Death Shrouds
05:35
|

Death shrouds and red wine
It sounds so divine
Walks in the moonlight
Pale skin so sublime
Romantic illusions
Never thought through conclusion
All this agony
I die every night
I open the lid the bats fly out
Feeling alone there is no doubt
The aching inside you
The craving that drives you
From deep within I call your name
I’ve never forgot who is to blame
The aching inside you
The terror that drives you
First love first kill
Bloodlust and no will
Each night the same thing
I deliver death’s sting
Long life long sorrow
Yesterday is tomorrow
I chose the shadows
Forever alone
I open the lid the bats fly out
Feeling alone there is no doubt
The aching inside you
The craving that drives you
From deep within I call your name
I’ve never forgot who is to blame
The aching inside you
The terror that drives you
Heart ache
Soul break
Love forsake
My mistake
I open the lid the bats fly out
Feeling alone there is no doubt
The aching inside you
The craving that drives you
From deep within I call your name
I’ve never forgot who is to blame
The aching inside you
The terror that drives you
Death shrouds and red wine
It sounds so divine
Walks in the moonlight
Pale skin so sublime
Romantic illusions
Never thought through conclusion
All this agony
I die every night

Deep-Buried Room
05:47
|
|||
Lie still in the darkness
Breathe deep of the fumes
There's only one present
In the deep-buried room
Instinctive reaction is
Your worst enemy
Conscious acceptance is
What sets you free
Relax under pressure
Submit to the pain
You'll feel better if you let go
You'll feel better if you can
Relax under pressure
Submit to the pain
You'll find that you're different when
You go back to your real life once again
There is no time
there is no space
Benevolent master
Invisible face
The flesh will respond
To the unyielding pain
They'll never forgive you but
They'll be back again
Relax under pressure
Submit to the pain
You'll feel better when it's over
You'll feel better when it's done
Relax under pressure
Submit to the pain
You'll find that you're different when
You go back to your real life once again
Exquisite moment
It ends all too soon
Now no-one's present
In the deep-buried room
So pick up the pieces
And put them away
It's best to move on now
They won't let you stay
Relax under pressure
Submit to the pain
You'll feel better when it's over
You'll feel better when it's done
Relax under pressure
Submit to the pain
If there's nothing left to live for then
There's nothing left to fear
Relax under pressure
Submit to the pain
You'll find that you're new now and
You can't go back to your life again

Misery (I Rage)
03:35
|
|||
The blood that seeps from a distended wound
Is almost as black as the night
It pools on the floor, congeals at my feet
Reflecting a terrible sight
My personal hell, our shared circumstance
Together we are each alone
I watch as the foundations crumble, and
Brace for misery, worse than we've known
I rage at the power of small men
Who fiddle while cities burn
I weep for the plight of the poor man
Who doesn't know which way to turn
Which way to turn
The animal urge to follow the pack
Will result in humanity's fall
We live behind wire, we snap at our bonds
While the animals laugh at us all
I rage at the power of small men
Who undermine all that is good
I seethe at the weakness of leaders
Too spineless to do what they should
Do what they should
The darkest of days that are soon to come
Will only bring misery
We are told there is light at the end of the path
I have searched but I cannot see
I rage at the power of small men
Who revel in death and decay
I pray for someone who can save us
For someone who can show us the way
Show us the way
Show us the way
Please show us the way
Show us the way
Please show us the way

It's been years since last we met
We may never meet again
I have struggled to forget
But that struggle, it was in vain
For her voice lives on the breeze
And her spirit comes at will
In the midnight on the seas
Her bright smile haunts me still
At the first sweet dawn of light
When I gaze upon the deep
Her form still greets my sight
While the stars their vigils keep
When I close my aching eyes
Sweet dreams my senses fill
And from sleep when I arise
Her bright smile haunts me still
I have sailed 'neath alien skies
I have trod the desert path
I have seen the storm arise
Like a giant in his wrath
Every danger I have known
That a reckless life can fill
Yet her presence is not flown
Her bright smile haunts me still
For her voice lives on the breeze
And her spirit comes at will
In the midnight on the seas
Her bright smile haunts me still
