TRACK 5: LOVESONG OF THE DAMNED
Rouse the whims of the night I bare
As spires are lit under lunar candlelight
Cursed bloodline, azure griped veins,
Compelling purpose, for us, to, live, a-gain
Release me, time shall not...
The stories old, worn from the page
The themes of loss, they’re all the same
Left stigmas mark on earthly time
From avarice pacts our greed provides
Conquests came a dire price
Undaunted reign for a cost most high
Not good enough, our glory earned
We traded further for eternal life
Long ago, we were unchanged
So long ago, we weren't so different
Was vanity's grandeur worth the fall?
As Ill-favored fates prevailed us all
So much more than mortality could endure
Oh valor, return from the prison of our shame
From tortured shape, with none other to blame
More ardent our wish than that of conquered empires
For us to walk again…In the sun
Shadow lies waiting under veil of light
Our pulse cast into purgatory
Somewhere lost twixt death and life
And for the thrall the vitae calls
Red treasures in bare throated vaults
And yet, tears spill forever-more from sanguine society
Long ago, we were unchanged
So long ago, we weren't so different
Lent to the earth our years to the grave
Abolished, humanity abstained
Our souls marred with damnation's mark
Beyond wearied time, quickens a languid pain
Karma's hand had dealt us our fate
A story’s ends, yet blank pages remain
Oh righteous day, oh fortune's fate, forgive our sins
Heed our call, from kingdom's fall, we would give, everything
Savior, Betrayer
Anticipation stills the scene
Through the threshold into arms unseen
Secrets culled from the flame
Ancient oaths to our will invade
Onward to undo the bonds, ordained and conspired
No tyrannous shadow shall linger over, and conquer that which is desired
In tenebrous kingdom of noble beasts, rise up from the mire,
Fell creatures of pallid features summoned forth by bells from blackened spires
No longer to succumb to faith in heavens gate or hell's embrace,
The nameless heathens, plight of reasons,
Vile treason that I've embodied!
Farewell sun...Farewell to all that we have loved...
Ruin is all that I have, left to share
Become the end of this life's, undying years
Within ourselves, a beast looks in the mirror
Close our eyes and watch it, disappear
