2. IT RAINS IN MY HEART

It rains in my heart
As it rains on the town,
What languor so dark
That soaks to my heart?

Il pleure dans mon coeur
Comme il pleut sur la ville.
Quelle est cette langueur
Qui pénêtre mon coeur?

Oh sweet sound of the rain
On the earth and the roofs!
For the dull heart again,
Oh the song of the rain!

It rains for no reason
In this heart lacking heart.
What? And no treason?
It's grief without reason.

By far the worst pain,
Without hatred, or love,
Yet no way to explain
Why my heart feels such pain!

C'est bien la pire peine
De ne savoir pourquoi,
Sans amour et sans haine,
Mon coeur a tant de peine.


3. SILENT CHAMBER, NOISY HEART

The world outside is laid to rest
Overtaken by darkness
Loneliness protrudes within
The sonnet soon to begin

Silent chamber
Noisy heart
Pondering never to depart
Silent chamber
Noisy heart
Breaking apart

Drudgery of the mind
Answers firmly enshrined
Severely oppressed
Emotionally possessed

Silent chamber
Noisy heart
Pondering never to depart
Silent chamber
Noisy heart
Breaking apart


4. TOCKA

As the days go into the thousands
The relentlessness grows
A longing with nothing to long for
Oblivious to what the future brings

Caught in a state of lethargy
Days go by outside the window
But inside, things are standing still
Everyday life has stagnated

Come save me out of this
Save me from myself
On the verge of breaking down
My mind is keeping me imprisoned

On hold, waiting, pacing the floor
A dull ache inhabits my core
If I just knew what to do
Time wouldn't be wasted like this

Caught in a state of lethargy
Days go by outside the window
But inside, things are standing still
Everything has come to a stop

Can't go to sleep
There's something that's missing
Something I haven't accomplished
And when I wake, it might be too late
Please, don't tell me it's too late

Come save me out of this
Save me from myself
On the verge of breaking down
My mind is keeping me imprisoned

Come save me out of this
Save me from myself
This can't go on any longer
My mind is keeping my imprisoned


5. BIEN LOIN D'ICI

Pandemonium of the mind
Faint memories of a distant time
Incessant reveries, lost within
Hidden treasures, enclosed therein

Bien Loin D'ici

Seemingly present, truthfully absent
Failing to connect, with the world beyond
Pertaining to a place that no longer prevails
Dreaming of lost faerietales

Bien Loin D'ici

Bien Loin D'ici


6. THE BIGGEST LOSS OF ALL

The biggest loss of all
Is what dies inside of you
While you live
During a lifetime
Pieces of you
Fall to dust

No changes are to be made
The damage is already inflicted

Dreams slowly fading away
With time they wither, decay
Like the autumn leaves
At the doorstep of winter

Other obstacles seem so trivial
Faced with the light within
Perishing
As the decades pass
You realize what
You've lost

These chains will not break
Your self so very restricted

The biggest loss of all
Is what dies inside of you
While you live
The childish sparkle
Succumbs with age
Such a shame

Dreams slowly fading away
With time they wither, decay
Like the autumn leaves
At the doorstep of winter

There is no way to be saved
Your soul was already convicted


7. DYSPHORIA

The feeling of despair
Drenched the light within
Struggling to stay afloat
Nostalgic for places remote

In a state of dysphoria
Reaching out to the abyss
Drifting further away
From a life in happiness
Sorrow placing a kiss
Upon my brow
Dancing on the edge
Of lunacy now

Profound solitude
No one fully follows
Misplaced, alone
Extraneous, forlorn

In a state of dysphoria
Reaching out to the abyss
Drifting further away
From a life in happiness
Sorrow placing a kiss
Upon my brow
Dancing on the edge
Of lunacy now


8. SERAPHIM

(Instrumental)


9. I DRINK IN EVERY SOB LIKE WINE

Oh sweet misery
Won't you come sit next to me
Please, say that you will stay
Without you, I'll be led astray

I drink in every sob like wine
Sorrow intoxicating this heart of mine

The greater the grief and pain
The more I seem to gain
Therefore I await the rain
Without inhibitions once again

I drink in every sob like wine
Sorrow intoxicating this heart of mine


10. A LAUGH IN A SEA OF SORROW

Troubles weigh you down
But still you put on a smile
Try your best to keep things right
But know that your heart won’t be satisfied

You hide behind a mask
You made out of fear for them
But it won’t take long
Before it breaks, fractured, shattered

Troubles weigh you down
But still you put on a smile
Try your best to keep things right
But know that your heart won’t be satisfied

Don’t close your eyes and drown in pain
Open them up, let the light in
Even though the outcome looks dark
Embrace life, fill it with elation

One day
Things will be different for you
Things will change
Life isn’t fair
You haven’t had much luck
But thru grief comes bliss

Troubles weigh you down
But still you put on a smile
Troubles way you down
But still you put on a smile
Don’t give up, continue the fight
And know that your heart will be satisfied
