Tempestuous Fall The Stars Would Not Awake You 1. Old & Grey Laid, to rest like the roses at night They awake at the break of dawn But I will not Wait for me, to decay, light the way This dark misery clouds your dreams Wait and see Faint, like my lifeless flesh Live and breathe, only cease, old and grey Your thoughts will tempt, just refrain The blood stains Take another breath, near your chest, it stabs away Layer by layer, eroding, it grips so tight Thoughts will deepen, sinking hope, enticing despair Tears so salty, corroding, your vision impaired Taste your tears, drying your skin, parching thirst Thoughts forgetting, time is flowing, years wasted Old and grey, eyes betray, death so slow Lights wil fade, but still your heart hurts Come to me, come and stay, shine the way This dark solemn path, all your dreams Come with me. 2. Beneath a Stone Grave For years I have laid Surrounded by silence Undisturbed for years In a death so peaceful So what is this noise? Has my crypt been disturbed? So what is this noise? Has its seal been opened? Even though I lie Entombed behind This large stone grave I feel a presence I feel a warmth The kind death knows not I feel a warmth The kind that betrays the living "Oh mortal being You have disturbed my sleep And I ask why? I don't encroach on the living So why must you awaken the dead? The fetid air Is my resting place And I wish to be left alone In this darkness I wish to be Surrounded by the cold of stone". 3. Marble Tears In this barren season / Only once a year Upon her fine face / Drop the marble tears Her cries are silent / But to touch these stones Is to know her anguish / A fleeting sense of fear Does she disturb / The realm of the dead? Or is her presence / A bitter relief For the one whose abode / Lies beneath the earth Though he may rejoice / She laments her fate "This curse haunts me / I will never escape it The fates binding / Those tempting cursed seeds" "One season here / Three seasons living in fear That fetid air / Oh how I dread it down there I can't escape / When I am bound to this fate Oh Hades hear / Your season's end draws near" "Below the sunlight's reach / Dark magic bears the fruit The cursed juice so sweet / That wicked curse by you..." "Prisoned to be with you / Shall I never forget? That day the earth opened / and swallowed up my grace" In this barren season / Never twice a year Down from her fair face / Pour the marble tears Her pain is silent / But to take these stones Is to share her anguish / And to be cursed like her. 4. The Stars Would Not Awake You Streams, washing away, taking your remains The sky, where you once dwelt, before you fell down The stars, would not awake, to save you today The earth, taker of life, giver of mourning Sunlight, you seem so harsh My eyes can't bear your warmth Please recede and set Let me grieve in the dark Moonlight, you seem so pure Your glow distracts my thoughts Please rise and stay tonight Help me, for I am alone Dreams, moving away, flowing within me Your face, once seemed so clear, now disappears Your trace, formless in shape, shapeless in haze Your name, I cannot say, I can't remember your face... 5. A Cold Stale Goodbye The night is young and the air is dangerous I do not want you to leave this night Don't think it's some childish paranoia I sense that death's on his horse tonight I turn away but for a moment And you have left me on my own This feling grows like a seed inside me It's vines are strangling my insides I chase but you are too far I stop to breathe this air I hear the faintest footsteps I feel his cold breath down my neck The eyes of his wicked horse Stare right into mine The last thing that I feel A cold, stale goodbye Death has touched me I hear faint cries From her voice Oh how sick she feels inside The night is old and drenched in staleness I did not want to leave you this night Your eyes are filled with deep hysteria I sense that death won't come for a while
