1. AMARANTH

This unpleasant wind only caresses you
I wasn't even worth a cue
You threw me into this empty nothingness
Loss of concious, physical gravity
All I see is this black shattered night
Please end this dead-end life
Is this infernal loneliness the frail reality?
Soon all darkness is laid upon me

You left me descending
You threw me into nothing

Oh angel-like wings spread when the moon sings
A melodic interlude of caressing solitude
Oh angel-like wings hide when the moon cries
A mournful part about the lives love tears apart

All I hear is the chord of misery strummed
Emotional Starvation, bleeding salvation
I guess the truth was too much to ask (for)
A lying mind with a beautiful mask

Unable to put her beauty in words
I write how much my sadness hurts
The last time I touched her I knew that
She never would wither...


2. PATH OF EXISTENCE

As the gates through eternity appears
The anguish I feel,
When the light in front of me grows
All the voises deep inside
From which I cannot hide
Every promise that i hear
Donât know which thatâs confiding
The closer it comes
The stronger it grows

Walking through the ages of time
All these memories of which I could die
Beyond this portal the grief will mend
My mind should calm and the pain would end

The path, so long, this infernal trip
Every singel step
Like an needle through the soul
Every picture of moments
That were so bright
Wish they all will disappear,
Just fade...

I writhe in agony, the end is near
Will I ever regret it? That is my deepest fear
On the edge of existence, i slip back through time
After all i've experienced, I feel renewed and reborned


3. SPOKEN IN SILENCE

A union for faith, believes and hopes
A noble purpose as we strain our own ropes
The forsaken shriek is still in my head
All these thoughts but nothing is said
We constantly lie to ourselves,
Our egoism takes the fall at someone else
All that was coloured has turned grey
Soon all our paths are led astray

Nowhere to hide, no one to lie beside
I can´t hold them back anymore
These are the tears I´ve been waiting for

Clinging on to the word,
That´s spoken in silence
Trust dies with glory,
We are all co-writers to this story

For the lies are our shelter
That once in a while falls,
A life filled with betrayal
One day it will all fall apart

A soul immersed in Crimson
so naked and so bitter,
A life without content or reason
Soon everything will wither

Nowhere to hide, no one to lie beside
I can´t hold them back anymore
These are the tears I´ve been waiting for

Clinging on to the word,
That´s spoken in silence
Trust dies with glory,
We are all co-writers to this story

Was there a purpose for the effort?
Beyond our comprehension the surface breakes
Are my eyes bleeding?
You can cut through me but I won´t feel a thing...


4. LAMENT OF LIFE

My once so lucid soul, now forever fade
Oh, I shiver beneath the skin and I shudder
By the thought of being nothing but a shade
My yearning for love is answered with an ironic grin

The sardonic smile; cold and scornful
With ignorance you gaze right through me

Lament of life¦
Written with a blood-stained knife
My feelings you quelled¦
The writings make me bleed

Our time was vile; short but painful
Now there is nothing left to do for me

The most beautiful lily can wither
The tallest tree can fall
This infinite sadness makes me shiver
My yearning for the terminus is beyond all¦

Crimson life¦
Slowly I embrace perpetual night
Slayer of my core¦
I need the darkness I adore


5. NEVERENDING MELANCHOLY

As forever emptiness embraces me
A neverending melancholy begins
How could it get so wrong?
Every dream I had is gone
Why did you leave me when I need you the most
Even the purest ocean froze
Was it all just a numb lie
These tears I'm crying will never dry

Why?!
Wasn´t it worth more than a denial?
Fading...
Caught in a delirium slowly erasing

I dedicated my life to you
But you only let your atrocity through
When you treated me like nothing all along
Tell me; what did I do wrong?

Why did you leave me when I need you the most
Even the purest ocean froze
Was it all just a numb lie
These tears I'm crying will never dry

Why?!
Wasn´t it worth more than a denial?
Fading...
Caught in a delirium slowly erasing

In the depth of winter
Snow covers the path behind,
I´ll never solve this riddle
Was it the purpose to rape my mind?!


6. EVERMORE ALONE

This silent evening with its moon so bright
Sitting here on the path of life, everyone is gone out of sight
Went through all these dark nights (alone)
With the memories of the past (so dreary)
All these tears I've shed
My wounds will never mend
Over every river I've walked
And every endless field I've crossed
Every drop of blood I've lost
Every little wound it has cost
Every word I've said
And every mistake I've made
Wished you could be here by my side
Feel all the pain that's in my mind

The tears I cried came from a shadow inside
A sorrow so painful from which I can't hide

This solitary life cuts through me like a knife
Piercing my memories to reopen the scar
And as my soul cries still do I smile
This scar within built by lies so thin

Shouldn't I learn from my mistakes?
The tears it causes the pain it forsakes
If words could be renewed and replaced
Would it be a different matter with another face?

Oh have I dread this perpetual sorrow
This perished orchid does no longer grow
My last breath before to rest I'm laid
Evermore alone I seize my blade

"On a dark November night silence spoke a word so mere
a word fraught with lingering pain and boundless fear
a message that strangled the starkest dose of hope
I closed my eyes grasped my life and strained the rope"
