Paradise Lost - Erased

i don't owe anything
i don't owe anyone
shoot pride for all its worth
i don't belong

in a situation now
that i could not repair
i assert myself to sleep
show others that i've cared
how cold is this poor life
lay ashes at my grave

if it takes me away from you
a subtle gesture

i don't know anyone (cherish my religion)
i don't know anyone (faith is only fiction)
i don't know anyone (cherish my religion)
i don't know anyone (faith is only fiction)

this is erased i promise not a trace
this is erased i promise no delay not a trace​

SEPTIC FLESH - The Eldest Cosmonaut

SHINE......
In the mines of the darkest star.
The one no jewel can never shine.
A rode is left to point to Styx,
both its end can lead,both can deceive.

No traps can seize,THE ELDEST COSMONAUT
as time stands still,incapable to breathe.

Once in clay I allowed the decades
to become a stone wall around me
but at least I became the wall of decades.

Can you feel the wrinkles on my hand?
They are yours.They are lines I once
drew upon the sand...

I HAVE A BOAT UNSEEN A LABYRINTHINE SPHERE
THE GNOSIS OF THE ELDEST COSMONAUT.
AND MAYBE YOU WILL SEE
THAT I AM WHAT YOUR MIND CAN NEVER.....SEAL.

Travelling the luminiferous waters of space,
through the Stellar Isthmus.
It can lead it can decieve.

No traps can seize me,No toombs can seal me.

I HAVE A BOAT UNSEEN A LABYRINTHINE SPHERE
THE GNOSIS OF THE ELDEST COSMONAUT.
AND MAYBE YOU WILL SEE
THAT I AM WHAT YOUR MIND CAN NEVER.....SEAL.​

Beyond Twilight - Perfect Dark
I see beauty
I feel love
But when i touch it
I burn

Deep is the sky
White* is the sea
But windows and doors have been closed
For so long

And it's perfect dark
It's perfect dark here
Where the angels scream

Give me a reason
What's this all about?
I am sorry i don't understand
We pray to our god as we dance with the devil

Hold the candle
Pass the flame
We're all in this together

Cosmic winds are gathering
Coming your way
Telling you - you are only a fragment
A fragment of time

And it's perfect dark
It's perfect dark here
Hear the angels screaming

I can't go on carrying the pain

Follow the philosopher
Is he god or lucifer?
It's written in the sky
A prophecy for you and I

Electrical insects
With nowhere to go

Asking the question "Why?"
Religion might just be a lie
Believer, take your fix
Crawl up on your crucifix

I've found the answer
I have the key
Experience reality
And the world will see

That it's perfect dark
It's perfect dark here
In the devil's hall of fame

Before me now
I see a dying planet
Captured souls
With microchips implanted
And it's perfect dark
In the devil's hall of fame

There must be a way
I'm waiting - waiting for the day
Hellfire
Hellfire
Higher
Higher
Only blood remains
There is nothing more to gain
--
*: I think it should have been "wide". Huh?

MEZARKABUL - LIONS IN A CAGE

Lions In A Cage

Wish that I had been born long before
My brother's got me up against the wall
Of my siblings I'm the lucky one
Left alive here where there is no sun
I was put here AT the age of four
Fifty odd years spent behind a door
One more day and I will be THE king
People will believe it, they'LL believe in anything
See the lions in THE cage, See the victims of the rage
Lions, lions in a cage, fifty years behind a wall
Lions, lions in a cage, see those lions in THE cage
Thirteen yards of dusty dungeon floor
Is the longest path I've walked before
They took me out into the glaring sun
And still they tell me I'm the lucky one
Single out the weak link in the chain
A generation damaged in the brain
I'll lift my head up high and see the sun
And then when it's my turn, I'll make sure that I spare no one
See the lions in THE cage, See the victims of the rage
Lions, lions in a cage, fifty years behind a wall
Lions, lions in a cage, see those lions in THE cage
Whose hands are these? They reach in and take my own life
with my hands... But I've killed my brothers, too.
When I had to.
I have no doubt. I have no soul. Whose hands are these?
Who took away the light? Who has the right? Who gives a damn!
"Do what you will" shall be the whole of the law!

