Serpent's Embrace

Once again, Jekyllish I follow the trail of fireflies and diamond eyes And moving like a fog, I starve to raise Sleepwalking hunter in the night Step into an ongoing nightmare Go - ride into blistering trails below - tear heart and soul Stop - for jekyllsih I'll haunt you, though A sleepwalking hunter in despair - take care of you I brave for sin - Sheeding my skin Curtains fall over my shroud, around my wrists the orchestra plays Frozn, this bosom aches, piercing lullabies, piercing preys Only cellos, black robes and gowns, dimly dance for air in grief And looming portraits of a mother gazing at my inner pleas Fear me for Jekyllish I'll haunt your trail of fireflies and diamond eyes Moving like a fog, I starve too raise. Sleepwalking fiend, Caligarish sorrow I invoke the Queen of spades... and slowly breathe the verse of fate I reap the mists of grace to bid farewell to faith Clenched cries, her drowning sweet hands bygone, waving and fleeting Dull slave to my mournful twists she bled, like a rainbow leaking Wax victims in a ritual, echoes to quench my frailty at dawn The Fifth Horseman I become, riding those whispers spawned Fear me for Jekyllish I'll haunt your trail of fireflies and diamond eyes Moving like a fog, I starve too raise. Sleepwalking fiend, Caligarish sorrow Soon forgotten faces shine on shattered mirrors, remnants of rape Supremely, skin cellos play the ghost of melodies and darkest shade Fear me for Jekyllish I'll haunt your trail of fireflies and diamond eyes Moving like a fog, I starve too raise. Sleepwalking fiend, Caligarish sorrow A warm tune for claws and chaos I breed the rust of wind While, holding back loss, shame and tears I brave for sin - Shedding my skin

She was the dawn of a new day The crystal voice inside my head And at times she showed me eden Untrodden paths, a sky that's bleeding Serpent's embrace Serpent's embrace Darkness waiting in her eyes, her gaze Kissed by a fraudulent snake A soul eater - Serpent's embrace Serpent's embrace She was the dawn of a new day but all it brought was pure dismay The sky and sun turned black Nailed black as ebony And there was no turning back No turning back A golden sun in past times, floating high above Looking back from now, a collection of strange days for, love And at times I realized Everything must surely end - some day Darkness waiting in her eyes Darkness waiting in her gaze She gave birth to a worm of lies A place of shadows mourn A soul eater - Serpent's embrace Every dawn of a new day Too far away, but death is cheap There's a giant, black sun bellow Maybe just below the ground, about six feet deep - Beneath the undertow Beneath the undertow

I have seen how the same human souls Wander through different bodies Drifting through the centuries When flesh decayed For ages drifting in the wind Through landscapes unknown Among worlds where the suns never die Where moonlight is bright as day Beyond timeless void Beyond all the spheres In a realm where the powers of earth Are bound in the fathomless sky An endless journey Perpetual suffering When heartbeat has died And earthly life has ended The trip through the emptiness begins Vultures free your bones From flesh and blood Make your spirit soar Your soul lost in space Struggling for a new life Awaiting rebirth To be captures In a human body again

On a though I'd rest Like a sigh in a glorious gloom I crawl under her skin To divinely kiss her sin I just claim on my purity In external community I'm not searching for (any) solutions But trying to avoid confusions Till fades the very earth and sky Your heart completely broken And all the world hangs on a sigh A word but partly spoken I'm looking for resistance And you'll feel my persistance If you are here to obey me You get what you deserve When thoughts pursue me Can't decide what's true in me Till fades the very earth and sky Your heart completely broken And all the world hangs on a sigh A word but partly spoken I'm looking for resistance And you'll feel my persistance To disguise desire's utopia To feed THE emotional idea

To not forget our loving, should I a sign implore? I'd ask for you, but dearest, you are your own no more Nor do I beg a flower from in your golden hair Forgetfulness, beloved is but my single player Oh what a sad sensation, when joy that soon did wane Not swift with it to vanish, but ever here remain! When through tits life to wander it has been writ, it seem A dream made out of shadow, a shadow made of dream No matter when I die, this or some later day My wish is out of the mind of all to I pass away And you forget the dream that our two hearts endears When you loom back, beloved, upon the faded years Let in the depths of shadow my memory be gone As though we midst our loving each other had not known A chant of lamentation within cold walls of chime To beg for me in weeping the peace of endless time As though those hours of wonder in fact we did not live That I so deeply love you dear one can you forgive? My face turned to the desert you left me all alone And cold beneath my eyelids my eyes have turned to stone And when at last death's soil my body does reclaim Then who will know me or know from whence I came? Let in the depths of shadow my memory be gone As though we midst our loving each other had not known A chant of lamentation within cold walls of chime To beg for me in weeping the peace of endless time While then... should they my body into the gutter throw Still that would be far better than what I suffer now Afar of in distance a flock of crows arise And darken all the heavens before my sightless eyes Beyond the earth's steep margin a hurricane does start Flinging to the world my dust and to the wind my heart Yet as in spring the blossom do you remain the while With gentle eyes and humid and tender, childish smile So much a child, yet seeming each day to younger grow And of my fate know nothing as I too nothing know My face turned to the desert you left me all alone And cold beneath my eyelids my eyes have turned to stone And when at last death's soil my body does reclaim Then who will know me or know from whence I came? While then... should they my body into the gutter throw Still that would be far better than what I suffer now

