The photographs within my mind of
you laying on the grass that day how the roses never fully bloomed
I would never ask again if the other person ever knew about the fiery days of
me and you
Living with the fear we share the lives we.d never live Afraid to know what
troubles we would find
So I hold the baby on the stairs As I watch you leave for quite a while Hoping
that you would ever
change your mind You never tried Ha Feeling alive with fear we consecrate our
need Like a child out
in the cold in reverence Tell me how you feel next time we writhe again
With no need or fear of love in reverence
So I passed by and was on my way To see how you were doing on that fine day
Hoping you might have changed
your mind I never expected what I would find Well There is something that is
to be said For justice as it lies in bed
And Ill never forget the look on your face As I stared and knew you.d keep on
living
Like a child in the cold we consecrate our need feeling alive with fear in reverence
Arrogance in reverence Decadence in reverence Pestilence in reverence Consequence
in reverence
Every time we writhe in fear you tell me of your love and how you feel in reverence
Decadence in reverence..
Consequence in reverence

Walking through the airport With
a smile on your face As you don.t even notice the passers by
You just think of those fatal mistakes As you keep your hand pressed on your
45 Its always the
same again and again But the feeling will all run through Just a feeling of
frustration as it takes control
But you know why killing life is the dawn the moment of creation flowing home
to you corrupting your mind
Feeling a life flowing through the shadows of your smile and your precious lips
for the fingertips of a
lover that is to be done and there.s nowhere to go and there.s nothing to see
but the feelings will only
frustrate you as you pull the trigger on that gun, the man in blue will be coming
after you After you In time
Running through the airport With a smile on your face As you don.t even notice
the passers by
You just think of those fatal mistakes As you keep your hand pressed on your
45 Its always the same
again and again But the feelings will all run through Just a feeling of frustration
as it takes control
But you know why killing life is the dawn the moment of creation coming home
to you corrupting your mind
killing life is a beautiful time it.s the perfect time for killing life killing
for the love of killing
killing you without regretting killing you without more feeling killing our
hearts
We call unto the twilight we call
to the unbelievers the passion that surrounds us we fall unto our sighs
the call to the unbelievers the feel of drowning cries transcends to the sounds
around us leaving us far behind
We call unto the sunlight the light shines through our fears we fall within
our reasons resounding our crimson tears
recall the age of reason recall those timeless ears they listen to the unbelievers
they drown us in our later years the
sounds fade into our passions the cries among us fade away into that eternal
bliss now the red skied babies pray
Since creation we blinded ourselves by memories and thoughts of a time we never
shared by our innate lack of
innovation we cling to a life that doesn.t care about us or our kind our lives
go fading by we pay for our lack of
vision to dream at the stars of what we could have been and take that final
step and dive into deep blue water
cleansing all our thoughts drowning in these tears of all that.s lost surrounded
by a feeling the rocks below look
rough if I could look beyond myself my fear is not enough breathing slowly we
cry for another time the winds of
change go blowing through our lives for the sake of time we wonder why we cry
staring on these shores we share
the light what we see there is no time for the end of the earth and all that
it requires waiting for a solid sign to carry
us to the other side as we collide
As we watch from a far away place sometimes we see all is not safe the perverted
minds take their stand and
complicate the little parts of you swelling up from a pale embrace I caught
a glimpse of you in the corner standing
there with eyes so bright they could have killed me in a moment what a nice
surprise to see you there as I smelt the
flowers in her hair I felt your charm reaching out to me with a knife in hand
you staggered towards me ooh Asheade
oh torture feeling once was in ecstasy a fractured part of you and me the heart
it quells from deep within we see ourselves
with an evil grin it takes control of our every thought and leads us to that
climatic part for awhile I lost my place and was
taken to a living coma a subtle glance of the pain that swells deep within this
living hell this place was getting kinda strange
so I took her out into the rain with a scream that flew one million miles or
more I saw the last of you The time had come so
blissfully to scatter off all that was me to find another one night stand and
claim my stake across this land the time had come
for me to flee into that night so hidden see change my face without discourse
and let the memory be my source vacant stares
and lonely hours your heart my dear will soon be ours pretty faces wont save
you now from the poisoned kiss I served you
how alone I sent you on your way to remember how you died that day Asheade
In the shadows the light of my tears in your winter you comfort me From the
day that you were born to the day that you
will see cold light reflects from across this distant land a gentle voice it
holds your hand giving you light to see and I will
wait till you are near to tell you all that I abhor in your arms sweet sanctuary
and I will touch the icy face a face that wouldn.t
tell a lie exceptions are agreed and I will wait till you return to see what
you have seen destiny devours the pain before me
now these tears were made from silence of your last regression they comfort
me to sleep and help me to come clean in your
absence Drowning in this deep abyss will I sink or will I swim waiting quietly
for your return and at the close of my own life
during these times I feel the crushing chance that I have been left broken and
as my slumber land awaits I feel you breathing
in to me the will and life to carry on and I will wait till you return to hear
what you have seen kismet.s faithful hour and all that.s
in between those tears that mark your silence of your last regression they comfort
me to sleep and help me to come clean in
your absence in the shadows I will wait for you to come to me in the light of
your tears I will cry for you to comfort me in your
winter I will unleash the doves in hopes that they will bring you back to me
in your absence
We tested with touching hands the strength of fate we followed you so closely
while you carried our cross of faith in silence
we caressed the lines like naked angels our passion so divine I trusted you
with a patient heart you moved so slowly learned
to fend for ourselves again we fought on through the night with pleasure for
that Xmas present we are the shadows we are the
mirrors we are the keepers of all that.s real.
