Lyrics


1. ONCE

Once upon a time
Our future was their yesteryear,
A fateful winterchime
Foretold
A dolorous destiny.

Sinful shades of mellow scarlet lips
Once seduced to an ineffable crime.
Her created alabaster skin
Cracks all cogwheels of time.

Pallid spectres dancing through my mind
Once again he took her tender hand.
The roundabout of foolishness tumbled around
A conceived Elysium that could not stand.

Eyes as green as poisoned moss
Once promised treason in disguise.
Now her masquerade is lost
And her visage did paralyze.

Her anathema dines with avarice
The crimson ashes of his abandon.
A prohibition can’t prevent the rise
Of her licit anthem.

Where silent gods used to cry
Their everlasting tears.
Her ticking tick tack used to sing
The music of the spheres.
Deathly twines of fading life
Will be drawn to the song
Of the clock smiths machine wife.

Her magnetic bale fire
Draws the humanly desire.
Her arcane symphony of lust
Crushes all the seven sins to dust.

As creation's crowning glory
She’ll be the clock smiths’ acrimony.
Devotion of her laced waist
Steal his soul’s last grace.

On that blackened alabaster day
Where clocks sang louder than before
A winged aura of life fades away
And her fallen beauty was seen no more.

But sometimes in a lonely hour
I hear that forlorn phantom.
And now his death will confound the rise
Of her licit anthem.

Where silent gods used to cry
Their everlasting tears.
Her ticking tick tack used to sing
The music of the spheres.
Deathly twines of fading life
Will be drawn to the song
Of the clock smiths machine wife.

Once upon a time
Our future was their yesteryear,
A Fateful winter chime
Buried
Those who disappeared.


2. FORBIDDEN

I can’t say when
I can’t say why
But one night all the music dies.
The only song that was to hear
Was the forbidden serenade of the spheres.

- I can hear the forbidden song -

I tried to forget
We tried to hide
They sealed us off from the purple sky.
But all those measures could not prevent
The painful sounds of our present.

- I gently hum the forbidden song -

The carnival of treason
hosts the feast of our time.
We’re all invited
To be a part
Of their foolish crime.

The mute musicians
entrance them all.
They play those songs they all adore!
An enthralling empty theme
Their music of a distorted dream.

- And I sing the forbidden song –

Sing with me the forbidden symphony!
Break through the walls of baneful silence.
Rise my choir of sirens!

The carnival of treason
hosts the feast of our time.
We’re all invited
To be a part
Of their foolish crime.

Of their foolish crime.


3. CRYING ANGEL'S LULLABY

Hush my love
And I’ll sing you a lullaby.
Unfold your wings to my melody
And fly.

Listen my Love
The echo of time is calling you.
I’ll weave my Song of dreams
For you.

Oh I wish the time would have stopped that night and the world would doze in silence.
And I wish I could be there by your side and not feel your ghostly presence!

But know I am still here and see how your colour is painted black.
I sing your eternal lullaby but it won’t bring you back.

I see those feathers falling down
My heart wishes to fall as well.
But shadows use to bar and block my ways
With their cold and creeping atmosphere.

Currite dum lumen vitae
Habetis, ne tenebrae
Mortis vos comprehendant.

Hush my love
And I’ll sing you a lullaby.
Unfold your wings to my melody
And fly.