Darkseed - Souls Unite

you're waiting for the gates
to be raised
when you walk through
your life will change
time after evil
hour after fear
it's the moment in life
when souls unite
...souls will unite
when you close your eyes
souls will unite
then the sun will rise
summer's might

i will give you the key
open the gate to me
the sun will rise
let our souls unite

emptiness is driving you
tunnels you are wandering through
your thoughts will set you free
from your private misery
i want you to see my world
i will wait for you within
you will walk on flowered dreams
mile after mile

someday the sun will warm your face
and heat your soul
when you sit happily in the sand
and unite with the stars​

Mezarkabul - This Too Will Pass

I believe in all the visions that you've made up in your mind
I believe in the point of here and now you read these lines
I've got a word to say; just save the day
In the game you take your part
The evil game lives forever more
While every player shall die

Don't hide and fear the dark
Don't go astray for light
Just take your time tonight
This, too, will pass

Fly away on the wings of moments that you're breathing out
Fly away, don't rely on the world it's turning round and round
It's the way we choose and got nothing to lose
In the game we call "our lives"
All that appears will turn to dust
Like every soul shall rise

Don't hide and fear the dark
Don't go astray for light
Just take your time tonight
This, too, will pass
​

MEZARKABUL
PAIN

Eyes on this flesh the windows of my soul
From these I look inside and see it all
Thorns in my heart and needles in my brain
Is pain infectious or is it from the core
My fate is hiding in the dark
Or it’s my mind that steals the light

Heavy conscience on my shoulder
i Can’t hold on any longer
Cold ice now
Darkness, kill my pain

I asked my father why he passed me by
He said I’m always here and watching you
Don’t be afraid when you have lost your way
Follow the signs and they’ll be leading you
Why do I fear to leave the lie
When time has come to say goodbye

Heavy conscience on my shoulder
i Can’t hold on any longer
Cold ice now
Darkness, kill my pain

"WE ARE THE ANCIENT SAGES, FOR WHOM THE SIGN IS SHOWN
FORGOTTEN ONES FROM THE REALM OF THE UNKNOWN
WITHOUT A NAME OR TRACE, IN DEATH WE SANK
AND IN THE BOOK OF TIME OUR NAMES ARE BLANK

Solitude Aeturnus - Days Of Prayer

Standing before the door of the one I call god
My entrance has been denied- forever lost
Days of prayer are words wasted on the wind
If there is to be an answer then give these talons a grasp to hold


Burning sun of hope
A blackened path in my way

Trees of fruitless seed are soon cast away
Hearing the wind whisper of souls
Why must I stand amongst the void

 

[Slash]

FOR YOU-My Dying Bride

I will be here for you
All I want is you
When I see your face
All the Angels are shamed

Lay with me beauty
Feel me close to you
Take my hand to you
Touch you softly. Your warm skin

Cover me with you
Over me under you
Pull me in to you
As one we lay entwined

All I ever wanted
I have, I need never wish again
You are heaven sent

Empyrium - Lover's Grief
O gothic moon thy shine encharmest me tonight
Bereavest me of sleep, makest me wander under thy light.
Thou letst abloom my heart until the very last of thy ray,
Shine! bereaver of sleep, ere black clouds hide thee away....

I know this can't be eternal!
No love hath ever conquered the borders of time!
No beauty is everlasting, not even thine!
But o how i wished your heart would fore'er be mine...

Thy eyes caress myself to endure these painful lies...
The moon's persistance makest me ask...
Why can't we be stars?
Stars that shine forever...
Stars that unite with the night...

At the horizon the dark stormclouds of sorrow have gathered their might,
Neither the moon nor the stars reveal their light this night
...and rain is falling, pouring down into my soul,
While wild weeping clouds enwrapp me in their woe

Arcturus - The Chaos Path

Await the coming storm. Behold the sign in the sun.
Chaos upon us spawn! The arrows of time pinpoints us all.
Oh, well the maddening laughter growing louder with the memories.
Atoms like incense rising, like a thousand candles all blown out
at once.
Fear tangled with despair.This ghastly symphony of malice breaks it.
The spirit sails out on waters. An intergalactic sea of sorrow.
Solemn oblivion with thee.

Ways of darkness.
The third eye reflects the images of vast reluctant pasts.
Ethereal eternity awaits the final act.
It crawls toward the altar destinied to collaps.
Tragic legend, eerie stratum.

Twisted, this mortal flesh evoked again, with echoes still haunting;
The curses chanting.
Embrace the outcast state of chaos. After all its unalterable.
Beweep this thought, then arise with wisdom,
Nowhen I hallow in the gateway of different plains.
Open your heart and let go. Oh Vanish. Divine infinity.

Ah, this wraith I am. So many aeons ago since.
Ah I suffer eternally. The inevitable did unfold.
Oh well, a collection of particles held together
by the force of a soul and its memory.
Be warned (you stand) on the edge of infinity;
Where coloured waves will lead the way into the void.
Fear tangled with despair. This ghastly symphony of malice.
Oh well the maddening laughter growing louder with memories now.
Atoms like incense thing.

Ways of darkness.
The third eye reflects the images of vast reluctant pasts.
Ethereal eternity awaits the final act.
You are drawn towards the altar destined to collaps.
Tragic legend, eerie stratum.

