"Like A Stone"

On a cob web afternoon,
In a room full of emptiness
By a freeway I confess
I was lost in the pages of a book full of death;
Reading how we'll die alone.
And if we're good we'll lay to rest,
Anywhere we want to go.

In your house I long to be;
Room by room patiently,
I'll wait for you there like a stone.
I'll wait for you there alone.

And on my deathbed I will pray to the gods and the angels,
Like a pagan to anyone who will take me to heaven;
To a place I recall, I was there so long ago.
The sky was bruised, the wine was bled, and there you led me on.

In your house I long to be;
Room by room, patiently,
I'll wait for you there like a stone.
I'll wait for you there alone, alone.

And on I read until the day was gone;
And I sat in regret of all the things I've done;
For all that I've blessed, and all that I've wronged.
In dreams until my death I will wander on.

In your house I long to be;
Room by room, patiently,
I'll wait for you there like a stone.
I'll wait for you there alone, alone.

I am an Angel of the Dark

YOU CALL ME SAINT
YOU CALL ME SINNER
SOMETIMES YOU WANNA BURN ME
BUT I’M NOT GOD
AND I’M NOT EVIL

I AM AN ANGEL OF THE DARK

FOE SO LONG I WANDERED
AND SEARCHED THE TRUTH
IS THERE A SENSE IN THE END

MY FLESH IS IMMORTAL
BUT MY SOUL IS DEAD
NOBODY CAN IMAGINE THE PAIN

A DARK DESIRE INSIDE ME
NO WORDS WILL GIVE ME HOPE
DAMNED TO ETERNAL LIFE
NO WARMTH EMBRACES MY SOUL

I AM AN ANGEL OF THE DARK
I LIVE HUNDREDS OF YEARS
I SAW MILLIONS OF TEARS
I AM AN ANGELS OF THE DARK
I AM NOT BORN TO DIE
I AM NOT BORN TO CRY

ALONG TIME AGO
I FELL IN LOVE
MARIA, MY WARMTH AND MY LIFE

BUT IT ENDS LIKE IT STARTED
IT CRUSHED ALL MY HOPES
TO LIVE A NORMAL GUY

A DARK DESIRE INSIDE ME
NO WORDS WILL GIVE ME HOPE
DAMNED TO ETERNAL LIFE
NO WARMTH EMBRACES MY SOUL

I AM AN ANGEL OF THE DARK
I AM AN ANGEL OF THE DARK
I AM AN ANGEL OF THE DARK
I AM AN ANGEL OF THE DARK
I LIVE HUNDREDS OF YEARS
I SAW MILLIONS OF TEARS
I AM AN ANGELS OF THE DARK
I AM NOT BORN TO DIE
I AM NOT BORN TO CRY
I AM AN ANGEL OF THE DARK

Bittersweet

[Ville]
I'm giving up the ghost of love
And a shadow is cast on devotion

[Lauri]
She is the one that I adore
Queen of my silent suffocation

[Both]
Break this bittersweet spell on me
Lost in the arms of destiny

[Ville]
Bittersweet

[Lauri]
I won't give up
I'm possessed by her

[Ville]
I'm bearing a cross
She's turned into my curse

[Both]
Break this bittersweet spell on me
Lost in the arms of destiny

[Lauri]
Bittersweet

I want you

[Ville]
Oh how I wanted you

[Lauri]
And I need you

[Ville]
Oh how I needed you

[Both]
Break this bittersweet spell on me
Lost in the arms of destiny

God Forsaken

So my dissent was a shallow defense I made
To lay waste through the powers of fame?
When all the blame I carried around my neck,
Viscous cycle of hate that I changed to find my way!

When the sovereign comes to me,
I eclipse in the shadow's veil,
Killing all I cease to be.
For the passing vein is hate!


A fall to the fires of Hell, never fail to awaken,
Though my soul ascends in the darkness of my heart, again;
I'm God-Forsaken.

A fall to the fires of Hell, never fail to awaken,
Though my soul ascends in the darkness of my heart, again;
I'm God-Forsaken.

With every turn I fail to learn my path,
and it's wearing down my days,
To be the voice of a half-dead suffering age
I never want to read that I ceased to find my way

When the sovereign comes to me,
I eclipse in the shadow's veil,
Killing all I cease to be.
For the passing vein is hate!


A fall to the fires of Hell, never fail to awaken,
Though my soul ascends in the darkness of my heart, again;
I'm God-Forsaken.

A fall to the fires of Hell, never fail to awaken,
Though my soul ascends in the darkness of my heart, again;
I'm God-Forsaken.

Now the grave is all I see


A fall to the fires of Hell, never fail to awaken,
Though my soul ascends in the darkness of my heart, again;
I'm God-Forsaken.

A fall to the fires of Hell, never fail to awaken,
Though my soul ascends in the darkness of my heart, again;
I'm God-Forsaken.

Closure

Vengeance will be mine, I will reciprocate,
And with a heavy heart, i walk this path I've been forced to take
You turned your back on me,
And I'm left here face to face,
face to face with my ramifications,
I'll find a place worthy of my cause.

Stuck at this critical point,
With anticipation of the thought of the choice,
I can't do this.
I'm doomed to make between love and hate,
Is this the man I've become.

The throbbing of my heart grows and turns into a steady pound,
Panic is given out in doses,
I've reached the end,
It hurts to breath, turn off the lights,
Save me from this life



Note: not original.

Pool of fears

I feel it all uorround me
Breathe all your hate into my lungs
I know that you can't stand me
Cannot help the way I've become
But all i wanted to be was
So much more then I am now
It doesn't even matter
The thoughts from you were just so loud


Scars of Life

Lost

So calloused, and so naive
to fight off this temptation,
i feed on disorder and delusion,
confusion reigns,
As choices prey on me and drag me through hell
I'm swallowed by chaparral darkness,
I wasn't born for nothing,
Sacrilege.
Thoughts in chaos without a cover,
Insolent me.
Save me please, I'm begging,
I need a panacea for my disease,
I'm letting out whatever is inside.
