I Ride Alone

I RIDE ALONE
All I loved, I loved alone
Stole my past, I bowed my head in surrender
Acceptance of my grief
Through countless grim winters
Fostered wolves when they starved
Got eaten alive when they healed
But in the coldest storm I locked my door
And looked in the eyes those who came back and died
For the blood of my fights
For all those silent words
For all your unraised swords
I ride alone
Pale moon, floating grains of dust
Numb, oppressed
No winner nor victory
Ripped fortune
My life, laughter, my pain, pass away
Hatred, affraight, wretch
Piece by piece, tamed my monsters
Got an army, we'll rise to be
For the blood of my fights
For all those silents words
For all your unraised swords
I'm everything, everywhere, forever
I ride alone
[Whispers]
I took the hand you told me to hold
Respected the oath, swallowed each word
Inhale, each drop of my fears
Exhale, lungs filled in tears
Desecrated, drowned me
Treaded my turmoil, with your silence and deeds
Surrendered my corpse, these waves my grave
Despair, I remembered my awe
Emerged, forged my bones
In a cold white dagger, I'm ashore
Undead, gashed and fooled
Your forehead is wet, I'm sieging your door
Tell me the reason, tell me the reason
Why you blew me like dust

Dead To You

DEAD TO YOU
[Soft Words, Hard Tears]
Lost, self crushed
No sleep, reprieve
Breath, daze
Cold stare, hollow
Dead to you
Forget my name, forget my soul
I'm mine, mine alone
Dead to you
What have I been, is all I have
Estranged, in haze
Astray, in the swallowing mist
I existed not if wished enough
Been called away
Feel, the wind of my pain
Say you forgot I once belonged
Icy clouds
Where memories die
Conflicting skies where once were stars
[Just alone, the night comes, I'm wolf of the moon]
Begged for a memory
Music’s now lost
Poured roses to shut door
Crossed garlands, burnt sage, cursed my mouth
Trust’s wrath
Let me sleep the night of pure hearts
For no grace is real
And the cold remains
And this cold remains
Watered stones
In the home of tears and blue
Not a prayer when I burn
The night away
Dead to you
You’re the worst that defines me

Further In Evil

FURTHER IN EVIL
Hisses, charmed snakes
At nighfall you told yout tale
My stars collide
What's left after tide?
Would you blame? Sand castles that fade?
Bloomed thorns
In my blank realms
No need no saviour, no need no king
Doves of mistrust
Vermin gift of truth
Sore chest, frost now is my muse
Lone lies lair
Do you remember the rain?
I kissed myself further in evil
Shadowed my soul
Perfumed my wounds with salty drops from
My dried eyes
Can't suffocate a fire with fire
Soul never at peace
Return into darkness
Exposed my sins
Fell victorious
My lips pause
It's vain to regret
Lone lies lair
Do you remember the rain?
I kissed myself further in evil
[No fairies can heal
The curse of dying so many times]
Have you ever seen the heart of a serpent
On the desperate edge of my star crossed faith
In misery when the sun goes down and dies
On my new age of pain I worship my void
I blamed distant stars, I blamed lost gods
You won't see me suffer from the gates of my hate
Lone lies lair
Do you remember the rain?
I kissed myself further in evil

Victimized

VICTIMIZED
Blinded, ghosted, deceived
By the death on two legs of your shadow
You cursed my footsteps
I tried to empower myself but I failed
No strength is enough
To tame me
I gazed in the abyss of fire
So now I'm the flame
Do the reasons lay in my madness?
You destroyed my temple, I became who now I am
I'll rule the nights
I'll feast with your dreams
I'll dress in black 'till your last mortal breath
Evil calls evil
Flames call flames
Your oxygen is my spark, I'll extinguish your soul
On your mortal spoils shall I feast
I'll veil your sight with the wind
Of the freezing sea, winter sea
Freezing sea, winter sea
That makes all so hard
Father of all...give me the power
[To] Gather from this sunset fire
Burn your heart within my hands
Victimized
Victimized

To Ruined Altars

To Ruined Altars...(You Light No Lights)
I sorrowed for all those shattered moments
Those moons and suns, alone
As a dry flame I smile to the torch of doom
Under the bell of misery my memories
Are dark books you burnt while walking away
Pieces of me you left, dropped
Among the seeds you stole
Nobody saved my chair, when I left
I was long time gone
You danced, in the delightful lights
While I sat alone
Once we shined together then, you had the choice
Called me with the wrong name
While I smiled apart
Befriended my shadows and the spirits of time
You cut me in two, my blood
Is the venom in me
Magic of evil, vengeance will be
Flames from my lips, endless grim
Ice from my teeth, rain and weep
From my eyes, wind
Gifed of time but wicked at heart
Treasure of fortune, you misfortune torture
This storm enhances my rainbow
But everywhere your eyes will find me
[The night, the spell, the blood]
Killed my candles for
To ruined altars...you light no lights
Now you lay where the golden grapes are
But days will be nights
And shadows will take over sparks
As dismissed clothes, you stepped on me
To reach your guests at your feast
Foerever gloom ahead of me
Loneliness reads my palm
Now that I am no longer a need
You left me in bones, chewed my flesh
Spit on my soul
Now you lay where the golden grapes are
But days will be nights
And shadows will take over sparks
Days will be nights...

SIN IN MY HEART (Siouxsie and the Banshees cover from "JuJu" 1981)
Sin in my heart...
Flying like a dart
Oh sin in my heart
It's beginning to start...
When you're lying like a tart
Oh sin in my heart
When you grovel at my feet
Oh sin in my heart
It's short and sweet
Sin in my heart...
Swift as a dart sin in my heart
Oh sin in my heart...
When you grovel at my feet
Keep it short and sweet
Sin in my heart...
