Of Empires Forlorn

These empty years, in sadness repose What once were joys Now have become sorrows I drank them all away Once, I held hopes, loves, and dreams... Now they're sunken into the sea and I've no one left to save me from drowning eternally I drank them all away I drank myself away.

Damned, I crawled valleys silenced with death Through the seas of carnage, over mountains of regret Reaching solace only to behold barren wastes endless Just when I needed you the most You had forsaken me To this kingdom of ghosts Bleak are the skies above this ruin I've found no solace in cathedrals fallen I am so far from the light and warmth of Heaven To the hell of myself Alone I am damned To weep for you Now, above this vast ruin alone I stand All light and hope has fled my kingdom and land Betrayed by bride and brethren, My heart bursts in your hands Forlorn empires My kingdoms damned Forlorn empires I am damned.

I hear your voice in the wind Haunting me once again Maybe our dream is over But the sorrow never ends I hear your voice in the wind Haunting me once again I knew someday you would leave And abandon me to forever grieve.

Sunk into the corner Where the forlorn drift to die A broken man is staring into his glass With weeping eyes Drinking away this empty life I'm bleeding to death inside Torn apart by bladed words In sorrow capsized I gave myself completely and deeply But that was never enough for you More alone than ever, Your knives have finally pierced through (my heart) Drinking away this lonely life I'm bleeding to death inside Torn apart by bladed words In sorrow capsized Now, I know I will die alone Cold and broken... Now, I know this Hell is my destiny you took everything from me...everything... I am the desolate one - Bleeding You took everything from me...everything... Drinking away this waste of life I'm bleeding to death inside Torn apart by bladed words In sorrow capsized I gave my heart up to your knives I'm bleeding to death inside.

Mark how our shadow, Mark Movits, mon freer One small darkness encloses How gold and purple that shovel there To rags and rubbish disposes Charon beckons from tumultuous waves Then trice this ancient digger of graves For thee ne'er grape skin shall glister Wherefore my Movits come help me to raise A gravestone over our sister Even desirous and modest abode Under the sighing branches Where time and death, a marriage forebode Twixt beauty and ugliness ashes To thee ne'er jealousy findeth her way Nor happiness footstep, swift to stray Flitteth amid these barrows Even enmity armed, as thou serest this day Piously breakout her arrow The little bell echoes the great bells groan Robed in the door the preceptor Noisome with quipsters prayerful moan Blesses those who enter The way to this temple city of tombs Climbs amid roses yellowing blooms Fragments of mouldering biers Till black-clad each mourner his station assumes Bows there deeply in tears.

Heaven weeps with my sorrow Through the clouds' veil of black lace An infinity of angels Share the tear streams I pour away Within the storms of sadness I'll eternally remain Love is lost forevermore You are mourned by this rain Forever Weeping.