In between the arrows of time I suffer eternally.​

McAuley Schenker Group - Never Ending Nightmare

Nightmare lying here in the dark
Scared like my dreams made their mark
I wonder
Dreamer always alone
Lost in a part of myself I can't find anymore
I wonder if it's gonna end tonight

I can't sleep alone anymore
I need you here with me
Even though I closed all the doors
There's somethin' holdin' me

Never Ending Nightmare
Always there instead of you
Never Ending Nightmare
No escape this time from you

Lately been around someone new
Needed to fill in the space
That once sheltered you
Still I worry, if you're gonna be alright

I can't sleep alone anymore
Need someone here with me
All I ever wanted and more
My dreams are fighting for

Never Ending Nightmare
Always there instead of you
Never Ending Nightmare
Punishing me for the things I do
Never ending Nightmare

No escape this time from you

Xandria - Eversleeping

Once I travelled 7 seas to find my lovw
And once I sang 700 songs
Well, maybe I still have to walk 7000 miles
Until I find the one that I belong

Once I crossed 7 rivers to find my love
And once, for 7 years, I forgot my name
Well, if I have to I will die 7 deaths just to lie
In the arms of my eversleeping aim

I will rest my head side by side
To the one that stays in the night
I will lose my breath in my last words of sorrow
And whatever comes will come soon
Dying I will pray to the moon
That there once will be a better tomorrow

I dreamt last night that he came to me
He said: "My love, why do you cry?"
For now it won't be be long any more​

 

[OrphanedAngel]

THE MISSION - Love me to death

Let me come inside your ivory tower
Let me come inside your hallowed walls
God, it's heaven in here
Fix me with your hand of praise
Fix me with your touch of precious thrills
Your fingers dance across my skin
Reaching out for the pride of man
Hand in hand, flesh in flesh
We're walking through the fire of love
Breath by breath, and flame by flame
We burn 'til the sun rises and shines hot
Love comes gushing, love runs free
My love comes all over you
My love comes for you
Love me to death, my flower
Run bare fur through my hair
Naked on my lips
Love me to death, my precious
Smother me with kisses
Drown me in your waves of falling sweetness
Hold me dear, bury me deep
Bless me with your word of savage honour
We love more by fate than design
So give me your hand and I'll gladly give you my life
A flower, that sways in the breeze
You must be stronger than the winds that blow you away
Blow you away
Love me to death, my precious
Run bare fur through my hair
Dance wild on my lips
Love me to death, my flower
Lay me down on your bed of petals
Cover me with your honey, my blossom
Love me to death
Love me to death
Love me to death, my flower
Love me to death, my treasure
Run bare fur through my hair
Dance wild on my heart
Love me to death, my precious
Love me to death, my love
Tarnish, taint and punish me softly
Softly love me to death
Love me to death

Tiamat - In A Dream

In a dream
I'm climbing the clouds
I touch a subdued sky
With my bare hands

In a dream
Let me drag you through my world
My kingdom for your thoughts
What is in your mind

When the night is to rouse your desires
In a dream
And the world of darkness whispers
In a dream
Be prepared to leave your reality
In a dream
Wake up to a game called life
In a dream

In a dream
I stand naked on a hill
I am looking down at me
Trying to touch my cold skin

In a dream
In a pool of blood
Evil is as pure as innocence
Evil is as pure as love

When the night is to rouse your desires
In a dream
And the world of darkness whispers
In a dream
Be prepared to leave your reality
In a dream
Wake up to a game called life
In a dream​

_Seawinds_
In cold and dark December
As I walk into the rain
Sit beside the room
All night long

In a grey December morning
I decide to leave my home
Took a train to nowhere
Far away far away

Many thousand miles away
Where the moon took to the stars
Dreamed about the days
Days gone by days gone by

In the night the seawinds are calling
And the city is far far away
Soon the sea turns to darkness
It is night and seawinds are calling
Seawinds call seawinds call

Ten thousands miles away
Where the moon took to the stars
I dreamed about the days
Days gone by

I've been told so many stories
And dreams my friends have made
So it's no illusions
Sail away sail away

In the night the seawinds are calling
And the city is far far away
Soon the sea turns to darkness
It is night and seawinds are calling

 

[Derya the Angel]

One Last Goodbye

How I needed you
How I grieve now you're gone
In my dreams I see you
I awake so alone

I know you didn't want to leave
Your heart yearned to stay
But the strength I always loved in you
Finally gave way

Somehow I knew you would leave me this way
Somehow I knew you could never stay
And in the early morning light
After a silent peaceful night
You took my heart away
And I grieve

In my dreams I can see you
I can tell you how I feel
In my dreams I can hold you
And it feels so real

I still feel the pain
I still feel your love
I still feel the pain
I still feel your love

Somehow I knew you could never, never stay
And somehow I knew you would leave me
And in the early morning light
After a peaceful night
You took my heart away
I wished, I wished you could have stayed

Blaakyum - Am I Black?

