The Poet And The Pendulum
The end
The songwriter’s dead
The blade fell upon him
Taking him to the white lands
Of Empathica,
Of Innocence
Empathica
Innocence
The dreamer and the wine
Poet without a rhyme
A widowed writer, torn apart by chains of Hell
One last perfect verse
Yet still the same old song
Oh Christ, how I hate what I have become
Take me home
Get away, run away, fly away
Lead me astray, to dreamer’s hideaway
I cannot cry ’cause the shoulder cries more
I cannot die, I, the whore for the cold world
Forgive me, I have but two faces
One for the world,
One for God save me
I cannot cry ’cause the shoulder cries more
I cannot die, I, a whore for the cold world
My home was there and then
These meadows of heaven
Adventure-filled days
One with every smiling face
Please, no more words
Thoughts from a severed head
No more praise
Tell me once my heart goes right
Take me home
Get away, run away, fly away
Lead me astray, to dreamer’s hideaway
I cannot cry ’cause the shoulder cries more
I cannot die, I, the whore for the cold world
Forgive me, I have but two faces
One for the world,
One for God save me
I cannot cry ’cause the shoulder cries more
I cannot die, I, a whore for the cold world
Whore for the cold world
Whore for the cold world
Sparkle my scenery
With turqiouse waterfall
With beauty underneath
The Ever Free
Tuck me in
Beneath the blue
Beneath the pain
Beneath the rain
Goodnight kiss for a child in time
Swaying blade my lullaby
On the shore we sat and hoped
Under the same pale moon
Whose guiding light chose you
Chose you all
I’m afraid, so afraid, of being raped
Again and again and again
I know I will die alone, but loved
You live long enough to hear the sound of guns
Long enough to find yourself screaming every night
And if you want
Live long enough to see your friends betray you
Years have I been strapped unto this altar
Now I only have three minutes and counting
I just wish the tide would catch me first
And give me a death
I always longed for
Second robber to the right of Christ
Cut in half - infacticide
The world will rejoice today
As the crows feast on the rotting poet
Everyone must bury their own
No pack to bury the heart of stone
Now he's home in Hell, serves him well
Slain by the bell, tolling for his farewell
The morning dawned upon this altar
Remains of the dark passion play
Performed by his friends without shame
Spitting on his grave as they came
Get away, run away, fly away
Lead me astray, to dreamer’s hideaway
I cannot cry ’cause the shoulder cries more
I cannot die, I, the whore for the cold world
Forgive me, I have but two faces
One for the world,
One for God save me
I cannot cry ’cause the shoulder cries more
I cannot die, I, a whore for the cold world
A whore for the cold world
A whore for the cold world
Today, in the year of our Lord, 2005
Tuomas was called from the cares of the world
He stopped crying at the end of each beautiful day
The music he wrote had too long been without silence
He was found naked and dead
With a smile in his face, a pen and 1000 pages of erased text
Save me!
Be still, my son
You're home
Oh when did you become so cold?
The blade will keep on descending
All you need is to feel my love
Search for beauty, find your shore
Try to save them all, bleed no more
You have such ocean's within
In the end
I will always love you
The beginning
Bye Bye Beautiful
Finally the hills are without eyes
They are tired of painting a dead man's face red
With their own blood
They used to love having so much to lose
Blink your eyes just once and see everything in ruins
Did you ever hear what I told you?
Did you ever read what I wrote you?
Did you ever listen to what we played?
Did you ever let in what the world said?
Did we get this far just to feel your hate?
Did we play to become only pawns in the game?
How blind can you be, don't you see?
You chose the long road, but we'll be waiting
Bye bye, beautiful
Jacob's ghost for the girl in white
Blindfold for the blind
Dead siblings wanting the dying earth
Noose around a choking heart
Eternity torn apart
So toll now the funeral bells
"I need to die to feel alive"
Did you ever hear what I told you?
Did you ever read what I wrote you?
Did you ever listen to what we played?
Did you ever let in what the world said?
Did we get this far just to feel your hate?
Did we play to become only pawns in the game?
How blind can you be, don't you see?
You chose the long road, but we'll be waiting
Bye bye, beautiful
It`s not the tree that forsakes the flower
But the flower that forsakes the tree
Someday I`ll learn to love these scars
Still fresh from the red-hot blade of your words
...How blind can you be, don`t you see...
...that the gambler lost all he does not have...