I was betrayed by c-life the ebb and flow of urban decay I was exhumed from
the source of life when you think about love
and all it takes and all the times we shared icing for 5 an hour begins to erase
you from my memory of ever wanting you lost
on a shore afraid to see I carried on I was forced to play deceit all the time
I fell for all your pretty lights to play beyond the
sun to change the bulbs of all those pretty light First when I met you promised
me the world but as time went on I found out
the world wasn.t worth that much anymore oh I was betrayed from c-life the ebb
and flow of urban decay I was exhumed
from the source of life and when you think about love and all it takes and all
the times we shared icing for 5 an hour begins
to erase you from my memories of wanting you lost on a shore afraid to see we
carried on we were forced to play deceit
all the time until we found the key to disintegrate the function that incorporates
is to plant a seed deep within their bowels
like the Trojan horse of the modern age with a friendly smile and a loaded AK
like gods we disarm them
(None)
Its time to reconstruct this dreary world we leave behind its time to resurrect
the inner conscience of our minds to stop
the following of fools and begin to live our lives to put behind us the ignorance
that has plagued us a long long time and
to never be misguided the clever hand that binds the truth that.s hidden behind
the guise to wash our hands of fading cries
to color the world between the lines to give up our wisdom for our pride to
never be afraid to speak out loud because
they say its whisper time its time to reverberate the words once spoken so benign
its time to resonate all the thoughts
we left behind to place the trust that.s wasted on the people that appear to
kind to focus on the laughter that follows us
from the other side and to never be misguided by the clever hand that binds
Lady don.t go Where the winds blow we don.t know for Tomorrow.s fate is close
at hand For Tonight I stay in a foreign
land The seas are ebbing my life is short And your deceit has stranded me on
this shore Staring out across this land Nothing
in sight no ship to man Just me and 5 million species of life that I don.t understand
Caught dead in the middle of paradise All
alone with nothing to do Just a chest and a bottle of memories That.s all I
have left of me and you A million nights a million
candles when you and I would sail again Fighting wars was our mission When the
world was ours to claim Caught dead in the
middle of paradise All alone with nothing to do I could stand there building
sand castles But I.m sure you bomb them too could
life be real on a different planet we stake our lives for its wonders to pillage
and plunder nowhere to go and nothing to see drained
until we all become Flatlined Flatlined today nowhere to go no one to see Lady
don.t go Where the winds blow we don.t know
for Tomorrow.s fate may do us in But Tonight we caress with lovers hands The
seas are ebbing my life is short And you saved me
from it all Fraulein Oh Fraulein drowning with you There.s nothing better I
could do In our union we.d go Sailing for the morning
Sailing for the glory I follow you Diving deep under water You showed me a life
more deserving Then the one that I saw outside
Running through the forest burning all the trees down Our bombs bursting so
bright tonight
Pillage Time Rape Your Mind!!!!!
From the day that you were born to the day that you will see the cold light
reflecting upon the faces of everyone you.ve ever seen
living until the silence you bring is forced upon the shores of this night and
bring back my tears to give in your hope of falling lights
to devour me there.s no hope left for you that.s what they say In the springtime
I will wait for you to fly to me in the light of your
tears in that springtime of your winter as the leaves fall across your face
the snow outside is cold and you know its not over till
they tell you your done so I.ll keep on waiting and anticipating your return
again and again living with hopes of desire can we see
you now for all its worth in your absence I will wait for you to come back to
me return from the storm with the rain upon your face
as I cry for you left me here with a notion of faith something to cling onto
again and again Absence again and again
