Midwintertears
Shadowcast upon my heart
endark... thy bleak midwintertears
condemned to mourn in silence
The pale moonrise in her eyes
Serene... like a frozen stream
the flowing beauty in thy tears

I crave for thee my once beloved
Beyond... the veils of darkness lost
where now thy roses wrapped in dusk

Dark enchantress
I suffer thy fullmoonnights
Trespass my undesired darkness

Tears... flowing through thy dreams

Dark enchantress
the seventh fullmoon rise
I drown in dusk and dark rivers

Summon all my dreams
like roses on your epigraph
written in my tears
thy sorrow and my bleeding heart

She comes so serene
my fallen beauty crowned with leaves
Take me to thy dream
Thy candle will forever burn in me…


Pale Enchantress
Dark... thou embrace my bleeding heart
My dreams... uniting our tearful eyes... enchanting
At night... I kiss the serpent in thy tears
For years... thy sorrow I've mourned

Harken my moonchilds cry
yearning for another night
Mourning my once beloved
mesmerized and ravendark

My pale enchantress of the night
at last my candle's burning down
The wintermoon is shining bleak
for thee my enchantress

Enchanting all my dreams
a beauty and her flood of tears
Nightfall embrace my heart
mesmerized and ravendark

My pale enchantress of the night
I desire thee

Fearful I walk with thee... through dusk
Through winds of loss... Her beauty and her
flood embrace my bleeding heart
Tearful I fall with thee... at last
Lead me there... to where thy shadows cast
They dance in velvet darkness lost

Rise... bleak winterfullmoon
Rise...

In life... I kissed the serpent in thy tears
For years... thy sorrow I mourned…



Cease To Exit
A velvet breath of life
enchants the garden of delight
Her voice within these winds
The flower so serene
Her cold and silent wail
Descend like midsummer rain
Bury my heart in thine
A taste of heavens wine

Beneath a fullmoon bright
she comes with gowns flowing wide
With bloodlike lips of faun
Enchanting eyes of dawn
Towards the moon she gaze
A lonely tear runs down her face
For all she lost in life
buried so deep inside

Leaves...
dance in her precious eden
where she lies deep
Her loss in life engraved
in dusk and angeltears

Enlight the night within me
Lead me there
where my heart lies buried
beneath the seven seas…



Angina
Through scornful declarence
and lumnious eyes
the shadows enveil
with the glorious night

Trespassing the sunset
like thou hast before
Entreating the daylight
to rage nevermore

Angina striking Elysium
A frail remembrance glorificates
the nightside-ascendance
veiled underneath thy funereal skies

The winds they may haunt me
in bloodredest skies
The moon may bewed
the strangest of light

The clasp of indifference
the conquering tide
The sweeping of daylight
...my vigour's decline

Thy Carrion Kind
Angina strikes Elysium
...a frail remembrance

Carrion Kind
My Carrion Kind



Opus Relique (Radio Edit)
Challenge my own world to chaos
Thoughts to mind becomes
my arch enemies
Skin to teeth…
visions appears to me in red
Scouring my wounds with your spit
Down in apathy which is growing
Once dragged down within
a mayhem of light
Skin to teeth...ripping my inwards apart
Poisoned with wine from the sick

Silent to drowse with the phantoms
and let the fire engulf me

Sanguine rebirth
Sanguine divined rebirth
Now your faces facing me
as transparent masks

Still they pester me
Still they haunt...as placidity is borned
The remembrance...age of innocense lost

Ascend...
Fire dance with me
let me be the most licentious martyr
Sear me


Saturnine
At the day of wrath
there is but all
the concession of degeneration
none to me supreme…


Midwintertears
Shadowcast upon my heart
endark... thy bleak midwintertears
condemned to mourn in silence
The pale moonrise in her eyes
Serene... like a frozen stream
the flowing beauty in thy tears

I crave for thee my once beloved
Beyond... the veils of darkness lost
where now thy roses wrapped in dusk

