Aphrodisiac
05:36
|
|

On darkest night
She came to me
Floating on
Perfumed breeze
Thin veils writhe
And serpent coil
Fragrant aphrodisiac
Fills the air
In the quickening pulse
Of the breathing night
Crest after crest
Flow over all
The pulling deep
Take me down
Thin veils writhe
And serpent coil
Fragrant aphrodisiac
Fills the air
In the quickening pulse
Of the breathing night
I give myself to this
Willingly overwhelmed
I float in this abyss
Fill my lungs, taint my blood
Aphrodisiac
Pull me under
Drown with me

The Key That Never Turns
04:32
|
|
||
Waking in a dream
A half light place
The key rattles in the door
I know I've seen this place before
Down stone steps
To damp floored room
I know this place
From other dreams
If I turn around
I know what I'll see
A shadow of a face
Looking into me
All I've ever found
Awaits me in this place
The key that never turns
Won't lock it away
Trying not to move
Unable to escape
I know I've seen that face before
The mirror in my dream
In cold sweat
I start to toss and turn
Trying to awake
and turn the key
If I turn around
I know what I'll see
A shadow of a face
Looking into me
All I've ever found
Awaits me in this place
The key that never turns
Won't lock it away

Fields of broken glass
Shards fell in one downpour
Empty now the hours pass
Sullen shades, noteless score
No emotion in his face
Ash grey and bloodless white
Eyes like abandoned place
Empty rooms denied light
Clouds frozen in the dome
Vapours from a static sea
All is still within the gloam
Unaware of distant plea
Eyes like an abandoned place
Bonds torn, essence drained
Half man and nothing more
No light in those eyes
Drifting by, far from shore
No emotion in his face
Ash grey and bloodless white
Eyes like abandoned place
Empty rooms denied light
Clouds frozen in the dome
Vapours from a static sea
All is still within the gloam
Unaware of distant plea
Eyes like an abandoned place
When all seems lost, live on
Eyes like an abandoned place

The New Bliss
04:36
|
|
||
All pawns, we fall into this game
We race to death
All waste around to know despair
All waste away
All these things
The rats won't take
Man will turn to clay
The new bliss
The ground will shake
Night will turn to day
All gone, we turn over the page
The great reset
No place for failure or disgrace
This the new way
All these things
The rats won't take
Man will turn to clay
The new bliss
The ground will shake
Night will turn to day
The new bliss will come one day
All fall, into the great abyss
The endless place
To understand this new bliss
One must decay
All these things
The rats won't take
Man will turn to clay
The new bliss
The ground will shake
Night will turn to day
The new bliss will come one day

The Storm Does Not Care
04:01
|
|
||
Very few truths in life
Keep moving at all times
Accept the consequence
Before you go, read the tide
Crashes from the open sky
Mightier than all mankind
Batten down and hold on tight
Another storm will hit tonight
Stay in your suffering
You'll be dead in life
Even though it seems unfair
Know the storm does not care
In these misty seas
We fear uncertainty
Running from the coming storm
Turn around, do not flee
Flashes in the Northern sky
Lighting up the darkest night
Hold fast and do not hide
Embrace the storm with open eyes
Stay in your suffering
You'll be dead in life
Even though it seems unfair
Know the storm does not care

The Lost Gaze
03:00
|
|
||
Why did you have to leave me?
Why did you have to go?
You know I would have followed
To see you once more
All the miles between us
I didn't care at all
I only wanted something
I didn't know was gone
The last days
I cried so long
The lost gaze
Of one who loves no more
In the dawn by the phone
I rang and rang some more
Desperate to hear your voice
Fearful of the tone
All those miles between us
Somehow the gap had grown
I wasn't ready for this
I couldn't be alone
The last days
I cried so long
The lost gaze
Of one who loves no more

Painted Trees
04:21
|
|
||
Hanging there
On the wall
Reminder of
Times before
Gone the days when nothing more
Than happiness and love was known
All I want is to feel again
Something more than this despair
Take me back to those trees again
Let me know you're still there
A picture of
Painted trees
Untouched by
Times like these
This sadness now is hard to bear
As captured ghosts disturb the air
All I want is to feel again
Something more than this despair
Take me back to those trees again
Let me know you're still there
If I close my eyes
The years fade out
With fractured sight
I look around
Can you hear me?
I call for you endlessly
Can you see me?
I look for you mournfully
Meet me by the trees
There's so many things I want to say
Sometimes I cannot breathe
The air so thin, I want to leave
All I want is to feel again
Something more than this despair
Take me back to those trees again
Let me know you're still there

Goodbye
03:48
|
|
||
If I leave tomorrow
Will you say goodbye?
I wonder if you'd notice
I don't think you'd try
Save some tears for me
You'll need them before long
Don't try to reach me
When you do, the chance is gone
In this sky the birds have flown
In your eyes lights are out, love is gone
Underneath the arches
We made the vow
Always and forever
Didn't come true somehow
Save some hope for me
Hope is all you'll ever know
Don't watch the sky for me
Fallen leaves gently blown
In this sky the birds have flown
In your eyes lights are out, love is gone
