Verse I leave the dawn behind me, Beyond the dusk I find my way. The path that lies before me now, I bid farewell to old ways. The law of god’s creation, A decree which no longer holds This being that is not a man, And yet is not a beast. Pre chorus Blood flows cold through my veins Are those eyes mine, have they changed? Verse 2 Vitality within you, A crimson force so enticing. The only way to satiate The hunger of a fiend. Pre chorus 2 Look into my eyes and Fall to my charm, you’re all mine. In this embrace we are One at last in your final death knell. Chorus Born into the chaos of a world built on disorder, When a life so fragile wanes, is each breath taken in vain? We must all find our place, in this cruel savage garden. Beauty exists within fleeting moments between kindred Get my pleasure from your pain, and to me you do the same. Savage beings we be, in this garden we play in. Verse The tides, they're flowing past me. Adrift within the sea of time. This gift that binds me to the dark, my human life is no more. Verse 2 Mortality’s restrictions, I left their shackles far behind. Though my doubts may never fade, My nature guides my way. Pre chorus 2 Chorus Bridge Please, don’t leave me be. The wear of years takes its toll, you Must face it with me. Against the citadel of time. Bridge 2 I assert my will To preserve my sense of self. I'll defy your rules. I’ll poke the sleeping dragon. Chorus Chorus 2 By the moon my life illuminated, From the shadow I watch as the world passes by, A relic of times long gone, an old world evil. I continue to prey upon these humans I love so. Though unnatural, my existence continues. With this dark gift I have wandered the years. But I know just beyond lies the abyss I glimpsed From our conversation when nothing else at all mattered. End A dark angel flourishes in this savage garden. Amen.

Verse 1 The horizon split in twain, over blackened seas Crimson rays pierce an endless roof, smoke and fog entwined. Unveiling, broken, and burned, Lands of shattered bone. Tomb and stone, broken. Bridge And from the shore, A sight of seas and skies, Ascending, falling, bend to meet Together. And from the depths, As black as any night, an Inmost rising force to cleave the welkin Chorus Clouds unfurl and light­less beam, A thousand, million angels scream. Faces twist and turn in agony, as they look to the sea. Ashen arms and wings unfold, Reaching up, start to take hold. Cherubs crushed and thrown into the sea, groping hands stop their plea Chorus end And lined along the shore, they twirl and dance, The children, laughing, playing. Flesh fading, blown away, taken by wind, Porcelain faces shattered. Verse 2 Hills that bend and mountains fall, turned within themselves. Earth Covers Earth in endless waves, corpse upturned in time. Remains smashed upon the shore, up from depths return, Outstretched arms, wings wide Chorus Ave verum corpus Stop start part Miserere nobis, Miserere nobis Dona nobis pacem, Dona nobis pacem Miserere nobis, Miserere nobis Dona nobis pacem, Dona nobis pacem domine! Slow part Those, long forgotten now, Leave behind, their tombs, and bones, and stones, Beckoned to, blackened depths Of yonder, oceans. Bridge Chorus x2 Chorus end

My Requiem 13:32
Opening Not a soul among these ruins, Chapel walls of stone like cracked upon the hallowed ground. Deep within a wood desolate, The church bells toll. Verse Long the road I have tread the years of my life, Of mist and moonlight, The grave and the immortal hunger, I’m damned on this earth, I have wandered in solitude, Lifetimes slipping away. Now at the end of all I’ve found from a time, The spring of my life, A vision of grandeur once sacred, divine, Alas fallen, a victim derelict of time. Weary I lay my head. Chorus Now, time has come, (time for the end) For a preternatural life’s end. (on this day) Here, on this day of warth a wandering damned finds it’s final tomb. All washed away, (all lost in time) As the rain weathers the stone, years and (centuries) centuries forgotten, lost forever. As it was, it shall be. Fast verse The silence is broken, distant the sound, a call in the night. An ominous drone, increasing in strength, from earthly maw. The rolling thunder, the trumpet now sounds, a force drawing near. It’s the voices of hell’s dead. Fast Bridge Rising from their graves, the rumbling earth is split. Forsaking their tombs the dead have finally come to take me. The churchyard bells herald their coming, triggered by infernal winds, As sanguine rain is swept across the land, skies fall. Fast verse 2 The low hanging clouds, now blackened and burnt, they part like the seas. Descending on high, wicked cavalcade, reaping time has come. Demonic ensemble draped in shadow cast the world in gloom. Countless souls claimed in gripping hands. Fast bridge 2 Centuries spent alone, a life anonymous. As this hellbound soul is claimed, those lifetimes rendered wasted. For in time as moments pass into a memory, then are lost, All things shall be as if they never were: My requiem. Opening (alt) The last bell tolls. Chorus x2

Woah, oh, oh For the longest time Woah, oh, oh For the longest If you said goodbye to me tonight There would still be music left to write What else could I do I'm so inspired by you That hasn't happened for the longest time Once I thought my innocence was gone Now I know that happiness goes on That's where you found me When you put your arms around me I haven't been there for the longest time Woah, oh, oh For the longest time Woah, oh, oh For the longest I'm that voice you're hearing in the hall And the greatest miracle of all Is how I need you And how you needed me too That hasn't happened for the longest time Maybe this won't last very long But you feel so right And I could be wrong Maybe I've been hoping too hard But I've gone this far And it's more than I hoped for Who knows how much further we'll go on Maybe I'll be sorry when you're gone I'll take my chances I forgot how nice romance is I haven't been there for the longest time I had second thoughts at the start I said to myself Hold on to your heart Now I know the woman that you are You're wonderful so far And it's more than I hoped for I don't care what consequence it brings I have been a fool for lesser things I want you so bad I think you ought to know that I intend to hold you for The longest time
