1. Dividing Vanity

Spring weaves your path
All around you melting chords
Timbres cast you shadow
in your interposing halo

Blissful mission
Take the time to reform me
Strange perception is my obsession
for the streets you walk

The trail of a thousand days
marks the wounds you left untreated
and now your silly dog
barks his way through the yard defeated

I have come to realize
all the wrongs and most of the rights
The misleading apathy
The crestfallenself in me
Soon I'll seize the newborn day
The na?ve new hope at bay
You're still everything I need
but I'm not anymore what I breed

There's a war outside my window
Nations fight for vital lands
But I'm safe behind my teardrops
Crucified by your small hands

The ambiguity of errors
the forgotten lullabies
are only songs I listen
in my empty rooms of ice

When you exculde me
from all your ill-thoughts
I fight the urge to kiss your violently
but I'll be here when the morning comes...

... it's a promise

It's the age of infancy
and we're swimming into its sea
For as long as we're still young
we can build our private ark
You're my credo, my pastoral land
I never met
You're the fabric that dreams are made of
and I cannot dream anymore

I feel so beautiful
My perfume was then your sweat
and I'm calm and hopeful
underneath the city lights
We can always pretend
act as if nothing happened
And the day that you'll remember
make a wish forever

Forever crushed, forever loved
forever trust, forever hate
This simulation of decay
grants us all the toys to play

I'm a liar who offends
all the reasons for romance
with your mesmerizing guilt
and your cynical retreat
I still love you and I whisper
all of those foolish songs of love
You're still everything I need
but you're also free to live

2. Sacred Lover

Bleed once more for me
This time I'm thirsty
Bleed and I will drink
and drain your pain out

Love in pain we share
We could embrace
and dance until love fades

In red seas of lust
our souls are swinging
Islands of oblivion
we're seeking
Red stains on your breast
from a heart that's bleeding
I can lick your wounds
and heal them

I am your Sacred Lover
your Holy Father
your secret oath

I am the curse you're chasing
I am the blessing
And here I rise again

See those bleeding hands
once were around you
Touched, felt, loved
betrayed and crucified you

Love in pain we shared
We once embraced
and danced until love faded

I am your Sacred Lover
your Holy Father
your secret oath

I am the curse you're chasing
I am the blessing
And here I rise again

Shore ahead
I'm sure you're there
In my temple with a chant
you'll help me rise again

Hold these words
and keep your faith in me
My precious one
The Chosen One you've seen
Hold my name
and keep my memory
Into your heart
until I rise upon thee

...and we'll dance again
...and we'll share the pain
Bloodstains never fade
Don't fear 'cause...

I am your Sacred Lover
your Holy Father
your secret oath

I am the curse you're chasing
I am the blessing
And here I rise again

3. Two Steps And An Acknowledgment

The more I learn
the more I try to understand
Reflections of thoughts
reach the lying lips

All these voices talking in my head
encouragement, hopeful dreams, punishment and joy
Maybe this time I can really forget

Big lies and small ties
Fake cries and little
betrayals that don't count
Bitter is the taste of your tongues

How many little things
can fill these empty lives?
Priorities can poison
the hopes, the dreams, the fairy tales

I'd rather sleep alone than have my hands betrayed
Apparently, I still can trust my instincts as I did
Tell me, did you believe that I could forgive?

Big lies and small ties
Fake cries and little
betrayals that don't count
Bitter's the taste of your tongues

And I fear what you'll bring
where this anger may lead
When you search for more
you might lose this lore

I'm waiting like a scarecrow
in the fields of intellect
A parallel existence
can easily erase the tension

Prosperity's among the friends that can do without
Ignorance, ignorance, what a pity: you, like us
Just play your part and then I will play mine

Big lies and small ties
Fake cries and little
betrayals that don't count
Bitter's the taste of your tongues

4. The Road To Grovelling

So, you finally outdid me
pranking more than they would dare
It's a secret we all harbour
Little tragedies won't hurt
Such a fair manipulation
whole worlds could be drawn in
but you won't escape castigation
for your shelter would be me

To think that I could give my life for you
It's the nature of our friends to flee
Neither you nor I will see the signs of war

A broken cliff, a fallen leaf, a muddy street
the places I'll meet you, the words that well speak

Is it ironic and obscure?
We'll come eventually to that
Is your disgrace contagious?

New stanzas will be written
added to the poem we begun
And the circle that we started
must be ended or we all lose
The time is near and the outcome must come

Don't hesitate to feel obliged, my friend
It's just a duty I perform
Anytime you feel alone, I won't be near

A broken cliff, a fallen leaf, a moddy street
the places I'll meet you, the words that well speak
And stormy seas and empty mountains and gray hills
will witness this grandeur, the dance that we'll share

5. Under The Face Of Regret

There was a time I had a dream so strong
and all my efforts were a futile show
and I found joy only in things that were not mine
and every day I searched the sky, waiting for a sign

There is no place for the sinners among you
There's no terrestrial happiness
There's only pain for wanderers and seekers
for all is just a parade
under the face of regret
under the face of regret

The pain distilled from my insights became
the backround reading for the life I claim
And all the nights I left without a backward glance
return as one to wait the banner of remorse

