Poetry of Angels

(The voice of many waters wakes the seraphim
And my eyes begin their weeping
As they break another seal again)

And the dream's in motion
Can you feel it in your eyes
Like a wicked potion
Changing lights that hypnotize

Poetry of angels
Vicious lights upon the floor
Sweet poetry of angels
I know I've seen your face before

And the stifling ocean
Changing ageless with a smile
And the fates implore you
And entrap you all the while

Rays of light shift around your head
Shifting memories of a life that's been forgotten

Meridian

Meridian
In the solace of your mind
Where the lamplight fades to grey
Far beneath the surface of your faith
Asphyxiate the pain

Meridian
But what is at the center of it all
When truth is separated in this crucible?
Meridian
It's in your heart, it's in your soul
The everlasting light won't fade away

The mysteries before your eyes
Concealed within this spell
Pray to the prophets for your retribution
Rabbit's fairy tale
Raise me up in your affirmation
Delight at the sound
Blasphemies and lies and illusions bring me down
Bring me down

Thief of Always

If I confront, evaluate
I know it will retaliate
It will hide until I sleep
And become the thief of always

Always, always...

A rustle from underneath the bed
I dare not look, I'll be misled
And carried into summerland
By the thief of always

Silent chasing me
A hope I can't discern
Invades my privacy
A trust it never earned

The hands will turn and you'll be gone
Hibernating in the walls
To come again when twilight calls
And become the thief of always

Piano Song / The Piano

Oh, something is calling me
Gently from the shadows, I cannot let it go
Oh, where are you leading me
Through coridoors of obscuration that spite my mortal soul

Oh and you will dance
Spinning round the axis that's anchored in my mind
Oh and you will find
This object of your inclination may never possess resolve

(vocoder)

Oh and you will dance
Spinning round the axis that's planted in my mind
Oh and you will find
This object of your inclination may never possess resolve

Oh, something is calling me
Reaching from the shadows, I shall not let it go
Oh, where are you leading me
Through coridoors of obscuration that spite my mortal soul

(vocoder)

Oh, something is calling me
Screaming from the shadows, I will not let it go
Oh, where are you leading me
Through coridoors of obscuration that spite my mortal soul

I feel the urge to kneel

King of Lies

I can't forget the words
I still recall the lamplight moon
Purgatory shore
Taken from my home

King of lies
I've heard them all, and that's the truth
And I retaliate
King of lies
I'm the slow-witted youth that knows that it's too late
King of lies

I still remember glares
Gleaming off the foreign shore
Throw them in the cage
Give them a new hope
There is still a chill
Something in the night that moves
Know me by my name
My soul is disease

Exile

Freedom is much deeper than the sea
Pride, stricken from the heart of me

Let's fall beneath the wheels of history today
Let's fall from heaven, take its offspring as our prey

As my wings crash through the ocean
I was love before I lost my honour
Remember me in glory
Not on fire eternally

So I shut my eyes and turn away
Hide away, away from the morning sun
Never knowing what tomorrow may bring

Strength caused the vanity in me
Greed cost our ranks my treachery
Exiled, my belief lay crushed for all time
Brothers who agreed with me fell not far behind

Valhalla

There is a way to valhalla from here
It starts with the moonlight and ends with a tear
This is a path that no one should take
It's racked with the torment of souls as its bait

Take the world from me
I could never see the sky again
Take the world from me
Let me see the moon again (x2)

There is a path to the cave close to here
It's hidden from vision but closer to fear
It's not a place that I long to see
The change of its occupant from destiny

Divinity

So this is how it feels inside
When your inner child has died
Last night I dreamt of marbled walls
And Angels' voices
A place where I could hide
Dark and cold inside
To reach the sun
And touch their voices

But I see no light to lead my way
So I shut my eyes
And dream about the words of your
Divinity
Grey skies above
And the sun won't change this light in me
Your divinity
Grant to me
Divinity

So you think it's over
But the memory remains
Words that will not heal
And the night grows colder
But with every drop of rain
The truth will be revealed

And as the lies all melt away
I'll see
Let me see the light of day
Through your divinity
I will face the truth this time
And the sun won't change the light in me
Your divinity
Grant to me
Divinity

Teach these weary eyes to see
Just kill the sight
For the light
I will take the blame
There's a heart that falls on me
There's a light
I will face the truth this time
Divinity

Tempest in the Spark

Fly with guidance from the breeze
Fly from sky your light doth tease

Soul search your heart has lied
Curse the sky for tears you've cried
Soul search your careless dreams
Know the light's not what it seems

Fall upon the prey you seek
Peer inside the mind it speaks

Fleeting like a word from
The Tempest in the Spark

Lycanthropy

Standing on the precipice
Peering through the fading light
Change the course with the hunter's blood (?)
Take the life, break the bond (?)

Lycanthropy (x2)

Drink the joy of terror for me (?)
(...) the heart and see (?)
Within the lie of ancient creed (?)
(...) fulfill the deed (?)

Feel the bullet in the flesh
Feel you wicked shape regress
Christ (...) appears to own
Till another moon is shown

Oh there are no regrets in this cold ageless winter
This is the hell we recreate

The Haunting

Lightning lights features of a church in the street
Then there's nothing when the strike is gone
Regret makes many faces in a scene that we all know
Buildings we are for some reason drawn

Play the music box and be forgiven
Tell the light it must come to an end

The haunting is a part of me
These eyes that act as windows for the ghost inside of me

Reflection of a torment
Get a glimpse before it's gone
Fade in to the floor before its day
Sit there in the window 
Make me think of other times
When we thought there was another way

Play the music box and be forgiven
Flee from the living hells that you've been living
