My Little Black Butterfly

Oh my little black butterfly, dance for me please in this hour of madness
For where did have all gone the pleasures in the world when I grieve at your absence
Through woes of treachery this damned humanity, and their blatant ignorance our deepened love
So true are all beauty when you once did smile, a mere fleeting solace in darkness enthroned

So now I am lost in the wake of this dawn, for all of my life a dream but in tears
I pray one more night to be in your arms, my wilting spirit, the lady past gone
To watch you in rapture, the song of all merriment, we'd dance for all time as if there's no morrow
Then kiss and embrace, we'd fall on each other, so much of true pleasure like futures engraved!

I treasure your innocence, like the child of the sun, all smiles aplenty and laughters abound
No emptiness remained when you call out for me, so warm and tender your touch on my lips
I'd tread all damned valleys for a chance to hold you, like mosses on tombstones we'd never so part!
For no light or no darkness shall vie for our ending, the feelings we've had for all long time since!

But damned all be chaos; the robe covered men, with metals and waters, they made us so part
In names of false gods they dragged me in chains, then burnt you so festive alive and in pain!
I dropped all my idols when the last you did scream, as fires now charred your weeping sweet eyes
No more of my labels, for gods I once served, now goes to the dogs, to hell with your faith!

And now this proud me no longer in peace, for love and much hatred I've left all to death
To wander alone, in cities and forests, to seek but so always, your beauty white face
A hermit of loathing, a peasant of nothing, or so they might say, but what do I care
For even till now, they'd stop me from coming, to gather your ashes--a monster abolished!

Oh tears are for you my little black butterfly, forever in mourning, my days are but gone
To wilt on for you, no flowers no songs, not even a stone to be in your name, my love eternal...
So when I see rain, I know you'll be there, in mirth and so merry, beyond all suffering
And soon I will come, to hold you again, so wait for me please, and don't you let go!

Musings Of A Vampire

Ah the sweet, sweet life of a bloodless sigh, treat me to a sight far better than insanity
For this is of me forever so lost, eternally lusting for the warm red fluid, my darkly nourishment
And long have I tasted the hope of tomorrow, for dark were my days from here til forever
Bereft of smiles or even a prayer, a pestilence in the walk of perpetual damnation, magnified!

So now this dark rainy of afternoon of gloom, it since had become my playground of stares
For no more shall I to die when he did touch me cold, to commence this damned walk, this ungodly ordeal
And indeed it all stemmed from whence I did say, to me but this world and the rest now be damned
But now who is damned for my cravings eternal, to die not again but the price I did pay?

Ah so much forlorn from where I did stare, the setting of sun the twilight of nothing
For where are my joy when the sun I did stood, now darkness is all that is left of this me
An effigy of regret enshrouds in flames, but hell will I pay if this blood I don't taste!
Too much to remember for the years were the same, to crave one thing but to get another!

Oh tears from my eyes but to me such wasted, for no more will I rue the day my dark pact
Concealed in deceit that horned aswine, for treachery in my part I prayed still longevity
In labored breaths what reason could survive? And so this doomed me now be but the dead!
To live for no more but death of days, and since that damned fate this shell I've become...

So now this dark hunger it becomes my cruel master, for no taste of all others could do me so good
And long had I been in light but in dread, for who could have fathomed this living on blood
As if no more human had lived but in me, mere beasts of the shadows in hunger eternal
To roam the dark streets forever in feeding, no more of indulgence for all things normal!

So if you should stumble on ruins of torn churches, or even of burials for kingdoms of old
Don't look for my face for death is my calling, behind each worn tombstones my mark you might sense
Or even if we're lovers from whence I did live, you'd know it so well we could be but harsh enemies
For the life of a vampire we're no longer valid, and now this white kiss will I part on your neck...

Remembrance In Flames Of Fallen Rose Petals

I maybe a liar to myself for every so often, for never a truth would I tell for a price of kingdoms
But what could this me do, for I'm living with a fool, so tired am I in telling him to get lost
Yet no voices be uttered but within my fiery soul be brazen and red like no fools aplenty
For 'tis not be the best time for retribution of nothing, nor will I forgive myself for these bad feelings

So now I'm lost in fields so golden, so lost but the sight of the things I should do
But maybe this small me is to blame for trying to be me, so naive and innocent despite my real age!
So now this day be the end of all side-trackings, enough now, I say, enough with these shmucks!
For would I be to ruin the best time of my life for shit and sweet-nothings, for real and reality?

No, for 'tis now be the time for action and much mopping, of the mess that I've left when fate hits me thirty
Never would again I'd be so naive, so innocent so stupid and much rank refuse, goodbye and good riddance!
For this may be the line I'd draw on all sands, for the wage in black silver is now on their faces, awashed in grey
And this time maybe, I'd be the other half of the man that I'm supposed to be right now...damn you all!

Flowers On The Wall (Ten Years After)

So let this be the end of all endings, to reap the sows of seeds of the future
For the time of the thunder and the turbid seas are no longer valid in holding on to it
And it's time to let go but still we remember, of all that is lost yet we still feel them inside
As we carve our own way through the fields of the dawning blue sky, in courage and in hope

For we're all too familiar with pain and of sadness, and to those who were there the emotion is unbearable!
But we must not think that we're all but lost islands, bereft of bridges or trusts and so forth
For the strength of humanity we'll show them no fear! To rebuild our lives and to live and let live...
As One God above us has shown us the way, and the proofs of our kind to be but much stronger...

And to this my conviction on the Pool of Reflections, I say no more games of death and much violence
For we know deep inside that this IS our Home! Regardless of how we pronounce it's the same!
So lay down your arms for at least one more day, and savour the sunshine of this early September
Amidst the sunshine and shadows our hearts and our minds, to grief one more time before we move on

For the dawn is but breaking for another new day, a moment of joy and remembrance of bravery
For those who died so others might live, and live we shall be till that moment for us comes
And no more this black shadow of hate and revenge, for we're not the first to live on this plain
And yes we won't sit still and blissfully go by, as our children they'd know of nothing but fear...

So now let's forgive and embrace each other, in tears and in prayers of hope for the future
For when this day dies we're all that we have in us, regardless of creed or race or gender
And faith let's not terror becomes this new day, after ten dark years of hate and distrust
For we are but humans and let us be humans, to fall but still gets up and never stops living!

Hymns From the Galaxy

Oh this lust and twilight hours of life and dust from skysent grace
I give me a will the testament of stars, of streaming white rivers and ravishing diamonds
That floats on the firmament of every new breath, for all of forever in time and in prayers
To me and the lines of lights in this midnight, oh great be my sight my wandering dreams!

To walk all across your gleaming grace, so much untouched but much in my covet
For neither faux smiles or pain that's aplenty, be all but intact when my fingers a-stroking
To whet my appetites of shiny bright clouds, but still more to come, oh wonders don't cease
Within or without though travels be slightly, but who could ignore such a beauty indeed?

So now my speed is faster than thought, but still so wide your backyard of mystery
Before me all stars and still some more stars, with each much more pretty but words might serve less
Than all that my eyes could muster its scope, towards so beyond but still there's much space
Oh God how beauty your paintings they sing but for me, indeed for in me I sing none but praises!

So now I come down from reveries Almighty, to sit once again on grasses and piety
To mull on my life for my lost dream of stars, to take back reality that awaits on my door
But never will I leave without much great words, in praises of hymns from the universe above me
So maybe one day we shall be not apart, but thrice jubilations for prayers throughout me!
