Tunes for a Twilight Tears for a Lifetime

Your emptiness overwhelms me Thrusts and overtakes me This shrine of black tears Within a vault of black prayers The universe caves in I´m on fire Let the end begin Take courage! And when nothing remains No love nor pain In this illusion This tomb of seasoned dye The universe caves in I´m on fire Let the end begin Take courage! From the slow decay of life To the galloping empty days I would have flung myself in the fire But i hesitate And the antimatter within my heart From this - nothing leaves nothing enters The useless lingering and severed love This lit the parade (Possibly something French) A carrion flower dressed in the sun A blinding image bathed in providence And should you stray from the path You shall know them by their fruits I should have flung myself in the fire I really should I should have flung myself in the fire I really should

As from a dream I woke Saw a blackflamed sun A black speared sun Shining on everyone Hail hail hail these runes they will prevail Hail hail hail if nothing else And beneath an alter Covered in oakleaf Powerful runes I saw Sowil Twaz & Elhaz inverted Hail hail hail these runes they will prevail Hail hail hail if nothing else As from a dream I woke Heard a whisper from the past Among the trees among the shadows Great runes of secrecy Hail hail hail these runes they will prevail Hail hail hail if nothing else

Shine black algiz My heart lies in the woods Head buried in hands Path gilded in fog Shine black algiz My name entwined in one Roots dug deep in the snow And arms reaching for the sun Let this be a charm Black wreathe of faith Shall I pour out my heart Shall I fall upon your sword Shine black algiz This world loves a coward Love smothered in emptiness And will still born Shine black algiz If this should be the end Let it shine with clarity And loneliness divine Let this be my will Black wreathe of thorn I will never pour out my heart I would fall upon your sword

I crave for you And the incense of night To bathe In the flame of your light Cold Pale in sorrow In the tears that followed The years that swallowed The innocence of my love I crave for you

So it ends as it began With a sigh goodbye Down in the mire Underneath love's ugly pyre And I miss you and i miss you Always in my heart But we push forward, plunge onward Always towards the end A love a caress Unreturned You stick your hand in the fire And I know how the story goes But I miss you and I miss you Always in my heart But we push forward, plunge onward Always further apart Did you forget me Or remember with unease I fall in submission To this life's disease And these years have passed This love now gone I fall on my knees I kneel in awe How cold this heart has become And I miss you and I miss you Always in my heart But we push forward, plunge onward Always towards the end Yes, I miss you and I miss you Always in my heart But we push forward, plunge onward Always towards the end

Oh my love, do you see what I see? A world gone down in misery Empty souls, friend turned foe Emptiness is rock 'n' roll Oh my love, do you see what I see? Empty lives hailed on TV My heart is heavy, my thoughts are numb I feel like my last day has surely come Oh, hold my hand, my love Oh, hold my hand Oh, my love, do you see my heart? Broken, torn, fallen apart On that final day when night drags me down Will you be the last sticking around? Oh, my love, will you stand your ground? When they come to take you away from me Oh, my love, will you stand your ground? When they come to take me away from you Oh, hold my hand, my love Oh, hold my hand

Lucifer walk with me Lucifer inflame this heart Lucifer embrace this soul For I am fallen just like you I gave in To life's bitter promises Yes I gave in But not again Lucifer embrace my soul I've lost everything - all I love Lucifer we share the dark We are brothers you and I I gave in To life's bitter promises Yes I gave in But not again Lucifer share this wine Bitter and black like my love Lucifer share my wine One last toast before I go I gave in To life's bitter promises Yes I gave in But not again

There´s a sunspot in my eye There´s a guild of thieves that weighs me down There´s a darkness within our reach And roots that reach beneath And in this darkness shall we crawl? Overwhelmed by the void Conjuring darkness black like coal Let the fire hatch out let the pain unfold Our life passes like idle chatter Life ebbs out like children stutter There´s a sunspot in my soul A millstone round my neck and a Judas's kiss There´s a darkness coming in A golden troth for your emptiness And we stray through infinite nothing Haunted by our deadweight dreams Conjuring darkness black like coal Let the fever hatch out let the moth unfold Our life passes like idle chatter Life ebbs out like children stutter Where there´s a will there´s a way But there´s no will and the path led astray... Where there´s a will there´s a way But there´s no will and the path led astray... Conjuring darkness black like coal Let the fire hatch out let the pain unfold Our life passes like idle chatter Life ebbs out like children stutter Conjuring darkness black like coal Let the fever hatch out let the moth unfold Our life passes like idle chatter Life ebbs out like children stutter

Behold the stars They all burn They´ll all burn out And we are dust Dust in timeless space And love is a flame Devouring moths And we are dust Yes we´re dust in time and space Take a look at the sun It will fall will you run? Oh don´t you know? We´re lost in endless pain

Here's an ode for you and I A chant and a love that never sway In the winter snow in the summer sun By the rising moon By the setting dawn By our will and misanthropy By the road left behind and what will be Through blood and tears And nights without measure Here's an ode for you and I A chant and a love that never sway In the winter snow in the summer sun By the rising moon By the setting dawn

Lost in emptiness - the serpent's in the heart Rivers red and deep - to throw me into sleep Advent of loneliness - to fall into autumn's womb A cold and vile embrace - as winter leaves her pain The devil sings along Winds will gain and gain The devil sings so long And all the tears shall pour in vain Lost in emptiness - in the shadow of your flame Nothing will heat the wound - nothing will break the curse This pointless elegy - the dark which covers me Lost in emptiness - this dirge which follows me The devil sings alone From his golden abyss The devil sings so long I've never felt pain quite like this Lost In Emptiness Lost In Emptiness Lost In Emptiness Lost In Emptiness

Wonderful wonderful sun Turn doubt into dust Wonderful wonderful sun Your colours so like blood And from the essence Into the heart And the question of will A corona a halo of fire Of blood of desire This season we initiate Purify! Retaliate! And from the essence From the solitude And a question of faith Wonderful wonderful sun Turn doubt into dust Wonderful wonderful sun Your colours so like blood And from the essence From the solitude It's a question of heart
