The Bridge
03:38

|
A crack of thunder over you
Creeping clouds of ashes swallowing the blue
The path you chose led you nowhere
No turning back the way you've come's no
longer there
Look behind you the bridge is on fire
All that was is now lost in the blaze
Watch your innocence fade in the
distance
Dreams and wishes all gone down in
flames
A deadman walking in your shoes
crawling his way up to the noose
The cross you bear weighing you down, regret
and disillusion
In spite of all the trodden ground, alone is all
you've become

Storm White

Barely more than a child
my first encounter with your kind
You came and made me alone
Laid waste to all that threatened your throne
I'll never know what it's like
to be the boy I have left behind
What made me me got erased
Replaced by life in a barren waste
Storm white
caught in the claws of your winter
to breathe my last
Snowbound
stranded to wait out the cold night
Loveless years passing by
Buried beneath a coat of white
I cannot recall a time
When colors showed when sunlight shined

Messengers

In dreams they speak to me
A message in my slumber
Asleep they open up my eyes
Faces those of my youth
from places long forsaken
Their voices soothe my aching heart
These words I long to hear
bring order out of chaos
make tears of bliss surge deep inside
my tortured heart
Until sunrise breaks the spell
Cast from heaven back to hell
Can some echo linger on
Their message from beyond
In dreams I'm visited
though I'm the one they welcome
with compassion for my pain
they keep me sane
Until dawn comes crashing in
Back to cold reality
Gone their smiles and warm embrace
My only solace
If they wished for me to stay,
never see another day
Would I follow them along
into the beyond?

Sleepless
04:06
|
|||
|
Down this hole of my own digging
Counting hours creeping by
My depression keeps me company
Gazing at the world outside
I look away to let nobody see
the gloom eating away at me
No friendly touch from out this sea of grey
Must I surrender to decay?
I cannot sleep, I'm so obsessed
with escaping this emptiness
Stay back from me I'm possessed
by a thirst I cannot quench

The Raven King
04:32
|
|||
|
Dawn with golden fingers sets his world alight
Prone upon his resting place, no trace left of his
might
No more will he soar up high in wicked majesty
The raven king torn from the skies, left wrestling
with the weeds
Once the ruler of a heaven stained with grey
Blissfully oblivious that numbered were his days
Shiny wings of burnished steel to ashes soon will
turn
Stripped of all his glory to become one with the
dirt
Look up now, your precious realm forgot you
fast
Did you not know memories fade and nothing
ever lasts?

Tolerant Dustman

Tolerant dustman
turning a blind eye
Keeper of secrets
among what you collect
Though unsavoury
These my offerings
are for you alone
Body parts unknown
Tolerant dustman, what did you find
in the trash of my life
Tolerant dustman
Only you can see the real me
What's in the bag?
It's not a cat
Looks like a head
Whose head is that?
Tolerant dustman
You're my best friend
I've never met you
but I know you're there
