Stolen from the Sun
02:49
|
|||
Doll in tulle and lace
Trust not my angelic face
From a plague you rescued me
Mother sleeping eternally
Can’t you see what you’ve done?
Stolen me from the sun
Made me your prodigy
Cursed me for eternity
I have wished forever long
To be freed from childish form
Old heart in youthful mold
Loathing, bitter, hateful, cold
You should have seen
How this would end…
Your daughter in darkness
Love has blinded you
I’ll not grow old with you
Night falls and your end draws near
You created a monster
My father dear
Doll in tulle and lace
Trust not my angelic face

Le Cirque de Rêves
03:39
|

Darkness descends and the circus calls
City of silk under moonlight
Even for dreamers
Enchanted nights
Vanish before the dawn
Past the clock face, cauldron flame
You don't see the game we play
Wishing tree, carousel
Illusion unseen, the circus of dreams
Lovers entwine the circus design
Bound beyond death ‘til end of time
Garden of icicles, maze of clouds
Coaster ride under the ground
Illusionist and contortionist -
To the circus we’re bound

Return to the Sea
04:05
|

Those poor unfortunate souls
Last breath, last song
Ocean caressing my skin
Lost in both worlds
Alone with the Caspian wind
I sacrificed all to be part of your world
You chose another, I set you free
If I can’t have you
I return to the sea
Wish I could be part of your world
Night sky is fading
Lighting horizon on fire
Waves catch the flames
Lifting me to my last hour
I wish I could be
Your poor unfortunate soul

Quando corpus morietur
Fac, ut animae donetur
Paradisi gloria

There's Life in Me Yet
03:42
|
|||
Claw to the surface
Emerge from the filth
Crawl through the dirt, the stench
The putrid life of the swamp
With veins hard as iron
And flesh cold as clay
Possessed by ancient evil
The hunter seeks prey
There’s life in me yet
My lust for blood is a madness…
A ruling impulse…
There’s life in me yet
Scream wretched lover
Burn down everything we own
Destroy the veil of secrecy
Walk fearless in open
We are gods amongst men!
Interred and returned
No longer begraved
Lured back by the revels of night
The forbidden, the hidden, depraved
Too long in the shadows
The taste of blood revives
Enthralled by ancient evil
Tonight I shall dine

Sink Down Below
03:36
|
|||
Sink, sink, sink down below
And find where all the lost souls go
Follow my call
Across moon-gilded waters
Beyond Tyrrhenian debris
Forgo dry land
Forget the sand
Let the ocean set you free
I wait for thee
Beneath the midnight waters
I long to be your Salacian bride
Sink deeper down
Claim Neptune’s crown
Leave your ship of fools behind
Sleep peacefully
(Tranquility)
Stay here with me forever

Lavender's Blue
03:30
|

Lavender’s blue, dilly dilly
Lavender’s green
When you are King, dilly dilly
I’ll be your Queen
When you’re King as you deserve
All will bow to your name
Traitors, deserters we’ll send to the flame
Silence, must we now
The usurper of thrones
Merciless our reign to those who oppose
Just a little drop
Sleeping endlessly
Dreaming lavender’s blue
Sweet and silent child lies in graven repose

What Good is Left?
03:57
|
|||
I could not save you from my darkness
You could not save me from my past
How was I to know you’d be the martyr?
The consequences of my self destruction?
All the life we could have shared…
All the tears I still bleed…
Was I ever in your mind
When you cried out your last goodbye?
You were the only one who cared for me
Who wished that I would reach
For so much more
But now you’re gone
What good is left in me?
How can I find a purpose in my sorrow?

Oro supplex et acclinist
Cor contritum quasi cinis
Gere curam mei finis

This is the End
03:06
|

Is this the end?
My friends, we race the dying sun on which our lives depend
Our love is damned!
Held captive by eternal fiend condemned
He summons wind and storm and beast from Hell’s infernal land
Here we stand
At our journey’s end
This is our time
Fates entwined
He calls to me ’cross oceans of time
I long to feel his lips pressed cold against my heartbeat
Do you believe in destiny?
This is the end!
My friends, against most evil forces must our souls defend
We stand here at last against the dark abyss
Our faith, the only anchor which we cling
Into the fray, our foe’s annihilation we intend
Salvation or damnation yet unknown - tonight this is the end!
