Verse #252

Gone but never truly lost,
always here inside your heart,
love will bridge the distance
crossed, never will we be apart.

Verse #250

Standing on the brink of tears,
Drifting on the winds of pain,
Sinking in a sea of fears,
Lying here alone again.

Verse #249

Stare into the setting sun,
set your demons free to run,
lay to rest what has been done,
let your heart and soul be one.

Verse #248

Caught between the wrong and right,
Chances missed along the way,
Wasted moments gone from sight,
Losing more each passing day.

Verse #247

Breathe the scent of this new day,
Feel the wind run through each tree,
Set your goals and find your way,
Let this sunrise set you free.

Siofra

Creature of my own design,
Brought to bear upon this world,
Taking all that had been mine,
Deadly talons neatly curled.

Demon of Angelic form,
Crafted from the depths of me,
Spirit pure and heart so warm,
All that I could never be.

Spark of life that chose to stay,
Making way for something new,
Glowing brighter each new day,
Forcing me to see this through.

Sunlight on my darkened mind,
Creeping underneath my skin,
Love that I could never find,
Keeping me from hate and sin.

Verse #246

Reach into this broken shell,
Take the heart that beats within,
Send my soul right back to hell,
Punish me for all your sin.

Forgotten

From the light each one rebelled,
To the dark each gave their soul,
Shadows of the forms they held,
In this endless night's patrol.

From the light each one was sent,
Through the dark they made their way,
Cursed beasts beyond repent,
Craving for the break of day.

From the light each one was cast,
In the dark they made their home,
Far from their once noble past,
Ever more the night to roam.

Art of Life

Sketch your life into my mind,
Fill the shadows with your pain,
Leave all troubled thoughts behind,
Here with me you're safe again.

Paint my love upon your heart,
Frame your soul in my embrace,
Sign this precious work of art,
Keep it in that special place.

Carve your dreams into my skin,
Trace a path that links each one,
Separate the hate within,
Free yourself from all you've done.

Forge a perfect world from this,
Sculpted from our flesh and bone,
Somewhere safe in endless bliss,
Far from all you've ever known.

Verse #244

You take away the best of me,
And put it to the test to see,
What use the rest of it could be,
Chained up lest it should set me free.

Verse #242

Darkness follows every move,
Shadows covet every groove,
Demons goading you to fight,
Angels call you to the light.

Verse #242

Wake up with the rising sun,
See the world reborn anew,
Take a fresh look at this life,
Show them all a stronger you.

Before the Now

Thinking back on all I've seen,
On all the pain and joy that's been,
Everything that has brought me here,
Through all the times of hope and fear,

Thinking of all that I've known,
The good and bad that I've been shown,
All that has taught me wrong from right,
Through darkest day and darker night,

Thinking back on all I've done,
On all the journeys I've begun,
Everything that has shaped my mind,
Through all that has been left behind,

Thinking of my life thus far,
Each battle that has left a scar,
This future I could never see,
Through shadows of what could not be,

Thinking on to times ahead,
Of all that I no longer dread,
The life that I have come to know,
This love I hope will ever grow.

Verse #241

Speak to me right from the heart,
Share your secrets from the start,
Seek true freedom in the night,
Spare my dark soul from the light.

Verse #240

Breathe into my frozen soul,
Bring the flames to life once more,
Keep my heart in your control,
Safe from all that came before.

Verse #239

Sweet Somnus I implore thee,
Take me to your sacred keep,
From this restless world of shadows,
To your haven of the deep.

Verse #238

Loved ones must someday depart,
Gone but ever in our heart,
Though we miss their company,
Love lives on eternally.

Verse #237

Nothing to say now and nothing to do,
All that I am now is nothing to you,
Everything over and everything through,
All of me gone to make everything you.

Verse #236

Find the path that others walk,
Set the pace in your own way,
Help those that are left behind,
They may help you another day.

Verse #235

Falling into shadowed graves,
Sinking in these blackened waves,
Feeding darkness all it craves,
Breathing life into it's slaves.

Verse #234

Show me somewhere never seen,
hold me when I start to scream,
bring me hope for what has been,
give me more than just a dream.

Show me somewhere never seen, hold me when I start to scream, bring me hope for what has been, give me more than just a dream.

Verse #233

Life grants us but a single chance,
a solo movement in this dance,
our moment lost in just one glance,
no way to break out of this trance.

Verse #232

Build me up and tear me down,
storm my Kingdom and my Keep,
breach my walls and take my crown,
leave me up in these dungeons deep.