Did you ever hear what I told you
Did you ever read what I wrote you
Did you ever listen to what we played
Did you ever let in what the world said
Did we get this far just to feel your hate
Did we play to become only pawns in the game
How blind can you be, don`t you see
You chose the long road but we`ll be waiting
Bye bye, beautiful
Amaranth
Baptized with a perfect name
The doubting one by heart
Alone without himself
War between him and the day
Need someone to blame
In the end, little he can do alone
You believe but what you see
You receive but what you give
Caress the one, the Never-Fading
Rain in your heart - the tears of snow-white sorrow
Caress the one, the hiding amaranth
In a land of the daybreak
Apart from the wandering pack
In this brief flight of time we reach
For the ones, whoever dare
You believe but what you see
You receive but what you give
Caress the one, the Never-Fading
Rain in your heart - the tears of snow-white sorrow
Caress the one, the hiding amaranth
In a land of the daybreak
Caress the one, the Never-Fading
Rain in your heart - the tears of snow-white sorrow
Caress the one, the hiding amaranth
In a land of the daybreak
Reaching, searching for something untouched
Hearing voices of the Never-Fading calling
Caress the one, the Never-Fading
Rain in your heart - the tears of snow-white sorrow
Caress the one, the hiding amaranth
In a land of the daybreak
Caress the one, the Never-Fading
Rain in your heart - the tears of snow-white sorrow
Caress the one, the hiding amaranth
In a land of the daybreak
Cadence Of Her Last Breath
Running for her life
The dark rain from her eyes still falls
Breathtaking butterfly
Chose a dark day to live
Save one breath for me
Alone and longing for
The cadence of her last breath
Why do I miss someone I never met?
With bated breath I lay
Sea winds brought her to me
A butterfly, mere one-day
Miracle of life
And all the poetry in the world
Finally makes sense to me
Save one death for me
A Loner longing for
Run away, run away, run away, run away
The cadence of her last breath
Put to rest, all that's not life
Drink for beauty
Feel her last breath
Sometimes a dream turns into greed
Alone and longing for
Run away, run away, run away, run away
The cadence of her last breath
A Loner longing for
Run away, run away, run away, run away
The cadence of her last breath
Master Passion Greed
Who the hell are you to tell me,
What to do, why to do, why bother
Leech in a mask of virtue
Such waste, to ever think of you again
Hey Judas, your Christess was our love
Hit and run, your will be done
Never sorry, never wrong
More more more more more
Master Passion Greed
Master Passion Greed
"Hello. How are you?
Let me explain one thing.
All for her and more for me
Why is it so hard to see?
I see no sense in doing this,
Not enough for me,
I fuck up everything but let me explain"
Some day you shall flee,
Panting and weak
Master Passion Greed
Master Passion Greed
Master Passion Greed
Master Passion Greed
All within me gone but pain and hope
Hoping that the pain would fade away
Greed, your master passion
I feed the mouth that bites me
Mammon, opiate of the masses
The reek of your lies draws flies
Seek her
Seduce her
Tame her
Blame her
Have her
Kill her
Feast on it all
With awakening the tears will begin
To my everlasting shame silence took me
Eva
6:30 winter morn
Snow keeps falling, silent dawn
A rose by any other name
Eva leaves her Swanbrook home
A kindest heart which always made
Me ashamed of my own
She walks alone but not without her name
Eva flies away
Dreams the world far away
In this cruel children's game
There's no friend to call her name
Eva sails away
Dreams the world far away
The Good in her will be my sunflower field
Mocked by man to depths of shame
Little girl with life ahead
For a memory of one kind word
She would stay among the beasts
Time for one more daring dream
Before her escape, edenbeam
We kill with her own loving heart
Eva flies away
Dreams the world far away
In this cruel children's game
There's no friend to call her name
Eva sails away
Dreams the world far away
The Good in her will be my sunflower field
Sahara
My ballad of a dark queen
Echoes through light
As he feels the curse of gods
The pharaoh's wrath
One-thousand-one nights I?ve seen
The philosopher and the queen
Ancient mariner
In a sea of sand
The journey
Beauty is doomed to die for
One-thousand-one nights I?ve seen
The philosopher and the queen
Heaven has a darkened face
Here was a soaring [?] on a chase
Caravan of the catch
Chasing him across the waves
Lay him or rest under ridges of mirage
As the sun slowly turn to Elysian fields
One-thousand-one nights I?ve seen
The philosopher and the queen
One-thousand-one nights I?ve seen
The philosopher and the queen
Whoever Brings The Night
We seduce the dark with pain and rapture
Like two ships that pass in the night
You and I, a whore and a bashful sailor
