1. Withering Soul
+++++++++++++++++
Everlasting love, crying from my heart
Saving my youth for thee, we shall never part
Jading face of stone, whispering empty words
Forever blinded still, haunting bitter shores

It will never be accepted my love for thee is oh so real
Never shall we be together resting bones are held apart

Take me away where we can be together forever

No! We are not wanted here
Our people is forgiven for all they know is fear
With our powers unified
We will tear them down to be as one

Doom this night of treachery
We're hunted in fear of our powers to be
Please forgive me of my sins
Never will I give in to be loyal to thee

Walking to the island of malice
I see the truth and open my eyes
The washing shores await us there
As they keep us safe from our fears

It will never be accepted my love for thee is oh so real
Still we cannot be together resting bones are held apart
Vanish in the dark surroundings, get away from this hellish place
Faces of fright are always upon us seeking a way to end this dream

Everlasting love, crying from my heart
Saving my youth for thee, we shall never part
Jading face of stone, whispering empty words
Forever blinded still, haunting bitter shores


2. Of Damnation In Reprise
++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Look and you shall find in her eyes
A tale of damnation in reprise...

Doubt and hesitation, mandatory minds
Confusion and damnation are the only things she will find
Midst the cloudst, midst the dark blackened leaves
Unspoken words are the only thing she'll

Retrieve my soul, it still yearns for that day
Waiting anctiously to be taken away
To satisfaction, which leads to the kingdom of vain
A place where people can quietly go insane

A collusion of minds, which were no longer teached
To be broken by the promise that was hidden in me
Whisper my name, and secretly desire
Gargantuan oblivion rages out of the fire

Doubt and hesitation, mandatory minds
Confusion and damnation are the only things she will find
Midst the cloudst, midst the dark blackened leaves
Unspoken words are the only thing she'll

Retrieve my soul, it still yearns for that day
Waiting anctiously to be taken away
To satisfaction, which leads to the kingdom of vain
A place where people can quietly go insane

Embrace the sound of the nocturnal children
For they shall and they will be your only way

She must retain her inner thoughts
Never let them fade away
Dark raven haired under my spell
Until my minute of decay

Whisper my name
A kiss of immortal delight
When lightning struck
Thunder by moonlight

She must retain her inner thoughts
Never let them fade away
Dark raven haired under my spell
Until my minute of decay


3. Mistress Of Gordon
+++++++++++++++++++++
Laying, gazing on the midnight sky
Upon clowdy mountainpeak supine
Below, ruined lands are seen trembling
Her horror and beauty are divine

Return, my Mistress of Gorgon
Thy've marked my heart with wisdom
Return, my Mistress of Gorgon
Thy've scarred my soul, and now it is gone...

Upon her lips and eyelids, seems no lie
Loveliness as a shadow, from which it shines
Fury and luried, struggling underneath
The agonies and anguish of death

My Mistress of Gorgon
Thy've marked my heart with no wisdom
Return not my Mistress of Gorgon
Thy've scarred my soul... Roam alone

Yes, it's the horror than the grace
Which turns the gazer's spirits, into stone
Whereon the lineaments of that dead face
Are graven, till the characters be grown

Into itself and thought no more can trace
'Tis the melodious hue, of beauty enthroned
Arthwont the darkness and the glore of pain
Which humanize and harmonize the strain

From her head, as from one body grows
As rotten grass out of a watery rock
Hair as a viper, they curl and flow
Their long tangles, in each other lock
With unending involutions show...

Their moiled radiance, as it were to mock
The torture and the dead within and saw
The solid air, with many a ragged jaw

'Tis the tempestious loveliness of terror
Far from the serpent's gleam, a brazen glare
Kindled, by that inextricable terror
Which makes a thrilling vapour, of the air

To become an ever shiftening mirror nightmare
Of all the beauty, and terror there
A woman's countenance, with serpent locks
Gazing in depth from heaven on death, 
From those wet rocks...


4. Last Touch
+++++++++++++
I need to break from my chains 
From all that binds me down
The suffered self, the sorrowed pain
I need a knife to cut me free 
From these chains that tie me down 

I'm cursed for all eternity 
By this scar inside my heart 
The pain will never disappear 
The guilt will never part 

I held you close, close to me 
And faced my fears to pass them through 
My bitterness long forgotten
I let my truth and beauty show

You backed away in terror 
Your smile now fading fast 
You cried out in distress
As I slashed you with the blade 

Your heart no longer beating 
Your lips no longer prayed 
I touched your blood with my fingertips 
I Smiled, and closed my eyes 

No longer felt your innocence 
I no longer heard your lies 
I withdrew all my anger 
Turned, and backed away 
I looked back... calling your name 
(It was the time for our last touch)


5. My Land Beyond
+++++++++++++++++
My black, mourning moods
Caught in the thickened mist
Echoing, through these woods
Wherein I unveilded, endlessly wished

Silence surrounds my presence
An entity unknown
To my dying bloodline
Crowned by the lost, depth of the endless
Wandering... in this maze of mine

The land beyond, my land forlorn, in misery
A land reigned by fear, and disbelief
Dark and deep, this is the depth of treachery
Torn by the gods, in their times of grief

I know by the knowledge of not
For I am and for I am not
Here before you I stand
The supreme of the supremest, 
I am the damned

A barren land neighed in hate
Where a man had lost his fate
This, the land of my dreams
Kept in slavery by all means
Lying in this other realm
Forbidden for mortals to see

Under her veil on the other side
There where this white bride sleeps
Lying in the valley deep and wide
I know this wisdom to me it speaks, at night...


6. Fear
+++++++
As soon as the fading dark surrounds me
I go insane, wishing for the light
The thorns as a burden around my soul
Bury the present struggle for sight

Emotions, seen by few
After a night of lies
Accompany the morning's dew
The dark leaves my presence dry

Fear, as soon as the night surrounds me
Fading away, into eternal suffering
Shades of pale ebony, never to be seen by mortal men

While the fear slowly takes its toll
All visions from the past are falling away
The black path followed ahead
Will soon show its fading encumbrance

Never before could the omen
Foresee the pain left behind
The solitude of eyes staring
Grieves the mind eternally

The fear that grips me, never to be seen again
Fades with the sight of its death, their souls recur the faith
Temptations faced in the flesh, never grant us madness

As soon as the fading dark surrounds me
I go insane, wishing for the light
The thorns as a burden around my soul
Bury the present struggle for sight
