Don’t U Cry

Little by little
I've come to this point
On my own I've been lookng my way
I lost you so early
The days went so fast
You don't know how I prayed every day

A song to remember
A song to forget
You'll never know how I tried
To make you proud
And to honor your name but
You never told me goodbye

Now that you are gone
Casting shadows from the past
You and all the memories will last

Don't you cry
Or suffer over me
I will be waiting for you

Now that you are gone
Casting shadows from the past
In my dreams I hear your voice at last

Welcome the Shadows

Like the shadows cover me
Rising from my ecstasy...

In a glimpse from a quiet childhood
I recall a mother's smile
Nothing needs to be understood,
I am free

In the deep of a distant forest
I'll lose my sense of time
Where the words of the wind is honest,
I can breathe

Someone told me there's a higher mountain
But I'll wait here for a while
Only led by the deepest hunger,
I'll flee from exile

Like the shadows cover me
You're behind me once again
Rising from my ecstasy
Rising from my pain

Like the shadows follow me
You can wash my steps away
Not the one I want to be
But still somehow the same

Interlude To Eternity

As I sit upon these rocks above
I feel the waves crash upon the shore
As the sea sprays on my glowing face
I wish I could embrace the sea
for evermore
As I lay my head to sleep at night
I dream the sea and me we flow as one
But I'm a prisoner of the sands and
no one understands these childish dreams

An old man approaches me
His feeble mind confusing to thee
He speaks in riddles and rhymes
Tales of an old witch that cast him
From the sea
But wait my eyes full of splendor
Or could this be some crazy old tale
I look to his eyes for the answer

I will sell my soul to the sea
For Eternity….an while away

And so the journey begins
The pain and suffering
Are your dreams worth this torment?
You can deal another hand
But the light in the distance
Promises this the journeys end

I will sell my soul to the sea
For Eternity….an while away

The Black Halo

Come wind
Come snow
I have resigned myself to death
Come will to show the hidden hand
So I can draw my final breath
You could take me higher
So you said and I trusted you
I may be a liar, but betrayal lies on you

I can feel where the journey ends
Final call for a last defense
Darkness come tonight
I have no fear of what you hold
Darkness come alive
You are the stories I've been told

I posses the power
Of survivor in the cold
Darkness is like a flower
As it stumbles out of fall
We all know when our time has come
This is where I will linger on

Darkness come tonight
Nothing can take my faith away
Darkness come alive
Life fades to black from silver grey

When the Lights are down

Rules without exceptions last eternally
Every move you make creates your destiny
I've come to soak my sorrow in halo black
As black as the seal on my soul

When the lights are down
There's no more to say
Love is the real pain
An internal revolution in our minds
And when the lights are down
You're so far away
Tell me your real name
In the silence of the darkness we unite

What can protect me from the past
And all the things that I have done
He told me and he was gone

But when the lights are down
There's no more to say
Deep in the shadows
Where the last of my delusions made a stand
We will see an eternity of the void
And in death we'll live the love we never had

The Edge of Paradise

Sleepless
Not really quite awake
Where the soul conforms
To deeper needs
Free within frames of custody
I revolve my spirit and exhale

On the edge of paradise
Poison burning
In my veins
Unavailing...compromised
My dreams remain the same

Soothing but yet so violent
In this world within the other world
Moonlight...in visions...heaven sent
I see demon eyes and wings unfurled

On the edge of paradise
Powerless
I sail on by
Undermining life itself
My will to wonder why

Memento Mori

Who wants to separate
The world we know from our beliefs
And who sees only black and white
Distinguish loss from sacrifice
Some day we may come to peace
With the world within ourselves

And I will await you
Until I close my eyes

When your time has come
You know you'll be lonely once again
And the final winter comes to us all
Life is treacherous
But you're not the only one who must pretend

We're a second in time
We're the last in the line
Of the prey that walks the earth
Good and evil combined

And it comes to an end
Even winter... like fall
And we all have our beliefs
Pray for mercy for all

I am a entity without a mystery
The deal is done within
I will embrace the coldest winter breeze
And pay for every sin
