Where have all the feelings gone?
Why has all the laughter ceased?

Why am I loved only when I'm gone?
Gone back in time to bless the child
Think of me long enough to make a memory
Come bless the child one more time

How can I ever feel again?
Given the chance would I return?

Why am I loved only when I'm gone?
Gone back in time to bless the child
Think of me long enough to make a memory
Come bless the child one more time

I've never felt so alone in my life
As I drank from a cup which was counting my time
There's a poison drop in this cup of man
To drink it is to follow the left hand path

Why am I loved only when I'm gone?
Gone back in time to bless the child
Think of me long enough to make a memory
Come bless the child one more time

"Where have all the feelings gone?
Why is the deadliest sin to love as I loved you?
Now unblessed, homesick in time
Soon to be freed from care, from human pain

My tale is the most bitter truth
Time pays us but with earth and dust
And a dark, silent grave
Remember, my child

Without innocence the cross is only iron
Hope is only an illusion
And Ocean Soul's nothing but a name
The child bless thee and keep thee forever"



End of all hope



It is the end of all hope?
To lose the child, the faith
To end all the innocence
To be someone like me

This is the birth of all hope
To have what I once had
This life unforgiven
It will end with a birth

No will to wake for this morn
To see another black rose born
Deathbed is slowly covered with snow

Angels, they fell first but I'm still here
Alone as they are drawing near
In heaven my masterpiece will finally be sung

It is the end of all hope?
To lose the child, the faith
To end all the innocence
To be someone like me

This is the birth of all hope
To have what I once had
This life unforgiven
It will end with a birth

Wounded is the deer that leaps highest
And my wound it cuts so deep
Turn off the light and let me pull the plug

It is the end of all hope?
To lose the child, the faith
To end all the innocence
To be someone like me

This is the birth of all hope
To have what I once had
This life unforgiven
It will end with a birth

Mandylion without a face
Deathwish without a prayer
End of hope, end of love
End of time, the rest is silence

Mandylion without a face
Deathwish without a prayer
End of hope, end of love
End of time, the rest is silence

It is the end of all hope?
To lose the child, the faith
To end all the innocence
To be someone like me

This is the birth of all hope
To have what I once had
This life unforgiven
It will end with a birth




Dead to the world



All the same take me away
We're dead to the world

The child gave thought to the poet's world
Gave comfort to the fallen
Heartfelt
Lovelorn

Remaining, yet still uninvited
Those words scented my soul
Lonely soul
Ocean soul

It's not the monsters under your bed
It is the man next door
That makes you fear, makes you cry
Makes you cry for the child

All the wars are fought among those lonely men
Unarmed, unscarred

I don't want to die a scarless man
A lonely soul
Tell me now
What to do

I studied silence to learn the music
I joined the sinful to regain innocence

Heaven queen, cover me
In all that blue
Little boy, such precious joy
Is dead to the world

Heaven queen, carry me
Away from all pain
All the same take me away
We're dead to the world

Dead, silent, constant
Yet always changing
My favorite view of this world

As he died he will return to die in me again
Weaving the cloth, giving birth to the century child
Who gave his life not for the world but for me
Innocence reborn once more

Heaven queen, cover me
In all that blue
Little boy, such precious joy
Is dead to the world

Heaven queen, carry me
Away from all pain
All the same take me away
We're dead to the world



Ever dream



Ever felt away with me
Just once that all I need
Entwined in finding you one day

Ever felt away without me
My love, it lies so deep
Ever dream of me

Would you do it with me?
Heal the scars and change the stars
Would you do it for me?
Turn loose the heaven within

I'd take you away
Castaway on a lonely day
Bosom for a teary cheek
My song can but borrow your grace

Ever felt away with me
Just once that all I need
Entwined in finding you one day

Ever felt away without me
My love, it lies so deep
Ever dream of me

Come out, come out wherever you are
So lost in your sea
Give in, give in for my touch
For my taste, for my lust

Ever felt away with me
Just once that all I need
Entwined in finding you one day

Ever felt away without me
My love, it lies so deep
Ever dream of me

Your beauty cascaded on me
In this white night fantasy

Ever felt away with me
Just once that all I need
Entwined in finding you one day

Ever felt away without me
My love, it lies so deep
Ever dream of me



Slaying the dreamer



I'm a priest for the poorest sacrifice
I'm but a raft in a sea of sorrow and greed

You bathed in my wine
Drank from my cup, mocked my rhyme
Your slit tongues licked my aching wounds

Put a stake through my heart
And drag me into sunlight
So awake for your greed
As you're slaying the dreamer

Swansong for the wish of night
God, it hurts, give a name to the pain
Our primrose path to hell is growing weed