One wish alone have I In some calm land beside the sea to die Upon its strand That I forever sleep The forest near, a heaven near Stretched over the peaceful deep That no one weeps my end Nor for me grieves But let the autumn lend Tongues to the leaves No candles shine Nor tomb I need, instead Let them for me a bed Or twigs entwine When brooklet ripples fall With murmuring sound And moon is found Among the pine trees tall While softly rings The wind it's trembling chime And over me the lime In blossem flings As I will then no more a wanderer be Let them with fondness store my memory And Lucifer the while Above the pine, good comrade mine Will on me gently smile? In mournful mood The sea sing sad refrain... And I be earth again In solitude

A garden of seeds lost, ashen spirits embrace me in pain Like scars that shed the plague of flames, my thirst awakes Aceless to my feelings, inimicial to my pulse, like disease Sand in my eyes, I am hiding from pleasure, yearning for breeze Draw my bare tears from this melody now that I can't flee Take refuge in me or vanish, my beauty, bring or tear the silk To weave the drops of passion or strike the winds of misfortune Mourning I stand, my senses in abyss, under skies of torture Devour my womb, these obscure roots Release my dying touch, unchain me from my doom I an crawling to feel desire To shape your truth and fire Crawling towards you, with the limbs of a stare To dream a leaf without it's tree, to follow it's silence I hear no sense, but a scream of lips and sighs in vastness A thirteenth shadow in my nightmare you become And it's you in every rain, in every ballet and sun Within my nest I bleed the coming of eves, hollow heart Slave to this blessed state which sends my dreams afar Bear witness to my memories of flesh that will never rise The dice of desperation reveals a black rose lays on my mind Devour my womb, these obscure roots Release my dying touch, unchain me from my doom I am prowling to feel desire To yield to bounds and pyres Crawling towards you, with the limbs of a stare... A thirteenth shadow in my nightmare you become And it's you in every rain, in every ballet and sun Within my nest I bleed the coming of eves, hollow heart Slave to this blessed state which sends my dreams afar

Life sometimes feels like a nightmare When every step you take is a wrong one With only binary choices there Seeming fair? They say that time does slowly heal But memories amplify the pain I feel Forever haunting me, it's so unreal And still we dream... as we walk down the line... We forever sleep Since ages dead inside A plunge red shrine Emotions and hope subside Foul like altar wine Life sometimes into a nightmare When every step you take is a wrong one With only binary choices there Seeming fair? Not when luck has gone And I said Not when luck has gone Living a life beyond light With darkness to pattern my fate Feelings left aside Left with despair and nothing but hate Left to witness The final fall of mankind No outcome of existence Life sometimes even seems like it goes on Still every step you take is a wrong one Maybe you can wake up anytime you like But you can never leave You will never achieve The feeling that life goes on Or are we already gone? Left to witness The final fall of mankind No outcome of existence Floods my heart and mind A lifeless thing in living guise Leaping off to quick demise A blind man in a cave of eternal light Remnants of a dream that fades Life at times is hard to comprehend But every step leads further to the end Still even death is but a guess And darkness weaves with many shades Darkness weaves with many shades Take a look beyond the silver glades See darkness weave with many shades

Once I sat down and pondered About a sense I have wondered I have searched my deep, inner core And I said... to think I shall not anymore... The thought has aged me whole It ruined body, mind and soul Oh, thoughtless if I'd been born Couldn't wail, nor could I've been torn Fetid thought, spawning curse I shouldn't invoke thee anymore Only pain and suffering you brought The worst disappointment you are I'd want to live without knowing In this world or in it's following Since then, misanthropy My alibi you should be And when the grand dark hour falls I'd be far from mankind's calls Into the great wide I would dive Unaware if I am dead or alive! Once I sat down and pondered About a sense I have wondered I have searched my deep, inner core And I said... to think I shall not anymore... Fetid thought, spawning curse I shouldn't invoke thee anymore Only pain and suffering you brought The worst disappointment you are

Endless fear, darkness holds me I don't know if I'm wrong or right Where's my world that I loved so before? All has gone, bleeding and dying I don't know what you have done to me Left me hollow inside, feel like dirt I wanna slam you, just wanna kill you All I want to see is you, lying down in pain Forever I'll hate you Was all that I could say Leaving the ghost of you behind Tears of sorrow I'll never spill again Scratchin your face out of my mind Are you really sure what you wanna be now? It's just a fake to me, yes Fuck yourself and die a painful death I don't need you to love me anymore Get away and leave my life alone One step away from twisting your neck The crown of the human race Fuck you, is it really you Loving you, killing you, loving you Killing you
