Welcome Black

Shadows grow into night
I wait for you in fading light
And through the day there's no love lost
Star-crossed lovers of the dusk
Hear the final cry of day as sunset dies away
And we welcome you to the bloodlust

Wasted Hero
08:18

You take a step out from the ledge
Waiting below, a bed of snow
A dish that’s best served cold
Now falling fast, these thoughts your last
How cruel the jest, to live depressed
The circus is over it's time to go home
Find yourself searching, yearning, hurting
Nothing to say or feel
Soul is full, final blow
Black sheep of the family fading
Impact severe, you disappear
And tell yourself it's for the best
Alone, is that all you've known?
Find yourself hating, freezing, falling
Nothing to think or do
Soul is old, ready to go
Black sheep of the family fading
So far below, a wasted hero
Say nothing of the rest
The last laugh is the best
Find yourself tearing, fearing, leaving
Shock that leaves you stunned
But the show, it must go on
Black sheep of the family fading
Bold, you've gone so far, so far down
A wasted life, falling down
So far below, a wasted hero
Say nothing of the rest
The last laugh is the best

Shadows grow over your own
A bitter chill descends, are you sure you are alone?
Such rage, it can defy the grave
Don't tread on me, for you it's too late to step lightly
Now you're hellbound, guilty (fool me once)
Hellbound and guilty (take my pride but never twice)
You are the key, malice unlocked from the cage
I'm going to...
I'm going to haunt you when I die
And I will watch you, watch you cry
No sooner than I've closed my eyes
My spirit will begin to rise
And this a promise I will keep
Malicious target on your back
Hunted by something in black
Too late to regret your misdeed
I'm going to...
I'm going to haunt you when I die
As you sleep I reach out for thee knife in my back
Now you're hellbound, guilty (fool me once)
Hellbound and guilty (take my pride but never twice)
You are the key, malice unlocked from the cage
I'm going to...
I'm going to haunt you when I die
And I will watch you, watch you cry

Aurora Australis

Down from the trees and down further still
Falling stars on display
Gaze up high, what lights above so holy now
Means nothing to closed eyes
Skin grows pale, and no faith
Stuck inside you fail
Holding the spirits in, the truth it does reveal
The nightmare is retold
Stranded alone, a future night
Sailed on darkened seas
To foreign shores and let free
Days go by and life spills down the page
Do you really feel awake?
Can you hear what fate awaits?
Set free with nothing to believe
No heritage to seek
And I, a missing link I feel
In chains inside of me
Uncultured now, a modern man
Is born from time and pain
Southern cross guides the way
Auroras light the path
Knuckles drag coastal shores
Inside I’m still the same
A pile of bones under moonlight
Masquerade of graves
Adaptations of misery
Time alive is nothing if it's grey
Have you heard the latest fame?
Is it the bells of your doomsday?
Set free with nothing to believe
No heritage to seek
And I, a missing link I feel
In chains inside of me

Spleen
08:20

What is the measure of a man bent down?
An eye for an eye
Drunk far beyond the point of blind
Broken bottles decorate the wall
The lesson learned
One more soul to burn
The spirits are circling me tonight
Anaesthetic pool
Reflecting back what I despise
As you arrive I'm no longer here
Into my head
Completely disappeared
It's gone on too long
Up from the grave, rising from the bed that I have made
Liver heals the pain but the spleen is where the penance is paid
Another final breath
With you by my side I can feel like I’ve really died
Blood and red wine, my spirit on fire
We take to the lawless night
Ten tons of man, a skull in my hand
It's witching hour, you know it's too late
She's a curse in a dress, a poison temptress
I won't get away tonight
My mind is long gone, I cannot go on
But misfortune, it favours the slave
Down the wrong paths
Chasing too fast
Memories won't fade
Endlessly played out
It's gone on too long
So long
Up from the grave, rising from the bed that I have made
Liver heals the pain but the spleen is where the penance is paid
Yeah another final breath
With you by my side I can feel like I’ve really died

Victim of a Vampire

Endlessly calling out
Beyond my hand I feel you in the shadows alone
Close below in darkness
There lies a love once known to me but now it's gone
Say it, release me from this pain
Make it true again
Reaching my arms through to you
Red roses on darkened soil
Erotic vines caress the lines of statues engraved
Hear your words still echoing
Deep in the mist a kiss is blown from frozen blue lips
Scream it, release me from this pain
It must be you again
Reaching my arms through to you
Reaching out for you
Like angels fierce and tawny-eyed
Back to your chamber I will glide
Hither where thou art wont to sleep
Amid the shadows hollow and deep
O darksome beauty you shall swoon
At kisses colder than the moon
And fondlings like a snake who coils
Sinuous round the grave he soils
And with my kiss your blood I take
In lustful sin a life erased
The fanfare to eternal sleep
A piercing scream as I bite deep
At the end, is she there?
See right through, is she there?
Black and blue, is she there?
At the end

Falling Star

All alone but together we're here at last
A violent zone, looking up to long black clouds
You wish upon a star
The icy seas we shared are in the past
Beyond the trees a creature fades to black
This moment lives forever
Blacked out, torn down
Your lies met mine and blew them away
Insides split in half
Years of memories lost again
Drag you down, it's taken so far low, and sinking fast
You march towards your final day
The waters cold, we're so far down, no light above
You wished upon a falling star
Scales out, armour on
Let's see who sinks or swims in frame
Insides split in half
A candle snuffed, a new bloodstain
A star is born
Hearts desire
Frail and hope fading
When fate is unkind to those who love
Lightning strikes waters blue
It makes no difference who you are
No fate is too extreme for you
