Verse #505

The time we have with those we love,
more precious than the stars above,
beyond all mortal means of cost,
can never be regained once lost.

Verse #504

Another journey starts today,
another chapter in the book,
another song for life to play,
another chance to stop and look.

Verse #503

Protect your heart from darkness with the light you hold within,
Secure your soul against all that encourages you to sin,
Remember who you are and all the love you have to share,
Keep safe from what may hurt you but embrace all those who care.

Verse #502

Though age brings vulnerability,
it also brings maturity,
new worlds of possibility,
and true responsibility.

Verse #501

Confiscate all but my name,
imprison me in your cruel game,
convince me that you're not to blame,
abandon me in all my shame.

Verse #500

We sometimes see the future long before it has begun,
the path laid out before our eyes no matter what we do,
we travel down this road we share towards the setting sun,
just grateful for the time the world has given me and you.

Verse #499

Your heart has long abandoned me,
your love has left me cold,
our souls were never meant to be,
alone we must grow old.

Verse #498

We walk these ancient shadowed streets within our war-torn hearts,
our dreams a painted canvas of long forbidden arts,
our souls entwined by angels both fallen and in flight,
our bodies joined forever in darkness and in light.

Verse #497

Though darkness reigns upon the land,
through iron fist and cold despair,
the day will come to make a stand,
to build a world we all can share.

Verse #496

Drench me in the downpour from the dark clouds of your pain,
drown me in a torrent of depression once again,
hold my body under as you fight to reach the shore,
leave me here to rest at last upon your ocean floor.

Verse #495

Stare into the darkness that has gathered round your soul,
light a match and let the flame burn for your self control,
strip away the shadows and the cold that lies within,
take a stand and light the way so that your heart can win.

Secluse

His fangs have slowly dulled with age,
His wings have long been cut,
Yet still he feels the ancient rage,
From when the gates were shut.

He thinks back on the happy times,
Still dreams of better days,
The cool breeze of those lofty climbs,
Before this bitter haze.

His mind awash with memories,
The pain beyond compare,
His face a mask of pleasantries,
The truth so few could bear.

He prays each night to start anew,
Still hopes for something more,
To end the torment he's been through,
So that his soul can soar.

Verse #494

Hear our whispers in the night,
catch our shadows out of sight,
find our secrets in the light,
cleanse our souls and join our plight.

Verse #493

The memories we hold define the future that we see,
the journey that we take influenced by the friends we find,
our past the key to everything that makes up you and me,
each memory we've shared preserved by those we leave behind.

Verse #492

In the magic of the dawn,
on this bright and sacred morn,
far from evil and its spawn,
your weary soul will be reborn.

Evergloam

Walk within the shadows that are calling to your soul,
Give yourself to darkness and surrender all control,
Let the spirits bathe you in the love that night can bring,
Free yourself from conflict and just let your black heart sing.

Walk within the shadows that have ever been with you,
Listen to their whispers and remember every clue,
Understand each secret and the path ahead will clear,
Trust your sacred family to conquer all you fear.

Walk within the shadows that once followed in your wake,
Feel much closer to them with each catching breath you take,
Find the peace and comfort that you never thought could be,
Stay here in the darkness where no one but us can see.

Verse #491

Home is not a building nor a point in space or time,
home is more a feeling when your world is just sublime,
home is where your heart lies and where all pretense is gone,
home is where the truth is and the light of love has shone.

Verse #490

This time is for forgiveness- the cleansing of all sin,
a time for starting over so healing can begin,
the re-birth of our spirits and the joy that life can bring,
a time where love and family reign over everything.

Verse #489

Let me take you with me on a journey through my mind,
beware the broken landscape and the shadows you will find,
take notice of the monuments to friends along the way,
perhaps you might create your own within my heart some day.

Verse #488

With dawn she finds a new direction,
within the cool air of reflection,
her heart cloaked in true love's protection,
prepared for all of life's rejection.

Verse #487

Nothing that you do will make a difference in the end,
from everything you make to every message that you send,
the more you try to change you find the more will stay the same,
when all is said and done you're just a face without a name.
