The tears that never dry 07:31

The tears that never dry Running down my skin With shame from the inside So sweet my darkness Pealing leafes of black rose Until no remains Left with my lonely scars Bleeding me hollow My eyes see no future Hidden from the light Lost myself to mourning Where the grey mist dance I was punished from birth As a criminal With rope around the neck Towards the gallows We scream until I cry You kiss my lips The burn with fear My crown may crucify The tears that never dry We hold until I die You say the last words That forgive My end this is goodbye The tears that never dry Sleepless nights no more Ending is relief Towards the burning star Where the lights move slow Only a pile of ashes While bloodred spirits Ablaze in the night Left no trace to find We scream until I cry You kiss my lips The burn with fear My crown may crucify The tears that never dry We hold until I die You say the last words That forgive My end this is goodbye The tears that never dry Tears The tears that never dry Running Running down my skin Shame With shame from the inside Shame With shame from the inside Sweet So sweet my darkness We scream until I cry You kiss my lips The burn with fear My crown may crucify The tears that never dry We hold until I die You say the last words That forgive My end this is goodbye The tears that never dry We scream until I cry You kiss my lips The burn with fear My crown may crucify The tears that never dry We hold until I die You say the last words That forgive My end this is goodbye The tears that never dry

In the depths of solitude The spirit is benign Supressed by our cries while silence awaits In the void of universe Follow hollow and broken Drowning in the sea Falling in a starless abyss Shadows' they grasp we search for light In the depths of a silent night In the vast of the unknown Dark hollow dream set sail Whispers of our pain in silence prevail In the dark of mystery Mourning phantom still linger Falling tears cascade Plunging in a lonely dead heart Shadows' they grasp we search for light In the depths of a silent night Shattered dreams Shattered dreams Whisper mournful cries With this mournful cries In this chamber In this chamber of despair We roam funerals empty chairs In the amoral void We silently weep Lost in the dark Where secrets keep Forsaken hearts Linger in pain They have grown Like a specter's touch Shattered dreams Shattered dreams Whisper mournful cries With this mournful cries In this chamber In this chamber of despair We roam funerals empty chairs

So cold My fear Frozen heart Inside this slumber Darkness die I feel Still nothing Silence time Final light this year Awake me now My throne In darkness when the night falls In my arms My throne In darkness empty halls Echoes in silence My angel The night falls in grim sorrow My demon Cruel and dark finds me now I walk Through nights Heathen rule Marching endless stride Darkness die One step I'll take Through the snow Undying passage For lost and blind My throne In darkness when the night falls In my arms My throne In darkness empty halls Echoes in silence My throne In darkness when the night falls In my arms My throne In darkness empty halls Echoes in silence My throne In darkness when the night falls In my arms My throne In darkness empty halls Echoes in silence My throne In darkness when the night falls In my arms My throne In darkness empty halls Echoes in silence My angel The night falls in grim sorrow My demon Cruel and dark finds me now

We rise We rise from the soil Leave leave them all In hopeless despair We come in the night Reaping hope Leaving lifeless All is gone one by one Beggars and thieves When hope dies Light will shine upon all Until the sun will fall The great blackened swan Hear the reaper's call The great blackened swan Dreams forever gone The great blackened swan Light and dark paragon Plant the strain of hope Never caring Pulling the ledge away Falling down the rope When hope dies Light will shine upon all Until the sun will fall The great blackened swan Hear the reaper's call We leave with hope We deceive the light A role of misanthrope Blackened swan benight Forsaken whispers Echoes in dispair Eternal darkness And endless night In twisted dreams he scream Old Gods needs to be pleased Finding sorrow and misery A creature far beyond Abandon by his downfall Alone in time of need Roaming shadow lost at night A scarlett moon appear Shining blade be silent Light will shine upon all Until the sun will fall The great blackened swan Hear the reaper's call We leave with hope We deceive the light A role of misanthrope Blackened swan benight The great blackened swan Dreams forever gone The great blackened swan Light and dark paragon

