first opus (Part I-IX). To read more lyrics, buy the art.


Part IV

Fear my love
it
will haunt your soul
for eternity
You are trapped within me

Feel this kiss
through this dreadful mist
Your embrace - my heart
Only shadows alive

 

Part V

My loneliness cold embrace
The burning abscence of your face
Your are the eyes of my desire - glowing
I am secrets in your veins - flowing

The essence of my excistence
Your presecne from a distance

 

Part VI

Nightmares turn to daydreams
They are shadows from the past
Wastelands filled with fire
and our love will always last

 

Part VII

I see you but still in darkness, you have sealed my fate
Only love can quench my hunger, lust must never wait

And my mind is filled with whirlwinds of dust
We are expelled with the fragments of lust
Like a heaven without missing stars
Like our hearts without all the scars

 

Part VIII

Love is an ocean of a thousand tears uncried

And you will lie to your heart
and your heart will lie to you
And you shall follow the path
which leads to love

And from the ashes of oblivious self-deceit
you will rise with Her

 

Part IX

Eternity this night will capture
All my love soon confessed
My sweet beloved dressed in rapture
By passion our veins caressed

I cherish the nightfall where lovers embark
My siren keeps calling my name through the dark
and gently persuades me to stay in her arms
the notion of unimmortality harms

Until the day of my eternal rest, my head I lay upon your breast
Tonight our lust ablaze the past, and we share love deep and vas
