Now The World lyrics

Summer I painted, a scene, that lit the stars for me,
Said, "I can erase it for you dear."
That summer created, those words, that came to life in three,
They were denied by you.
Summer I laid down, below, the glitter adorned night,
And silently sparkled, my own way.
Summer I laid down, by you, and shared my frail light,
You gave the dark to me.

I looked inside,
(I)
To find,
(Wanted)

Reiver's Music lyrics

I gave up fighting.
I've come to see these halos.
Am I now worse off for this one night?
All come enchanted, welcomed by the halos.
All the while we know those enamored never miss us because we are all now in dying days, hear nothing and see no one.
Nothing is all we own.

I've taken to speaking words that only they know.
How soon I did see, all here is unseen.

I gave up trying.

Dream Of Waking lyrics

I feel it washing, over me,
slow poisonous tide.
Pins and needles, dance on me
sickness undefined.
Now I'm afraid, to face the sky,
please someone hear my haunting cry.

Please let them waken me, please let them waken me,
please let them waken me, please let them waken me.

Go!

With eyes sewn shut I still can see, I end up somewhere,
all that is surrounding me, somewhere in between,

Battled lyrics

I can't think and i can't speak!
My mind is not my own!
Feeling like my will is weak!
Cannot find the strength to go on!
I've battled! i'm fucking battled man!
I've battled! i've battled yeah!
I've battled! i'm fucking battled man!
I've battled! i can't think and i can't speak!
My mind is not my own!
Feeling like my will is weak!
Cannot find the strength to go on!

Nephilim lyrics

Swing through sadness

Tears of joy

Curse the sunlight

Arsenic for the girls and boys.
Drink the madness

Smoke so coy

Smile injection

Serum of a will destroyed

Serum of a will-

Serum of a will destroyed

The seasons change-change without me.

I remain ...

In shadows growing wings.

The spirit song still surrounds me

In refrain ...

In shadows growing wings.

Morningstar lyrics

I saw a star beneath the stairs glowing through the melting walls.
Who will be the first to begin their fall?
Or will we become one?
Am I the star beneath the stairs?
Am I a ghost upon the stage?
Am I your anything?

I saw a star beneath the stairs glowing bright before descent
and in the morning there is nothing left but what's inside of me.

Am I the star beneath the stairs?

The Despair Factor lyrics

Along the path where the stream is talking

I breathe the mist and continue walking

The wood it whispers in a language of it's own

As a sigh escaped my lips
I feel the light caress of fingertips

that steal away the breath and leave me on my own

Waiting by the stairs, Waiting, I despair

Waiting by the stairs, Waiting, by the...

(my whole life is a dark room,

6 To 8 lyrics

Six figures enter; they've come to destroy the world.
They've called together this storm almost every night.
I awake in another place.
A familiar voice with a stranger's face speaks more unheard words.
What new friends will the day bring?
One for one thousand acquainted.
What new home will the night bring?
When it all comes down you just throw the bones.

Wester lyrics

I can feel you waiting for me as the sun retreats to the hills and I,
beneath the blanket of a burning sky, wrap myself within.
Embraced by dead leaves as the rain leaves trails of black down my face,
I creep through the twilight to that
hidden place beyond the lonely.
I'll meet you tonight in the whispers when no one's around.
Nothing can stop us now.

Catch A Hot One lyrics

Let's tap your heart so we can paint the walls
and see if anybody likes the tone or the pain.
The hungry eyes waiting for life flash, now they're gonna see it.
Open your veins so we can make a pool and bathe
and see if anyone complains of the stain.
Let's strip you down so we can see you old scars.
Now you're gonna feel it.
Show me how to shine now.
Have you ever turned to dust?

A Story At Three lyrics

Again and again they blend into one,
my father the morning pushes through moonlight love.
So what's sleep? Sleep.
I'm tired, so tired, but it seems that there's someone here with me.
We are the wakeful, wry, watchful.
We're awaiting.
Deathless ones.
A story at three with the shrillest of cries.
My mind fights with the sparkles in the corner of my eyes.

