Show me pain and agony and I will show you loss Show me hate again Lost in the eyes of deceit willingly exposed, You are no longer man Praying upon the weak, reach out for her because you know she'll cave Violent ecstacy! A thrill of pain a new form of.... excruciating bliss! Find your way into a broken heart there you will now reign Open up the crevices of violence torture her again entrance her with lies seperation anxiety, internal turmoil, she is in your grasp! On her knees lift up her chin last caress... and spit!

This world is dying I can see the fading light The darkness all-encompassing, like the coming twilight Little voices whisper sweet nothings in my ear Valkyries, or angels of death, edging me toward the end In the cold of death I remembered everything The inner Devine flame you brought into my soul The voices continue to whisper Eagerly winning the fight I can feel my body begin to give As the last drops leave my wounds... Lost in deep thought, I see that which I already know I am drowning in the sins of my wrongs Forgive my words, my intent always so pure Did they cause you as much pain as you did to me? finding the right pieces to the puzzle known as you is to unlock the gates to our souls Will you grant me my life's wish...? To be by you forevermore. No more tears, no more pain No more struggle, no more hate. I can not promise you any of those what I can prove to you is that I am... Hollow, forsaken, abandoned my soul lifts itself up off the floor; On the ground, my useless cold body In the air, my lonely soul flies away...
3.
What I thought I had to give away... Was taken from me. Now I know what useless existence is... I am alone, you wield my soul in your vile hands! If I could bring down this knife... I would take my life But my actions are chained to you... You don't care, but you don't want me to! Struggling with life, I drink just to spite To feel, To self-hate! And you still hear my screams As you laugh...Your loyal pet always to return Your slave to malediction. Will you find comfort in silence? When I have no words left to give. No more screams, no more whimpers, Only silent pain. Will you lash me with the slave stick? Or laugh at me again? No! This dance, it has gone on for too long... But here I lay, unable to move! Paralyzed by fear In bondage by pain. Eagerly awaiting your return... Your slave to the end!

We ride the river styx flowing freely through the deep we ride the tides of whats to come Your desolation shall know fear for your time... is near Eleven demons sleep A taste of death for thee Your fears will be reborn A soul will disappear Watch us all drift away in the darkness, Chasing dreams from this journey to death Drifting off through the haze in the orchards only Satan guiding our way... Tortured screams from the heavens above us Satan laughing as we all decay We shall all become death in the morning waste no time pondering your fate!
5.
You know there's nothing left when death takes both of us I won't turn away from this truth Our paths will cross again All we need is time Will you take hold of my hand as I reach out for you? The reality is so harsh, so cold and bleak In times of doubt remember I'm right here. The paths of hate are painted in blood (Ours...) Embrace your pain let all become clear Only you control your destiny! Through silent tears and promises The bonds that hold us are forever trve! I know you hate, and love is weak I chose my path of frugality, never wanting (someone) I chose to close the doors to find inner peace Now here you are, a light in darkness. The inner Devine flame to banish my fears No more sorrow, no more anguish No more wandering the Earth in search of death. I want to be your fantasy, your escape, your everything. I want to live by your side eternally. I want to die knowing your smile was from me.

I feel like a tree that has lost all its leaves. A flower, alone, that has bloomed by itself in the wastelands. As if awakening from a dream, expecting someone to be there next to me, but when I open my eyes there is no one there... The snow that lied and eyes that wept. I can no longer tell the difference between trust and deceit. On and on the snow fell upon her lips, with demon eyes that bore into your soul, she speaks. And I can no longer tell if she is alive or at peace... And at her funeral I'll lay a rose and reminisce upon her scent for its been too long and I can not remember just how she smelled... She had raven hair and emerald eyes... and a scent that eludes me.

Suicide. Nervousness. Depression. Deep, dark waters. Endless void. Nothing. A black so pure... Little voices reaching out from the crevices in my thoughts. Laughing. Screaming. Mocking. "Fool. You are so lost!" I endure... But for how long? Bitterness. Resentment. Regret. Acceptance. The sea rises to swallow me. I reached out a hand, pathetically grasping for... No one. Alone. Solitude. A fortress I built. A castle so strong. A citadel. To share my melancholy with darkness... Now these walls weep. They have seen me exposed. Have seen me cry. Have seen me break. My echoing cries resonate within the brick and mortar. The limestone. The wooden doors. Candlelight wanes, burns bright, then fades. A reflection of my will to live. "This castle is ours." I once said... To no one. This castle burns. With no escape from the flames. For I nailed shut these doors. I scream. Touched by embers. The first warmth I've felt in ages... I succumb. These flames are a welcome change from the cold... In the fire I kneel. One portrait stares at me from above. Her... I stare back and smile.