Dark enchantress
I suffer thy fullmoonnights
Trespass my undesired darkness

Tears... flowing through thy dreams

Dark enchantress
the seventh fullmoon rise
I drown in dusk and dark rivers

Summon all my dreams
like roses on your epigraph
written in my tears
thy sorrow and my bleeding heart

She comes so serene
my fallen beauty crowned with leaves
Take me to thy dream
Thy candle will forever burn in me…

My Lost Lenore
For thy promise bewailed
by her raveneyes
by her beauty and a scarlet sunrise
May thy river bury her silvertears
A fallen angel... enshrined in moonlit seas

Leaving vitality
so serene breeds my darkness
Entreating winterwinds
though I leave... I embrace thee

Winternight
conceal thy precious angellore
I secrete my soul
under thy wings of sorrow
Dark I embrace thy eyes
wander lost on life's narrow path
I reveal my heart
to this beauty dressed in dark

Grieving raveneyes
falls asleep with the sunrise
Delightful midsummer breeze
though I leave... I await thee

Grant me thy last midsummer breeze
May thou ascend from endless sleep
... my desire
Dance me above thy moonli seas
Glance yearningly into the deep
a cold and weary night

Winternight
Descending me like flakes of snow
I embrace the cold
for a life that morrows
Dark I embrace thy heart
Wanderer lost beyond veils of dawn
I conceal thy loss
enthralled in life yet still I mourn
My lost Lenore…


December Elegy
May thou carry me to the sea
Like autumn leaves... heaven wither
Savage is the winter prevailing within
I fall for thee... Sorrow entreating me
Makes me leave heaven

I find thy lilies there of snow
where once I died... weeping for thee
Everlasting seems the strife ascending within
Falling for thee...
Darkness confounding me
Makes me leave life

Breed my woe
Descend with broken wings
Midwinternight inside
Merged by life... like thousand
frozen tears
Come melt the ice... maytime…



Pale Enchantress
Dark... thou embrace my bleeding heart
My dreams... uniting our tearful eyes... enchanting
At night... I kiss the serpent in thy tears
For years... thy sorrow I've mourned

Harken my moonchilds cry
yearning for another night
Mourning my once beloved
mesmerized and ravendark

My pale enchantress of the night
at last my candle's burning down
The wintermoon is shining bleak
for thee my enchantress

Enchanting all my dreams
a beauty and her flood of tears
Nightfall embrace my heart
mesmerized and ravendark

My pale enchantress of the night
I desire thee

Fearful I walk with thee... through dusk
Through winds of loss... Her beauty and her
flood embrace my bleeding heart
Tearful I fall with thee... at last
Lead me there... to where thy shadows cast
They dance in velvet darkness lost

Rise... bleak winterfullmoon
Rise...

In life... I kissed the serpent in thy tears
For years... thy sorrow I mourned…




Evenfall (Video)
all thy name at nightfall
Reach out for thee life's rose
Cast thy veils at sunset
Trespass the waning in my halls
Prosperous beauty
Embraced by eden's heart
Call thy name out tearful
Reveal to me thy deepest loss

Cast... make haste my savage wall
for an end
Thy savage... bleak night
In life thy tears grow scarlet

Come desired nightfall
enchant my grievous loss
Life bewailed at sunset
Trespass the shadows in my heart
Arise before me
bequeath thy grievous loss
Dark at heart I mourn thee
Replace the vigour she once lost


Wasteland's Caress
I mourn thee by dusk
I mourn thee by dawn
Crave for thy gloss
to seek the silent glades beyond
precious a glance
thy veils now unfold
tearfull she dance
into this nightfall I behold

Grieve at night
Thy bereavement and thy loss in life
Grieve by day
Thy devotion and thy pass away

Beyond the veils of dawn
from where she Siren calls

The sunset seize within as I walk
Through velvet dusk and dawn
condemned to rise and fall
So grievous through the night she calls
the beauty I once lost
I mourn thee my beloved

Far beneath thy heavens lost
where I once pale and cold
beheld thy rarest rose…
