blood stained
last days
in the subway
dead ones see
through the cracks
into the sky
sick veins, betrayed
your lost heart, dreaming
Traveling to nowhere
trapped down here
screaming
behind my cold eyes
Intently watching
you are lost with me, too
I am your truth
there is no hope
there is no rain
down below the city’s frame
where I wait to slowly drain
the missing
they’ll never find us
they’ll never know what we’ve become
they’ll never find us
they’ll never find you

Borgo Pass

Where I go, don't follow
Traveled so far to meet my fate
There'll be a carriage on the pass
At Midnight
The dead one awakes
To take my soul away
Away
Where I go, don't follow
Land of deathless phantoms
Damp scents of rain
There'll be a dead man on the pass
At Midnight
To take my soul away
To take my soul away
Away
Left in his wake, such sorrow
Children of Night sing for his praise
I hear their cries out in the hollow
The hounds of hell come from the grave
To take my soul away
To take my soul away
Away
To take my soul away
Where I go, don't follow
Land of deathless phantoms
Damp scents of rain
There'll be a dead man on the pass
At Midnight
To take my soul away
To take my soul away
Away
Left in his wake, such sorrow
Children of Night sing for his praise
I hear their cries out in the hollow
A dreadful heart quickens its pace
The hounds of Hell come from the grave
To take my soul away
To take my soul away
Left in his wake, such sorrow
Children of Night sing for his praise
I hear their cries out in the hollow
A dreadful heart quickens its pace
The hounds of Hell come from the grave
To take my soul away
Holding tight to the cross
Please God, protect my weary veins
When the light has gone
I can still see Mina's face
Holding tight to the cross
Please God, protect my weary veins
When the light has gone
I can still see Mina's face
Holding tight to the cross...

Cortège

Another funeral
Death always takes
More than you’ll know
Life’s consequence
Stays by our side
Despite this empty state of mind
Beside your casket, in a row
A white rose
To say I’m sorry that you’re gone
I can hold my breath for a long time
For a long time, but I won’t cry
I can't cry, I can’t cry
I can’t
Reflected monsters on the screen
Shadows of light and color
Shapeshifting
The rushing tide of everything
Takes me away from empty sleep
Beside your casket, in a row
A white rose
To say I’m sorry that you’re gone
I can hold my breath for a long time
For a long time, but I won’t cry
I can’t cry, I can’t cry,
I can’t
They're smiling
Black flowers smile
Still smiling
And I can't cry
Black flowers smile
I can't cry
I can't cry
I can't cry
I can't
Black flowers smile

Visitation Room
04:35
|

behind a door
down the hall
the casket spray is dying
dried flower perfume, old yet strong
visitation brings no ease
in a flood it rushes back
the day death crushed her dreams
in those blank eyes
she gazed into
no tears to dry
be with you soon
a vacant stare
a lonely room
I’ll wake again
laugh, cry, pretend
please tell me that
this is not true
She turned away
then closed the door.
I’ll miss you always darling
and dream of you, till I’m no more..
incised and drained
stitched up, turned blue
no tears to dry
I'll be with you soon
wish I could hear your voice before
before you’re kneeling
at my grave by the shore
lips of a ghost
once so adored
she’s still waiting for
for you
At rest in silence
draped in gray
pulled through the veil
weightless forms
that guide my hands
so lost and frail
lay awake now in these arms
lost beneath the sky and stars
wish you could be here too
in the visitation room
lay awake now in these arms
lost beneath the sky and stars
wish you could be here, too
in the visitation room

Red Shadows

Something changed today
Everything is out of place
You said we had to go
Because you saw the red shadows…
Can’t close your eyes, it wont go away
You know the end is here today
Say goodbye, turn your head
The time has come just like they said…
Red shadows, red shadows…
I can feel the electric rain
The night won't come again
And your face, it has turned so gray
You wish it was yesterday, yesterday…
Goodbye my love I'll see you soon
I don't know where, I don't have a clue
Don't look back, don't make the turn
They told me that these red shadows burn
Red shadows, red shadows
Tell me now, is it true?
Are these red skies really blue?
Tell me, is it a lie?
Because I don't see any sky at all…
just red shadows…red shadows…
I can feel the electric rain
The night wont come again
Your face has turned so gray
We all wish it was yesterday, yesterday…
Tell me, is it true?
Are these red skies really blue?
Tell me…is it a lie?
Because I don't see
any sky at all…
at all
no sky at all
at all
at all
at all
at all

Driving through a moonless night
The road is winding
Sadness in her eyes
The snow all melts
Blood drips from her hair
It doesn’t hurt me, Laura
To see you dead
And on the 24th
She’ll be wrapped in plastic
Buried in a casket
Disgraced
Homecoming Queen
Fire Walk With Me.
A man from another place is coming
To guide him to the Black Lodge
Where time and space mean nothing
Shadowed by the dark of pine trees
The air is freezing and my soul is leaving
On the 24th
She’ll be wrapped in plastic
Buried in a casket
Disgraced
Homecoming Queen
Fire Walk With Me.
Will they ever find me?
Guess I’ll never know
When we meet again
It won’t be me.
It won’t be me.
It won’t be me.

Green-Wood

In candle flame
She's beckoning
A lovely ghost, bathed all in white
Haunting me
Past Green-Wood's gates,
Ocean of trees
Where I can breathe
Where I am free
Free
Here lie the dead of New York's streets
Necropolis of past lives
Our sanctuary
I feel the earth beneath my feet
All that we see or seem
Is but a dream
An emerald dream
When will she come to waken me?
Now that this life's forsaken me?
Here lie the dead of New York's streets
Necropolis of past lives
Our sanctuary
I feel the earth beneath my feet
All that we see or seem
Is but a dream
Our emerald dream
A scarlet dawn
Bleeds from the sky
The dew of morning
Drips down
Into my eyes
Here lie the dead of New York's streets
Necropolis of past lives
Our sanctuary
I feel the earth beneath my feet
All that we see or seem
Is but a dream
Our emerald dream
Lost in concrete
The city screams
Cut to the quick
Forget to breathe
All glass and steel
Our hopes and dreams
Wish somehow
I could see
The sea

You're growing colder
As the night grows older
It couldn't last
You reached the end
There's no life left to know
And we are doomed
Your flesh between my teeth
Rotting
Just one more bite
From broken wings
So soft and deep
Down in your blood
We're sinking
And I couldn't save you
From the monster
Living inside me
I couldn't save you
From loving me
And I couldn't save you
From the monster
Living inside me
I couldn't save you
From loving me
White feathers fall beneath
And you taste of heartbreak
There is no God here
Only me
My love is absent
And love is death
My love is chaos
Blood stained
Spent
I couldn't save you
From the monster
Living inside me
I couldn't save you
From loving me
I couldn't save you
From the monster
Eater of our dreams
I couldn't save you
From loving me
Raw and bare
Cold and dead
Crimson red
Crimson red