Welcome to a sunrise of a dirty mind
All you love is a lie
You one-night butterfly
Hurt me, be the one
Whoever brings the night
The Dark, created to hide the innocent white, the lust of night
Eyes so bright, seductive lies
Crimson masquerade where I merely played my part
Poison dart of desire
All you love is a lie
You one-night butterfly
Hurt me, be the one
Whoever brings the night
Choose a bride tonight
A fantasy for a zombie
Hurt me, I love to suffer
Your harem's a dream for free
Enter
Suck from us and live forver
Rotten beauty
Will haunt you for a lifetime
Come with me underwater
And drown to despise me no more
Unholy, unworthy
My night is a dream for free
All you love is a lie
You one-night butterfly
Hurt me, be the one
Whoever brings the night
All you love is a lie
You one-night butterfly
Hurt me, be the one
Whoever brings the night
Whoever brings the night
For The Heart I Once Had
Heaven today is but a way
To a place I once called home
Heart of a child, one final sigh
As another love grows cold
Once my heart beat to the
Rhythm of the falling snow
Blackened below, the river now flows
A stream of molten virgin snow
For the heart I'll never have
For the child forever gone
The music flows because it longs
For the heart I once had
Living today without a way
To understand the weight of the world
Faded and torn, old and forlorn
My weak and hoping heart
For the child, for the light
For the heart I once had
I'll believe and foresee
Everything I could ever be
For the heart I'll never have
For the child forever gone
The music flows because it longs
For the heart I once had
Time will not heal a dead boy's scars
Time will kill
For the heart I'll never have
For the child forever gone
The music flows because it longs
For the heart I once had
The Islander
An old man by a seashore at the end of days
Gazes the horizon with seawinds in his face
Tempest-tossed silence
And seasons all the same
Anchorage unpainted
And a ship without a name
Sea without a shore
For the banished one unheard
Alight is the people lying at the end of world
Showing the way
Lighting hope in their hearts
Once in their travels all come from afar
This is the long forgotten
Light at the end of the world
Horizon crying
The tears we left behind long ago
The albatross is flying
There's hate in their greed
The time before me one day when all was the sea
Princess in the tower
Children in the field
Life giving it all
And all of the universe
Oh, now is as a memory
The ghost in the fog
He sets the sails
And laughs to say farewell to the world
Anchor to the water
Sea be far below
Laughing in the heat
And a smile beneath his brow
This is the long forgotten
Light at the end of the world
Horizon crying
The tears we left behind long ago
So long ago
This is the long forgotten
Light at the end of the world
Horizon crying
The tears we left behind long ago
So long ago
Last Of The Wilds (Instrumental)
7 Days To The Wolves
The wolves, my love, will come
Taking us home where dust once was a man
Is there life before a death?
Do we long too much?
(At never-land)
Howl! Seven days to the wolves
Where will we be when they come?
Seven days to the poison
And a place in heaven
Time drawing near us
They come to take us
This is my church of choice
Last drinks and death in last sacrifice
For the rest, I have to say to you
I will dream like a god
(And suffer like all the dead children)
Howl! Seven days to the wolves
Where will we be when they come?
Seven days to the poison
And a place in heaven
Time drawing near us
They come to take us
This is where heroes and cowards part ways
Light the fire, feast
Chase the ghosts, give in
Take the road less travelled by
Leave the city of fools
Turn every poet loose
Howl! Seven days to the wolves
Where will we be when they come?
Seven days to the poison
And a place in heaven
Time drawing near us
They come to take us
Howl! Seven days to the wolves
Where will we be when they come?
Seven days to the poison
And a place in heaven
Time drawing near us
They come to take us
Hero
Coward
No more
Meadows Of Heaven
I close my eyes, the lantern dies
The scent of awakening, wild honey and dew
Childhood games, woods and lakes
Streams of silver, toys of olden days
Meadows of Heaven
Meadows of Heaven
Lands of wonder and of hidden treasures
In the meadow of life, my acre of Heaven
A five-year-old winter heart in a place called home
Sailing the waves of past
Meadows of Heaven
Meadows of Heaven
Meadows of Heaven
Meadows of Heaven
Rocking chair without a dreamer
A wood and a spring without laughter?
Sandbox without toy soldiers
Yuletide without the flight
Dream down for her
Flowers wither, treasures stay hidden
Until I see the first star-fall
I fall asleep and see it all
Mother care and colour of the kites
Meadows of Heaven
Meadows of Heaven
Meadows of Heaven
Meadows of Heaven
Meadows of Heaven
Meadows of Heaven
Meadows of Heaven |
