Nurture

Play me a tune and sing me a song,
Help me to learn so I can sing along,

Tell me a story that I can believe,
Something to comfort each time that you leave,

Show me the magic in all that we do,
Keep my heart safe and forever with you,

Take me out into the world that you know,
hold me and love me so that I can grow.

Darkstaff

This is the moment,
This is the end,
This is the break that we never will mend.

This is the minute,
This is the time,
This is the dream that will end in a crime.

This is the morning,
This is the way,
This is the god that will rule us today.

Lovestrong

How can I describe a world,
where you and I are not as one,
a place where we have never met,
a time when our love's not begun,

How can I describe a scene,
where you and I are not to be,
a place where we were lost to hope,
a time our souls could not be free,

How can I describe a hell,
where you and I are far apart,
a place where we are still alone,
a time before you healed my heart,

How can I describe a dream,
where you and I are one at last,
a place where we live happily,
a time where love reshapes the past.

Verse #24

Hold my heart,
and make me whole,
share my love,
and save my soul.

Verse #23

Clouds of day and stars of night,
shades of life and points of light,
thoughts of love and dreams of flight,
signs of hope and peace in sight.

Freedominate

These voices deep within my mind,
Hide treasure that no map can find,
A secret quest my heart must seek,
In silent words their voices speak.

This guiding light upon my soul,
Reveals a life in their control,
A chain that lets me think I'm free,
So far from where I want to be.

These hands that keep my heart at bay,
Protect it from attempts to stray,
These claws that tear my flesh away,
Remind me of their hold each day.

Drift

Dream of me and drift away,
Scream for me but keep at bay,
Nothing left for us to say,
Love is lost when lovers stray.

Dream of me but do no more,
Find your own way out the door,
Nothing left but memories,
Love long lost and in the breeze.

Dream of me now that you're gone,
Shame that you were not the one,
Nothing left for us to do,
Love is lost for me and you.

Angel Art

Safe within your cloak of sound,
Blocking out the world around,
Floating on angelic ground,
Hidden where you can be found.

Standing here against the wall,
Close enough to catch your fall,
Waiting at your beck and call,
Thinking how to make you stall,

Creeping just a step behind,
Always in my sights to find,
Keeping you in heart and mind,
Hoping you will act in kind,

Stepping out into your life,
Introductions with a knife,
Walking now like man and wife,
No one here to aid your strife,

Leaving you my sacred mark,
Putting out your angel's spark,
Pretty eyes now cold and dark,
A work of art so bold and stark,

Safe within my cloak of sound,
Thoughts of pain and death abound,
Keeping them deep in the ground,
Hidden so they can't be found.

Verse #22

my home and heart,
often apart,
yet always there,
with love to share.

Timeout

So little done, so much to do,
so little time for me and you,

so little left, so much behind,
so little hope still there to find,

so little now, so much back then,
so little time to start again,

so little said, so much to mend,
so little love left for a friend.

Verse #21

Awake- I am the only one,
my eyes fixed on the rising sun,
my heart beats to the ticking clock,
alone here on this ancient rock.

Verse #20

Time is short and moving fast,
we're all alone when life is passed,
so value those you hold most dear,
and always try to keep them near.

Verse #19

All my wishes and desires,
all my passions and their fires,
all my hopes and dreams come true,
all of this I'd give for you.

Iron-clad

Six years gone and here we stand,
in memory of us holding hands,
through vows declaring truest love,
in front of men and gods above.

Six years gone and more to come,
you always were and are the one,
through every dark and lonely time,
you've always helped my soul to shine.

Six years gone and here we are,
we've travelled hard and very far,
through all the pain and every fear,
we grow much stronger every year.

Six years gone and five as three,
as perfect as we'd wish to be,
through everything that comes our way,
as one we'll always win the day.

Sunchild

The sun is rising in the sky,
her tiny voice emits a cry,
her first look at the world around,
her mother's voice the only sound.

The sun is higher in the sky,
her little legs find strength to try,
her first steps in this magic world,
her wonder at this life unfurled.

The sun is further in the sky,
her sleep brings dreams where she can fly,
her mind learns what her heart can do,
her heart learns all that can be true.

The sun moves on across the sky,
her heart is pure but often shy,
her hopes are in each parent's hand,
her future waits for her to stand.

Verse #18

This verse is no more than it seems,
just simple thoughts, and shades of dreams.

Manimal

A species long removed from beast,
yet in the way we walk and feast,
our origins can still be found,
despite belief we're somehow crowned.

In all that makes us who we are,
our ancient ego is by far,
our greatest gift and darkest curse,
to come so far and yet reverse.

As through our deeds we rule the land,
and praise ourselves for all we've planned,
yet in the end we're all deceased,
for we are no more god than the beast.

Nocturne

Shadow hide the hunter,
for his fangs are surely wet,
keep him in your corner,
as his plans are drawn and set.

Shadow guide the hunter,
for he lives to bring you life,
keep him safe in darkness,
as his soul is in his knife.

Shadow save the hunter,
for his run will end in time,
keep him in your long embrace,
and death will be sublime.

Shadow take the hunter,
for his life on earth is done,
keep him with you ever more,
and make your dark hearts one.