Pride, Deceive, Deceit, Inside,
Nothing worth try, this life that should not be,
I roam all alone in life, with no one to care,
I made my life darkness within.

Drifting wind is blowing am I black
My sun ain't rising am I black
"Fighting to survive this life" is much on me
And I wonder
Am I Black Yeah!!

Pride I feel I can't believe
Everyone betrayal they all have turned against me
God My only friend help me to be
No there's no use cause darkness is in

Drifting wind is blowing am I black
My sun ain't rising am I black
"Fighting to survive this life" is much on me
And I wonder
Am I Black

Am I Black

Pride, Deceive, Deceit, Inside,
Nothing worth life, this life that should not be,
I roam all alone in life, with nothing to give
I made my life darkness within.

Drifting wind is blowing am I black
My sun ain't rising am I black
"Fighting to survive this life" is much on me
And I wonder

Am I Black

I heard you're by my side I wonder if it's you
I hope u understand I hope u really would
I know you're by my side I do adore you
I hope you'd understand I'm just a human being

If I'm black and it's true I don't care anymore
It is you can you save me from hell I know you would
The beast is here and the ending is near
Blackness and fear
Am I black, Am I black, Am I black mighty God oh God.

Am I BLAAK?

Skyclad - Skyclad

I'll sing to you of days departed,
Times when men proud and stouthearted carved their names on history's bloody
page,
The corpse of chivalry long dead
Is turning in his loamy bed indignant at your new 'enlightened' age
White-collared knights at boardroom tables dream their own financial fables,
Fight to make their incomes larger--mounted on their 'credit charges.'
Held within the safety of this mundane existence--
Facing endless grey Mondays of dull nine to fives,
We all climb the social ladder with a dogged persistence,
Forging chains we shall carry for the rest of our lives.
We cannot see through clothes may maketh man they cannot give us shelter--
On this mortal helter-skelter if our loyalties are torn,
Between the values we believe in and the egos we are feeding--
We stand all together naked as the day we were born.
And so cast off the lies that are our lives and find the truth within.
SKYCLAD--the veil has lifted,
SKYCLAD--now I see through,
SKYCLAD--your mask of illusion,
SKYCLAD--to the fake that is you.
Financial wizards read their spells from filofaxes
Concrete hells of their own making pass for Avalon.
These men self-made by shrewd investing spend their weekends child-molesting,
Lost in 'green-belt' dreams they do no wrong.
Your mortgage payment rocket--
Like your blood pressure rising,
Executive stresses are the dragons you fight.
In your Armani armour you are practically shining,
So have no code of honour--you must always be right.
Just give me a simple life--my tastes are not demanding,
And whatever life may hand me I'll accept it with good grace;
For I'm just a simple lad with few ideas about my station,
So ale and song will apt suffice to keep me in my place.
How can you know the cost of everything yet never see its worth?
If you think because you've paid the piper you should call the tune--
Well think again my friend life is a gain of chance,
By Fate's command we win or lose,
But still retain the right to choose
If we should stumble on--or shed our cares and dance
SKYCLAD--the veil has lifted,
SKYCLAD--no I see through,
SKYCLAD--your mask of illusion,
SKYCLAD--to the fake that is you.
You charge each other for the time and breath it takes to say 'good morning,'
But the truth is slowly dawning--things are getting out of hand,
We all pursue our shattered dreams along the roads to our own ruin--
Watch our empires sink and wash away like castles made of sand.
And so cast off the lies that are your lives and find the truth within​

Mezarkabul - In Esir Like An Eagle
Long is the night you sleep with dreams of desperation
Poor is the mind you have when used in calculation
And worse the life you'll get when cheated by desires
It's hard to leave your chains of shining gold and artful diamonds

I've seen this child inside you, hiding and fearing the cold
I feel your pain inside me and bring you cure from the old

No mind no devotion in life no possession
Inside no religion like a lion in the jungle
Now is the only time, here is the only place
Meant to be flying in esir like an eagle

Strong is the armour that you've built to save you from your past
And cool is the mask you wear that serves you to fulfil your lust
But know the games you play are made of lies and false illusions
You better leave them now 'cause all will turn to dust in your hands

I've seen this child inside you, hiding and fearing the cold
I feel your pain inside me and bring you cure from the old

No mind no devotion in life no possession
Inside no religion like a lion in the jungle
Now is the only time, here is the only place
Meant to be flying in esir like an eagle
​
