Ankh (A Vampire's Dream)

Oceans of time
Everlasting
(oceans of time)

Nightfall, my home
Day be the spade
Sunrise, sunset
To evening shade
As the crow flies
Black as his breast
'Neath is heartbeat
Mine cannot nest

Oceans of time
Everlasting
(oceans of time)

Life blood, light dreams
Shan't meet or save
This empty soul
Immortal, grave
Yet, sharing hush
Glint gathering
Undamned and free
As the crow's wing

Oceans of time
Everlasting
(oceans of time)

I will search for you, my love

My course is straight
As the crow flies
I will search for you, my love

Oceans of time
Everlasting
(oceans of time)

Samhain Night

At last I see you
You see me
Though end of us came to be
Separated by two paths
We follow
As the bewitching hollow of the deep woods rustle
- Autumn leaves crackling, tumbling
Farther and farther (apart)
Samhain Night, and only a veil of souls fall between

Tree limbs cascade hands
Outstretched cling
Their bony, mangled arms swing
Tangled branches dance, descend
For to cloak
As chimney smoke floats across the scarecrow and haystacks
Jackal eyes gaze and flicker
Watching, waiting, debating
When, what way, how to haunt you
Burning through with memory

At last I see you
You see me
Though end of us came to be
Samhain Night, and only a veil of souls fall between

Jackal eyes gaze and flicker
Eerie candle wicks whisper
Once there was a brighter side
Love is pain,... a pitch heart bide
Samhain Night, and so I bring thee dwell of darkly dreams
Samhain Night, and only a veil of souls fall between

Love Blues

Time had froze over, dimmed by fears
Many, many depressing tears
If you could hear me now, you'd laugh
- With an icy expression cross your face
I gave way too much, like a fool
Love blues, paid my dues, you lived to be cruel
(love blues, paid my dues, your love lived to be cruel)

I've grown wiser with soulful eyes
Seen some youth go ... on you, unwise
You won't ever hurt me again
I could never be enough, good enough
I tried way too hard, like a fool
Love blues, paid my dues, you lived to be cruel
(love blues, paid my dues, your love lived to be cruel)

I'm done (wishing for caring views)
Chiseled out, sculptured as I choose
Sooooo ... moving on (learn), note to self
Don't find you in anyone else
I've wept my last, it thaws a pool
Tears at my feet, I wasn't only fool
You threw me away, Winter heart, too cool
Love blues, when alive ... your love lived to be cruel

Love blues
I'm done, I'm done
Let it be the past
Love blues
I'm done, I'm done
Let it be the last
Love blues

Lycanthrope

The intruder's coming
Carnivore, I'm learning
Muscles and nerves drumming
Edgy, speeding, burning
Turning
Turning

Feed,... feast 'til ache is quenched
Hunger's all that matters
Distorted fix is clenched
Jaws, fangs, claws, pangs shatter
Splatter
Splatter

Fallen eyes lock lone reflection
Something of stunning connection
To recognize the familiar
And stranger, in me, is living
Will the sunrise be forgiving?
Forgive
Forgive
(forgive me,... beast I see)

There is no mask to fake
No Autumn trick or treat
When nemesis finds wake
And full moon throws white heat
Must eat
Must eat
(until the hunger's fed)
(blood-red, blood-red, blood-red)

Fallen eyes lock lone reflection
Something of stunning connection
To recognize the familiar
And stranger, in me, is living
Will the sunrise be forgiving?
Forgive
Forgive
(forgive me,... beast I see)

... Forgive me
