoughts drained from my mind."

Do you believe?
What you see?
Is it a dream?
It's haunting me! "It's haunting me!"

Will you believe?
What we have seen?
It is a dream.
It's haunting me! "It's haunting me!"

Do you believe?
What you see?
This is my dream.
It's haunting me! "It's haunting me!"

I will believe.
What we see.
This is our dream.
It's haunting me! "It's haunting me!"


6. DARK SEASONS OF SORROW

I suffer in the streams of your consciousness
A derailed reality in your abandonment.
To forever stay in the ultimate comatose
Withered away. There's no escape.

Inflict me with your precious pain
As you leave me so cold and hollow.
I love this beautiful suffering that creates
Our dark seasons of sorrow.

A drowning misery of dried blood
Stained on her dress, this elusive mind.
Shatter the thoughts, our seeds of distraught
To escape the grave reflecting from despair.

Inflict me with your precious pain
As you leave me so cold and hollow.
Embrace this beautiful suffering that creates
Our dark seasons of sorrow.

"Serenity has laid us to rest
Sorrow devours my soul.
Leaving me frozen in the mist
So empty and all alone."

"Sheding what's left of my mind
In the deepest of sorrows.
Despair resides, pain envelops me
As i'm trapped in unending darkness."

My destiny forever smashed.
I walk alone in shrouds of darkness.

Fantasy is killing me
The nightmare is not over!!
This fantasy is our reality!!

The nightmare is not over!!
This fantasy is killing me!!

The darkest sorrow, bleed your tears.

Fantasy, reality
The nightmare is not over!!
This fantasy is our reality!!

Our destiny forever smashed.
We walk alone in shrouds of darkness.

"...And suddenly a flash light
Floods the sky as she appears beneath the full moon.
Echoes of destiny gaze upon the
Water that breathes across the autumn edge.
We will always walk this path alone...
Despair has drawn you near us..."


7. DESPAIR RESIDES

You tremble in fear as I paint your tears
Candles in the dark, they burn away the light.
"Your silent whispers haunt my frozen soul..."
And these words engrave her epitaph
Remaining secrets born in velvet entities.
"The shadows that run loose in my forsaken mind,
Are the painful memories that I have shed for you..."

The eternal misery I hold deep in my heart
Light fire to my soul when I'm alone in the dark.
Shapes of despair bestow me closer to you
They long to bring us farther apart.
When forever has finally gone astray
Tomorrow is a retention of yesterday.
To reminisce of sorrow that seems so far away
This infinite depression keeps me here today.

And when her wretched past comes to haunt me
Portray the fate sealed in locked doors.
"My silent whispers haunt your empty soul..."
Dark black shadows blind the naked truth
Leaving me to die in a depressive state.
"And when the light is gone from my eyes,
The stars will no longer kiss me goodbye."

Moments of lust in a silent still
Memories drown like unwanted tears.
The darkness parts the night in separation
I'm here but you're not there.

"I think that death will smile
An abrasive fate left despised.
Love burns the candle of frozen time
Our world is full of lies."

When nightmares die!!!
I still must compromise.
I sleep alone tonight
Despair resides.
Dream of your pretty kisses
Don't let go of my soul.
Breathless within this moment
Your shallow empty glow.

Nightmares alive!!!
I'll never compromise.
Withering in light
Despair resides.
Dream of your pretty kisses
You let go of my soul.
Breathless within this moment
Your hollow empty glow.


8. ROMANTIC THRENODY

"I see my cold and empty house
I feel the trees faint in despair
We lie so melancholic in this void
As we disappear in the mist.
The frozen air remains so silent
Impossible to pulsate any sound
As I stare at the meadow, I mourn
The beauty who will never return."

The past utters a quiet belief to spew out our blasphemy.

"And from the broken window I look out
This melody heard by me alone
You paint my tears and shed my blood
An image that I only (will always) fear.
I let the falling snow blind my sight
The winter fulfills my forbidden destiny
Breathe in my fear, caress my death
As we're forever embraced in misery."

The mysteries of nature forever remain deceased.

You are so dead to me...
I feel your corpse, there's no remorse.
Sacrifice your soul to me, let the crows devour your flesh.
To treat you right, I abandon your caress
As I leave you forever in my debt!!
You are so dead to me...
I feel your corpse, there's no remorse.
Sacrifice your soul to me, let the crows devour your flesh.
The bloodsoaked clouds, that hover above us
As I leave you shrouded in mystery!!


9. POIGNANT REQUIESCAT

"In quiet rooms of dark repose
This black rose fulfills our dream.
She dreams of eternity
To wake into a beautiful death."

Rest in pieces
Rise the ashes
I come to life.
Rest in pieces
Rise the ashes
She comes to life!

"To suffer the life she once had
Anxiety takes her broken hand.
Lonely and yearning precious sleep
The blood remains forever dormant."

As we approach the sarcophagus
Tarnished in vibrant sepia colors.
I give her peace and tranquillity
Forever laden, she will rest.

So soft her footprints under this wretched earth.
Reminiscent whispers cradled to infinite dust.

So cold and all alone
An epitaph to shed new light.
Let the storm douse our thoughts
Bleed on her. Feed on her.
Silent lies create new flesh
A summoning to bring her death.
This perfect melancholy
Bleeds the tears of morbid serenity.

So soft her footprints under this wretched earth.
Reminiscent whispers cradled to infinite dust......

So cold and all alone
An epitaph to shed new light.
Let the storm douse our thoughts
Bleed on her. Feed on her.
Silent lies create new flesh
A covenant to bring her death.
This perfect melancholy
Bleeds the tears of morbid serenity.


10. EMBROIDERED IN DARKNESS

The doorways to your mind
Whispering secrets that she cannot hear.
The windows to her soul
Are never left open...
And the color of your eyes
They change the scenery in my mind.
"The empty hallways to my heart
Remain so lost and torn apart."

The feelings in your soul
They burn so deep in the night.
And still this heart remains bleak
in bittersweet misery...
Fearful of what will come
Our fate lies enraptured in tragedy.
"The empty hallways to my heart
Remain so lost and torn apart.
Our seasons bereft in sorrow
As this vagrant soul remains so dark."

I color your world black!!
Do these dreams remain intact?
Threads become ever so... reluctant!!
I color your world black!!
Do these dreams remain intact?
Threads become ever so... reluctant!!!

Our time is like a tragic epiphany
When fate screams, tomorrow will come.
And there will be nothing left for me
As I embrace this sorrow forever.

"I whisper words......
You barely hear my voice and suffocate the silent air.
Embroidered in solace.
I glare at you......
You think you see a glimpse of my beautiful emptiness.
Embroidered in darkness."

I remember the past, benighted shadows
In dying arms of misery, I am forever blind.
When I am left all alone and cold
I know she will caress me deep inside her soul.

"This love is but a darkened mistake
And time is mirrored like a distant memory.
Reminiscent, the smell of my perfume
My soul shall be kept in bittersweet misery."

My love has gone to where the wind blows
Her kisses drown my empty soul away.
And I remain so dead to you every day
Until the threads unfold this beauty of fractured time.