Beneath the frozen lake 07:20

She was full of life and wonder With beauty defenseless Every man persued with his own deceit Beasts they insnare The streets were dark and narrow Her safety forsaken The king was grooming for his pleasure Dagger in her back She's lost under the moonlight Hiding deep in the old world Torned between hunger and fear A siren on the cliffs of misery Beneath the frozen lake She's waiting for you to break Beneath the frozen lake Your crumbling heart falls down When the night was cold and glooming All seems so hopeless She swore by the spear of her revenge All the hearts of men She released the serpent inside Feeding from disgust She made the bleed they prey for mercy She immerse their hearts She's lost under the moonlight Hiding deep in the old world Torned between hunger and fear A siren on the cliffs of misery Beneath the frozen lake She's waiting for you to break Beneath the frozen lake Your crumbling heart falls down Revenge her life her story From beauty and safe haven Carnage she feeds til die She lies beneath frozen lake Waiting they who goes across She hold what you praying for Breaking thin ice you falling When your sould is fading out Remaining until your ending No remorse when death appear Her scar will never heal She reverse into dispair Darkness all too severe The queen of underworld The queen of underworld She's lost under the moonlight Hiding deep in the old world Torned between hunger and fear A siren on the cliffs of misery Beneath the frozen lake She's waiting for you to break Beneath the frozen lake Your crumbling heart falls down She's lost under the moonlight Hiding deep in the old world Torned between hunger and fear A siren on the cliffs of misery Beneath the frozen lake She's waiting for you to break Beneath the frozen lake Your crumbling heart falls down

Down in the earth Shadows in rest Chapel lies deep in my sleep Fearful and cold Lost and empty In my heartless misery The screaming in my heart Is calling love for darkness Am I disconnected Out of light In despair Lost souls cry out in agony and pain Echoes in my heartless misery My soul is gone I paid the price Secret dies with time and space Consume by night Dwells in darkness In my heartless misery The screaming in my heart Is calling love for darkness Am I disconnected Out of light In despair Lost souls cry out in agony and pain Echoes in my heartless misery The shadows call For those who dare To seek the chapel In shame and despair The curse and the sin That lurks within For it reveals A heartless misery Lost souls cry out in agony and pain Echoes in my heartless misery Misery misery Lost souls cry out in agony and pain Echoes in my heartless misery Lost souls cry out in agony and pain Echoes in my heartless misery The shadows call For those who dare To seek the chapel In shame and despair The curse and the sin That lurks within For it reveals A heartless misery

The Loss 06:08
lyrics

The color of night The color of death It clings to us like a final breath A reminder of those we have lost The tone of gloom The tone of the grave It lingers with us like a hopeless wave A legacy of those we could not save A shroud of mourning and pain To hide the tears that fall like rain A veil of sorrow and regret To obscure the tears that we can't forget The shade of night The shade of end It stays with us like an eternal friend A memory of what we can't revise The tinge of shadow The tinge of the beyond It remains with us like a solemn bond A tribute to those who are now gone A shroud of mourning and pain To hide the tears that fall like rain A veil of sorrow and regret To obscure the tears that we can't forget Ghosts they never fade Silent screams in nocturnal parade My heart weeps and my soul is torn A shroud of mourning and pain To hide the tears that fall like rain A veil of sorrow and regret To obscure the tears that we can't forget We long for a benighted day Where the pain never fade In darkness we must stay To carry the weight of what we cannot slay

I can hear the silence My void inside Arise from my spirit All forsaken My endless journey I beg to failing Gods Soaring darkness Come to me in the night Conjuring me Burning stones to witches Devil my ancient friend Awaits in the underworld Unsanctify He lays the touch Where madness now dwells Deceive me falling down Were the walls are choking me My solitude A meaningless grey haven Now holds me Black markings on my hands Bloodred eyes falling tears Praying will not prevail Caught up in the nest of creation Wake me up Anxiously and cruel From a hopeless fantasy Welcome my My old friend My world is ending Embrace the guilt No forgivness My oblivion upon me Eternal desolation A bleak leading trail Tears of grief Drowning from inside They banished me Set me out to die the dark Black markings on my hands Bloodred eyes falling tears Praying will not prevail Caught up in the nest of creation Wake me up Anxiously and cruel From a hopeless fantasy Welcome my My old friend Keep me close Uncertain and scare Life a tragic travesti Haunted by Insanity Wake me up Anxiously and cruel From a hopeless fantasy Welcome my My old friend Keep me close Uncertain and scare Life a tragic travesti Haunted by Insanity
