Shadow Forms

Roaming alone in the halls of this mansion
I wonder why I’m having cold shivers
When I walk all alone, haunted by
these paintings
I lost my mind in the halls of this mansion
I wonder where… where was I on that night?
When I lost all this time, searching for a meaning
I swear the world is not the same
something’s moving in the shadow
No one ever fully escape
the corridors of our own self
Running scared amidst the floral tapestry
I’ve almost fell, tripped and fell to my death
As this carpet is laid, with far too many horrors
As a bat out of hell I’ve been pacing
these wood floors, marching with
pain to my final commitment
When the light glow is gone, a mind
deprived of colors
I swear the world is not the same
Something’s moving in the shadow
No one ever fully escape
The corridors of our own self

Relic

The Relic
Is in the room
Relic
The Relic
Is watching you
Lifeless and stateless
It embodies you
Primitive and Timeless
It empowers you
I am the one
In with you
Being and feeling
Part of you
Tell the others
The meaning of fear
Time to move
You know what you have to do
The relic
Will frighten you
Live in pain
And come for more
No need to run
We are one
Fire will be
Burning inside thee

Death from Above
03:33
|
|||
|
A siren rang
Loud and clear
Cold as fear
As it sang
The cry of Death
Every shriek
Made us weak
Out of breath
The bombers high in the sky
Will I see you tomorrow ?
The bombs falling from the sky
Burning away my sorrow
Hell is raining down upon us
Washing away all our skins
And if you think there’s a God among us
Remember who died for our sins
A silent scream
Void of tear
Hold me dear
Bloody dream
An empty town
Full of bricks
No more tricks
Shaken ground
The bombs falling from the sky
Will I see you tomorrow?
The bombs falling from the sky
Burning away my sorrow
I’m lost within the rubbles
of my own devastated heart
I’m walking now as a shadow
my inner soul breaking apart
Our lives thrown in the flames
Tonight is not the day you die

Theatre

Tell me where do we go
when the theatre close
I’m not done with this night
I’m looking for one last fright
Let’s head down to the cemetery
Let’s chase ghosts through the tombs
Awaiting the end of obscurity
While singing old tunes of doom
Les âges d’or, leurs vies et leur déclin
Un cycle éternel, une roue de chagrin
Un jour la lumière s’éteindra
Et sur cette pierre tombale
une fleur tu laisseras
Where do we go
After this show
Come on with me
Into the void
The night is dark and the air is cold
Dim lights shinning across
You see the spirits flying by
and you can hear them sing
where are we now?
Lueur de jeunesse éternelle
La vie au jour le jour
Les nuits sans frontières
Sans remords et sans regrets
Le temps n'existe pas
mais ta mémoire restera
Where do we go
After this show
Come on with me
Into the void
Tell me where do we go
when the theatre close
I’m not done with these nights
I can’t live without my frights

Le Baiser de la Mort
04:04
|

Je veux goûter au pouvoir
Goûter le sang de la gloire
Je veux y baigner mon corps
Faire l’amour avec la mort
Je veux goûter au pouvoir
Goûter le sang de la gloire
Je veux y baigner mon corps
Faire l’amour avec la mort
I … would never die like white Lucy
I would rise from my grave
To live eternally
Free… Free to be as Lugosi
I will not be a slave
of the conformity
I’ve lost myself to some degree
Corrupted by my own debris
And philosophically you said
these words to me
Je veux gouter au pouvoir
La source de toutes les conquêtes
Qui traverse les millénaires
Le sacré, le légendaire
Je veux gouter au pouvoir
Le sang royal qu'on vénère
Le noir qui vient des ténèbres
Le dernier baiser mortel
Je veux la vie éternelle…
And all the while so silently
The void looked at me directly
And way too seriously you said
these words to me
Wandering inside this city
Soulless superiority
And diabolically you said
These words to me
Traverser le miroir
Pour libérer son âme
Aller dans l'obscurité
Pour s'aimer à jamais
Je veux goûter au pouvoir
Goûter le sang de la gloire
baigner mon corps
Le doux baiser de la mort

Please say the Words
02:38
|

|
Say you love me
Tonight Please say you care
Tonight, Say you love me
Tonight Tonight
When all the lights are gone
Nothing is left to be said
No stones left to be unturned
Darkness a veil from pain
See just how grief has scared me
My salvation in these words
Say you love me
Tonight Please say you care
Tonight, Say you love me
Tonight Tonight
And I thought I’d see it all
As the words slowing died in your soul
What the hell was I looking for ?
Do you remember the feeling?
Do you think these are deceiving?
The perfect end to every evening?
Say you love me
Tonight Please say you care
Tonight, Say you love me
Tonight Tonight

I cannot be without your love
The world is dark and I can't see
I go crazy without you love
Life so ugly I need you here
I am a zombie dead inside
My blood is cold, my heart is stone
Come to me
Be with me
Hold me
Love me
Tears in to rain
Fire from the skies
Life is love
Death is fate
Another day without you here
Is a night that never ends
Can’t find my way without you dear
Come on now and we'll be one
Hurry
Find me
Breathe with me
Sin with me
My dream is lost
My life is still
Your love’s gone cold
My time is void
Without you
The love I yearn
Doesn’t exist
I face the fact
But I deny
I just want to feel your heat
Just want to see your light
Every day without you is lost
This life is cruel we are alone