Put a stake through my heart
And drag me into sunlight
So awake for your greed
As you're slaying the dreamer

Blame me, it's me
Coward, a good for nothing scapegoat
Dumb kid, living a dream
Romantic only on paper

Tell me why
You took all that was mine
Stay as you lay
Don't lead me astray

Tell me why
You took all that was mine
Stay as you lay
Don't lead me astray

Wake up, mow the weed
You'd be nothing without me
Take my life if you have the heart to die

You bastards tainted my tool
Raped my words, played me a fool
Gather your precious glitter and leave me be

The great ones are all dead
And I'm tired too
I truly hate you all



Forever yours



Fare thee well
Little broken heart
Downcast eyes
Lifetime loneliness

Whatever walks in my heart
Will walk alone

Constant longing
For the perfect soul
Unwashed scenery
Forever gone

Whatever walks in my heart
Will walk alone

No love left in me
No eyes to see the heaven beside me
My time is yet to come
So I'll be forever yours



Ocean soul



One more night to bear this nightmare
What more do I have to say?
Crying for me was never worth a tear
My lonely soul is only filled with fear

Long hours of loneliness
Between me and the sea

Losing emotion, finding devotion
Should I dress in white and search the sea?
As I always wished to be, one with the waves
Ocean soul

Walking the tideline
I hear your name
Is angels whispering
Something so beautiful it hurts

Long hours of loneliness
Between me and the sea

I only wished to become something beautiful
Through my music, through my silent devotion

Losing emotion, finding devotion
Should I dress in white and search the sea?
As I always wished to be, one with the waves
Ocean soul



Feel for you



You were my first love
The earth moving under me
Bedroom scent, beauty ardent
Distant shiver, heaven sent

I'm the snow on your lips
The freezing taste, the silvery sip
I'm the breath on your hair
The endless nightmare, devil's lair

Only so many times
I can say I long for you
The lily among the thorns
The prey among the wolves

Someday I will feed a snake
Drink her venom, stay awake
With time all pain will fade
Through your memory I will wade

Barely cold in her grave
Barely warm in my bed
Settling for a draw tonight
Puppet girl, your strings are mine

Barely cold in her grave
Barely warm in my bed
Settling for a draw tonight
Puppet girl, your strings are mine

This one is for you, for you
Only for you
Just give in to it, never think again
I feel for you



Phantom of the opera



In sleep he sang to me, in dreams he came
That voice which calls to me and speaks my name
And do I dream again?
For now I find

The phantom of the opera is there
Inside my mind

Sing once again with me, our strange duet
My power over you grows stronger yet
And though you turn from me
To glance behind

The phantom of the opera is there
Inside your mind

Those who have seen your face draw back in fear
I am the mask you wear
It's me they hear
Your spirit and my voice in one combined

The phantom of the opera is there
Inside my/your mind

He's there, the phantom of the opera
Beware the phantom of the opera

In all your fantasies, you always knew
That man and mystery
Were both in you
And in this labyrinth where night is blind

The phantom of the opera is here
Inside my/your mind

Sing, my angel of music!



Beauty of the beast



1) Long lost love

Trees have dropped their leaves
Clouds their waters
All this burden is killing me

Distance is covering your way
Tears your memory
All this beauty is killing me

Oh, do you care?
I still feel for you
Oh, so aware
What should be lost is there

I fear I will never find anyone
I know my greatest pain is yet to come
Will we find each other in the dark?
My long lost love

Oh, do you care?
I still feel for you
Oh, so aware
What should be lost is there

2) One more night to live

Safely away from the world
In a dream, timeless domain
A child, dreamy eyed
Mother's mirror, father's pride

I wish I could come back to you
Once again feel the rain
Falling inside me
Cleaning all that I've become

My home is far but the rest it lies so close
With my long lost love under the black rose
You told I had the eyes of a wolf
Search them and find the beauty of the beast

All of my songs can only be composed
Of the greatest of pains
Every single verse can only be born
Of the greatest of wishes

I wish I had one more night to live

A saint blessed me, drank me deeply
Spitting out the misery in me
Still a sinner rapes a thousand saints
Sharing the the same hell with me

Sanest choice in the insane world
Beware the beast but enjoy the feast he offers

Sanest choice in the insane world
Beware the beast but enjoy the feast he offers

All of my songs can only be composed
Of the greatest of pains
Every single verse can only be born
Of the greatest of wishes

I wish I had one more night to live

3) Christabel

"Oh, sweet Christabel
Share with me your poem for I know now
I'm a puppet on this silent stage show
I'm but a poet who failed his best play
A dead boy, who failed to write an ending to each of his poems"
