No season visits me, no cycle, no change
Without you my life is Sunday and rain
Until the time comes when my soul is freed
The sun it won’t shine, the cold it won’t leave
I know I’ll never touch your skin
And mine is a cell, imprisoned within
Your life is a time that died long before me
That I seek, though I’m lost, alone in my dreams
All through the day frustration inside
Eats away, devouring my mind
With paintings and pictures I deify you
And await your arrival, a forbidden rendezvous
I know I’ll never touch your skin
While mine is the cell I’m imprisoned within
But my life is a time, and time allows me
To shape what I find, in ages in dreams
Lately your face has been looking so pale
My vision is fading, your figure seems frail
With death reaping scythe, the horsemen shall ride
Me to you, finally at home by your side

The cry of a child at the waxing moon
Breaks the still of the night and my focus on you
The obsession of will, like a torture again
Takes form in the air as the candlelight wanes
Oh, Angel you are and will always be
I’m passing through states but playing one scene
I lay with the body that you possess
As direction grows, leaving the flesh
Within you once more time draws to an end
Revisiting echoes that I must comprehend
The past is tomorrow, illusions now seen
I move with you tonight let’s change what has been
"Beside him I wake up to another dawn
As he turns to me, I know you have gone
Back to the life you dare not betray
Still I won’t stop the instinct that leads me away"
And I still search while walking blind
For the key to your door and the secret time hides
Peel back the mask of scars and lines
To unveil a life through which your soul will shine
Over all of these years my will was the guide
But the balance explodes when two worlds collide
Angel-fire burns – the gods wrath
Angel-fire burns – a sanctified path
My lover tomorrow, a ghost today
If I shed my skin tonight will you stay?
I hear you calling, I hear you calling
Your voice it rides upon the wind

Eye For Eye [MMIV]
06:51

You servant of false power
You who go nowhere
Just to a bottomless pit
Of dreamless sleep
Drowning us and ours
In your filth
You know what you do
Yet do nothing that is true
You are damaging our health
You cannot redeem yourself
Murder
It tastes sweet
The smell it is strong
An eye for an eye
If I took yours would it be wrong?
An eye for an eye
If I took yours would it be wrong?
Eye for eye, unsheathe the sword
Eye for eye, on the governing horde
Eye for eye, for all those that are wronged
Eye for eye, come join our song
Eye for eye, unsheath the sword
Eye for eye, time to meet your lord
Eye for eye, for all those that are wronged
Eye for eye, come join our song...
A gift for a gift

I can feel a cloak of bitterness enshroud
My heart lost in storm clouds
Alone I stand within a place that I call home
Oh, how I used to roam
And you will not return to the shore of this strange land
To fill an empty man
Where all I do is wait and sit and wonder how
I think I know it now
And as the time goes by more thoughts of you are lost
Melt into the frost
The longer that I stay the more it numbs the pain
Here love can’t remain
Around me the fog falls and all I feel is bone
Safe among my own
Where all I do is live in a place to die
I think I know just why
It’s dark, grow cold
It’s dry, grow old
In the waiting ground
And why should I be found when you know that I am bound
To the waiting ground
