Enigma Of The Absolute 8. Words Of The Fly 9. Temptress 10. The Burden 1. When Silence Cries... When silence cries... is it what I feel? -or is it what you really long to be? Depression grows again, to you I pledge my guilt Deserted fields I strole -there is no relief The bleeding night, surrounds you like a darkened veil -The echoes wake my sleeping thoughts The distant voice... it cries again -I realise it`s not a dream, like a journey in solitude Ignore what I once did say When silence cries... The pleasant feeling of something dying (she said) -Upon the innocent it will rise once again A tear I spill, in silence -Punish the word of wisdom that I once gave When silence cries... A passage of dreams -A passage of dreams and memories Tiny little screams -Feeble yet reveiled Fading now is my Oblivion 2. The Daughters Of Innocense Climb within me, read my satisfaction because it is the strongest of sins that makes me what I am. Live through me, feel my satisfaction because you see, it is me who make them what they are. Leave me now, an innocent soul Wanna get out of your grip. Look up to the stars, freedom between angels cry because of their guilt. Climb within me... 3. The Day We Drowned Once again I am drowning... in this lake of betrayal and lies So who are you to speak, when they have already tightened the grip? The creations of ones destiny. and meanwhile I drown, in the corners of your eyes. To be the saddest of sins (would you be?) Carry me to the fields of lust, as you stand here withering I feel so alive. My soul has been sacrificed to the "demons" of betrayal and I feel strangled to act in lies. Tighter, tighter, tighter oh, is it hope in sight? Is it hope in sight? Redefine, and welcome the vast immortals Redefine, and head back to the tainted waters... 4. Mournful Pigeon Infinite oblivion... beyond all words and thoughts Desires sent to sleep, to the dawn of knowledge comes A dismal gleam in their frozen eyes, gathering of the beloved ones Bleeding portraits on velvet walls Serene divinity passing on Hiding are the deceitful ones They have no courage, they have no feelings Weakness and greed the most Now my sighs have been answered, they have drained me of all life The passion of the tragedies, described beyond my loss Feels like flying Far away, out of confusion till clearness... I can see the tears, falling... from your eyes. Try to wipe them, try to wipe them away But they were frozen, they were frozen to your chin Can`t control my feelings Feels like I`m blind and stuck out in the dark with no trees around me Don`t know what`s passing me by Why now? It`s time to say farewell Leaves fall from the dying tree again Emotions brought to life By me My dearest pigeon is mournful yet again. 5. Swallowed Tears Icy blue and numb I crawl The red heaven gapes at me As I embrace the pale, my final thoughts will sail... -and now depression flows from your eyes On my acheing wounds you spill your tears But by my own hand, I drown your selfish dream You seek, not finding... the eternal portraits They await me like the night as this shivering candle holds my only light Icy blue..... 6. Illusion? [Instrumental] 7. Enigma Of The Absolute My shadow follows me everywhere I go Please take it away, `cause I wanna go Alone... Bring forth the agony of your inner thoughts Far out in the forest lies a secret that I hid when I was little Wonder if it`s still out there? The past, I try to forget and nearly forgotten Behold, as they are stepping towards us The saint, and the sinful father Can`t he reject the temptation of life, as he stops and speaks to me "The temptation of life makes sence to me". His mouth dripping with insanity Stupendous scars of agony? Heal these scars, set in time to heal for me Stupendous scars of agony? He tried to caress the lost ones, forever encaged... Read my life as I read yours A second chance for everyone? Heal these scars, set in time to heal for me Tell me I was wrong, and I will relive it. 8. Words Of The Fly I heard a strong voice shout out my name But when I turned around no one was there It was just an illusion I had that they should come back one day Embrace yourselves! Watch them collide with destiny The sinner`s hand strangles them, forever... Arise, when the chance appears The sinner`s hand embraces them And so, arise on the Trail of Tears (I know) the sinners all rose Persuation falls on the Trail of Tears The sinners all rose. 9. Temptress In the very heart of your lustrous dream bloody candles being lit by you I am your child from this moment on waiting for the dream to awake -sweet dreams my dearest, the candles will end one day Wondering... I am gazing towards the stars As I hear an angels voice in my head... it sings so softly and so clear Wanna fly away, wanna fly away wanna fly away into the skies They have now fallen Reaching out to us, a dividing hand Bid to me this endless mystery Open wide for me to see a shade of what was never to be -living in a fantasy world far beyond reality Bury me... with all of them Eternal temptress 10. The Burden The centre of dreams deprives me of things that should have been As I wonder towards my final sin there is no one to explain what I feel Will you see to that I will arrive? Feeling bitter and blue as I lay down my heart and even though you know that it is me you will continue to live out my sin The fact however, I can not confirm the secrets that once were lost with the burden that was you Dreams in a fantasy of reality that is where you will find me Now, you have noticed that I have arrived so when will you depart from my heart? You say that I have been carried away, and I suddenly realise it is all here to stay.
