The Inheritance of Sin and Shame

The twelve raise their tin horns Into the wake of dawn But as the tides rise they realize The march has long gone home And the lonely melody tunes again To the consonance of the wind As we die, the sun and earth do shine, Will the stars remain if you and I Leave earth like leaves on wind? Like waves in the brine Tin horns make us sleep We never wanted to stay We never wanted to... Like a wreck of time An abandoned ship Beneath us splits the void But we never look back The twelve raise their velvet horns Into the restful hours But as life fades they realize That the march has long gone home And their melody tunes again To the consonance of the wind

With every minute death is nearer Are we not just passengers Aboard a sinking ship? All is lost, memories are distant Into the air you slowly disappear Just to come again as rain And I bathe in your divinity.... I don't know why or how But time kills like the plague And death will have its way The crates have emptied The dreams, washed away But tears still fall They still do... With every minute death rears its ugly end More and more Are we not just passengers caught in a storm? The days have emptied Memories, washed away But tears still fall They still do...

This track is instrumental.

Is this song not instrumental?

Miles of worn out days They pass me like a dream Within their reach Is where I'll never be Piles of happy people I pass them like a shadow Within your gaze That's what I'll always be, Just a shadow..... Miles of worn out days Miles of worn out days They erase me with their stream And within their reach Is where I'll never be Once I lie, I never want to wake up As shadows cast their spells I am yearning for rest And never want to wake up (on my own anymore)..... Miles of long gone days You erase me from your gaze Within your dreams Is where I'll never be

I look upon the lightless sky With drops of sadness from my mourning eye I only heard the reckless waters roar Those ways could not bear me from the shore When withered flowers begin to bloom She loved to dwell in darkness and dismay Deeming herself predestined to do When withered flowers begin to bloom I want to remain unseen in the shadow of her mind

...and thus you poured like heaven wept, From your buds and springs, Cover us in leaves the wind brought They only wanted to leave......... And thus you poured like heaven wept

You shine like the blinding sun With the seas weeping on the shores And the salt spray dashing Against the windows Your gaze lies distant... Where have your thoughts gone off? You shine like the blinding sun With your sorrows hidden away And a face without a heart gazes Upon the portrait that reflects Your sin and shame Where have your thoughts gone off? As a sinless and shameless face Walks among the living unchanged And yet your gaze lies distant And you wish you had never lost your soul To a portrait of sorrow But where does a troubled mind go?

I bleed for you, amber star At the gates of dawn I will bleed again until pale death Takes me into its hands And I am left on my own The moon bleeds with me None has what one wants The sun never crowned the night With the richness of its colours.... The passionate play of your fingers They stir the waters we once knew And the sun is too late again To see me disappear in the rain We all seek something I never sought anything but this