There is no place for the sinners among you
There's no terrestrial happiness
There's only pain for wanderers and seekers
for all is just a parade
under the face of regret
under the face of regret

There is no place for the sinners among you
There's no terrestrial happiness
There's only pain for wanderers and seekers
for all is just a parade
under the face of regret
under the face of regret

There's only pain for wanderers
for all is just a parade
under the face of regret

6. Taken In

Exchanging tongues notch your name in my brain
Those grotesque kinds of soul kissing still fail
to heal the wound
I need to stop living through
this small group of blond pathetic females

Dark angels born of disdain still debate
of gracing your truant with small ribbons of hate

I wrote a name on the sand again
Salty waves took it away
They seemed to whisper it for a while
Then silence claimed a tear

Your eyes of quartz in my mind are waned
Flowers of love too sensitive
to spread their scent through September wind
who's detecting joyfully

But when it blows
and forces the sea back against
the shore
She spits the bitter word

The scholar clown, she told me names are just sounds
Last a second just to remind a face
A woman's pride with her arms open wide
and her heart sealed as if never existed

No soothing words ever made me forget
Acknowledgement under the face of regret

I wrote a name on the sand again
Salty waves took it away
They seemed to whisper it for a while
Then silence claimed a tear

Your eyes of quartz in my mind are waned
Flowers of love too sensitive
to spread their scent through September wind
who's detecting joyfully

But when it blows
and forces the sea back against
the shore
She spits the bitter word

But when it blows
and forces the sea back against
the shore
She spits the bitter word

7. Sandfalls

...and here I am chasing time
so arrogant...
The sands go down
With them I fall inside the hourglass
as time left nothing to remember
Watch my slow descending

These as I join the sandfalls
past memories start to come
As I could see in every scene of it
my part was cold and so depressive
in a parade of senses

A fear of glass turns the time backwards
straight to a dream almost forgotten
It comes and goes and stains all around
but can't be touched by my hands
The cold embrace of this rare feeling
reminds that nothing lasts forever
We come and go and stain all around
until the final fall

An abject slave of pure sense
The novelty of a cold kiss
Downtime behind the future's wheel
that feeds the poverty of feelings
for a new beginning...

A fear of glass turns the time backwards
straight to a dream almost forgotten
It comes and goes and stains all around
but can't be touched by my hands
The cold embrace of this rare feeling
reminds that nothing lasts forever
We come and go and stain all around
until the final fall

8. A Soul

I'd rather be to another place
facing no fears
I'd rather dive into deep sea
to hide my tears

I'd rather be to another place
facing no fears
I'd rather dive into deep sea
to hide my tears
I'd rather find and live again
my once lost life
I'd rather find another soul
to call my bride

Stars are eternal
as eternal they say is the soul
Stars they will fall only once
in the hands of those watching their fall

No stars I see
for my tears, they are blinding my eyes
No soul I have
For I gave her away with my pride

I'd rather say the bitter words
that hurt her pride
I'd rather sing the saddest song
to make her cry
I want to shoot this loaded gun
against my sight
I want to howl but there's no moon
it must be hiding tonight

Like the moon
she was changing her shape
trying so hard to fit into my sky
I was cruel
like the sun I was cruel
seeing nothing except my own light

New she hides
and I'm dying in fear
as I'm trying to open my eyes
Still she cries
and her weeping I hear
with her melodies
seems like he tries

to break the spell
and help me see
to wash my guilt
forgive my sins

to break the spell
and help me see

9. Sleep

She wears a smile, it echoes brightly
No velvet touch just scent of life
Eyes in distance speak the truth
I feel empty as a whore
but I'm grateful just for this

She laughs but hides her golden pages
In every aspect I'm below
Sigh and flow for I'm go
It's a promise that I'll keep
in a century of dreams
Someone has stolen the moon
and the room is dark, so dark

She sleeps now, so calm and sweet
I watch her all night
and this is my dearest hour
My precious star, I'll never leave your side

This is the hour of isolation
This is the time I'll allways think
By her side, her breath is my birth
She's the garden of pure light
radiating all that's kind
Now, I'll never be your lullaby

She sleeps now, so calm and sweet
I watch her all night
and this is my dearest hour
My precious star, I'll never leave your side

She sleeps now, so calm and sweet
I watch her all night
and this is my dearest hour
My precious star, I'll never leave your side

It's dark where she was
And it creeps upon me
for the night is still young
and she's waiting lonely
It's cold where I've been
and it creeps upon her
silently it screams
just enough to call her

It's dark where i was
sleeps until it finds
the wrongs in the sunlight
It lurks in our minds
It's cold where she's been
hanging on to dreams
And she's never believed
in my endless fears

It's dark where she was
And it creeps upon me
for the night is still young
and she's waiting lonely
It's cold where I've been
and it creeps upon her
silently it screams
just enough to call her

It's dark where i was
sleeps until it finds
the wrongs in the sunlight
it lurks in our minds

It's dark where she was
And it creeps upon me
for the night is still young
and she's waiting lonely

It's dark where she was
And it creeps upon me
for the night is still young
and she's waiting
and she's waiting lonely
