DEINONYCHUS THE WEEPING OF A THOUSAND YEARS A Gathering Of Memories Within the bleak walls of this great castle, i shield my eyes and hide from the light Tears of blood fall from my face, as i cast my mind back through ancient times It must have been centuries since i took my last supper in anothers company I feel the loneliness even more without my beloved who shared it all with me For she died three hundred years ago, her lifeblood drained as much as mine Yet she never drank from that others vein, the nectar that brought eternal life Through all the years i left a trial of blood, but failed to quell the loss inside Oh yes….this story is about my bride Yes it is possible to know "pain" without a heart That night of August though centuries ago Has left me lonely No life… No light No love… I truly died Now i found someone who cared for me, should i promise her eternal life? For i don't believe i can forget, meeting in these cold december nights I awoke to realise that love is real, but should i tell her all? I couldn't decide Only later i found that she had already gone, too late now to change her mind Once again i'm a prisoner in this castle, forced into shadow away from the light The blody tears still falling, as i sought relief in recalling those ancient times Still i dwell like a leech on the blood of others, never will i claim whats mine Oh yes… this is a story about ME and MY life… I am the eternal, never will i be free Those sunfilled landscapes are just a memory That leaves me lonely What should i do Riding the winds of despair… Upon The Highlands I Fought Down from the hills, we came like wolves… My blade sung for glory Adrenaline coursing through my veins My eyes shone bright in fury Of the clans we numbered thousands Our war-cry as one breath Victory or death! Throughout the battle my prowess grew My steel tasted blood Enemies cowered before me And with my sword became as one Until i felt a piercing in my chest As my soul was claimed by death Into nothingness! Then i awoke From a sleep of centuries Nothing left But some painful memories The times i beheld with sword in hand are over The times i walked the highlands are now gone And now i long for those proud days more than ever. A Last Lament Yes it's true, my life-story is one of a failure Yet nothing can bring me back what was taken away For my heart is still burning with her flame I hope i can still join her, whatever the pain Why not? I was the one who forced her from me I murdered myself a hundred times, you can see the lines Oh, when i realised what i had done to her I thought of every way to undo the crime That we could make it how it used to be No…Why? You cannot imagine how desperate i feel This all seems so dream-like and unreal Time1 What is time to someone in grief I can't even shed tears, just this blank disbelief Perhaps i cried once a century ago Here i stand shadowed by the trees and the midnight moon Commiting this sad tale onto paper And to tell you, please think of me! Who created this pain I suffer inside? Who condemned me… To this immortality!!? Reborn with no name It can never be the same No more peace for me I give myself to eternity… I Have Done As You Did Yes, you bade me follow And I made that choice By my own oath beholden I pledged my blood honour I'll come into your kingdom And feel the dark passion I have done as you did These sleepless nights Cold sweat on the palms My hair danced with The wind through the window One step until… We meet again I have done as you did Lost Forever It's raining outside… Staining this black coat, but… You wouldn't know… A cold and Grey sky Drowning all my tears but… Your eyes are closed… No… No… Every minute seems like a lifetime The past is slowly killing me… Never will this leave my mind I'm haunted by the memory… No… No… This is a bitter loss for me The awakened Sorrow is the path i'm doomed to wander, in this hunger for blood… A cold unlife I never desired, for the endless nights drag on… The night… the night At first i would not believe this was for real, so i cut myself but no blood fell All recollection of past life gone, the taste and smell of the daylight world Fear, fear Last view of daylight… I haunt the night… In a coffin i hide… "Come to feed my uncontrolled desire, my precious beauty I'll grant you a gift you'll not see in this life A walk through the labyrinth of eternity Close your eyes, you'll soon awake in paradise" Lies, lies… One by one they died, all those who were my brides… Living in hell I call this, cursed with pain and bitterness… Can't look at the sun… To darkness reborn… For my life i mourn… The Gothic Statue Ancient and lifeless, like god's perfect idols The statues looked down and unspeaking saw The hypocrisy uttered within these four walls Is this the palace of a just god at all? For many were the wars we saw, many fought and died God's kingdom prospered upon those corpses piled high Giving sanctimony to slaughter, the churches killed for christ We saw that their religion was the hand that held the knife Now the altar is silent and claimed by the dust This building crumbles from disuse and mistrust The annals of infamy attest to the last great truth Religion is a whore (and we the fools)…