Of Greetings And Goodbyes lyrics

Now ending discreetly, just like a hidden sin,
as I go under please tuck me in.
Make me invisible.
This hidden explosion calls for a wandering cast with no direction.
Enter all monsters let us twist another fairy tale.
Go kill the lights, we'll glow till morning comes.
I'll say goodnight and bow to everyone.
Then we go under.
The beauties are sleeping as fruit just rots away.

Sacrifice Theory lyrics

Hear one thousand screams.
Hear one thousand voices.
A solitary echo.
Feel one thousand pains,
But one is receiving a bloody invitation.
Do you want to feel the warmth?
To taste the life, to taste the life
Do you want taste the life?
To taste the life, to taste the life flow?
Go, Go

Feel one thousand lost,
sinking into soft skin.
Ingest rejuvenation.
One to consume,
One to renew.

Ever And A Day lyrics

Lie in comfort of sweet calamity with nothing left to lose.
Like in the darkness, I'm slowly drowned to sleep
nothing left to lose.
Three tears I've saved for you.
I'd retrace the steps that lead me here but nothing lives behind me.
So I lie in this field bathed in the light that loves me,
with nothing left to lose.
Three tears I've saved for you.
Will you be my beloved?

The Nephilim lyrics

Swing through sadness

Tears of joy

Curse the sunlight

Arsenic for the girls and boys.
Drink the madness

Smoke so coy

Smile injection

Serum of a will destroyed

Serum of a will-

Serum of a will destroyed

The seasons change-change without me.

I remain ...

In shadows growing wings.

The spirit song still surrounds me

In refrain ...

In shadows growing wings.

The Lost Souls lyrics

(If you can't stand) upon the water

I will see you on the ocean floor.

(When you blink) do you only find

The misery between the lines?
Then take my hand and walk with me.

Come to me, your sanctuary.

I'll gladly accept the gift that I've been granted.

(If you) feel fine, then give it just a little time

I'm sure you'll contract my disease.

Chorus:

Smile lyrics

Overwhelmed with a deep repulsion for sights seen so commonly,
now I have come to be the walking enmity.
Assimilate into a culture of post morality, from what I've seen, I hate humanity.
Rot with repulsion. I'll write the world a brand new song.
Look upon your bleak creation,
but is it truly me that's to be the human blasphemy?
I'll set the world on fire and,

Day Of The Phoenix lyrics

I remember when I was told of story of crushed velvet,
Candle wax, and dried up flowers
The figure on the bed all dressed up in roses, calling
Beckoning to sleep,
Offering a dream

Words were as mystical as purring animals
The circle of rage
The ghosts on the stage appeared
The time was so tangible, I’ll never let it go
Ghost stories handed down, reached secret tunnels below

Girl's Not Grey lyrics

I'll lay me down tonight much further down, swim in the calm tonight.
This art does drown.

What follows me as the whitest lace of light just begs to be imbrued
What follows will swallow whole.
What follows has lead me to this place where I belong, with all erased.

All insects sing tonight, the coldest sound.
I'd send god's grace tonight, could it be found.

Battled [hidden track] lyrics

I can't think and I can't speak
My mind is not my own
Feeling like my will is weak
Cannot find the strength to go on
I've Battled - I've fucking battled, man
I've Battled - I've battled, yeah
I've Battled - I've fucking battled, man
I've Battled you

I can't think and I can't speak
My mind is not my own
Feeling like my will is weak
Cannot find the strength to go on

Dream Of Waking [vinyl only] lyrics

I feel it washing over me, the slow poisonous tide.
Pins and needles dance on me. Sickness undefined.
Now I'm afraid to face the sky. Please someone hear my haunted cries.
Please them waken me. (X4)

With eyes sewn shut I still can see (I end up somewhere)
All that is surrounding me (Somewhere between)na
Between a dream (I end up nomewhere)
And motionless reality, will I forever life?
