Once Upon A Time

I am scorn in this heavenly scheme
With a stench of destruction
I'm a reaper of beautiful dreams
And she knows
I'm on the edge
Sacrilege

Push me over

Tell me once upon a time
I close my eyes
And see myself reborn
Righting the wrong
I won't stay to stand in line
Or wait for God to shine all over me
I wait for the storm

I am you
And know that you heard
You and I are the last
At the end of the world
Then we talk
And we run
And we hide
Then so what
The human race
Suffocates

Leave me breathless

Tell me once upon a time
I close my eyes
And see myself reborn
Righting the wrong
I won't stay to stand in line
Or wait for God to shine all over me
I wait for the storm

Move along
Through the ashes of a dream
Move along
And see myself anew again

Where the Wild Roses Grow

[Nick Cave cover]

[Chorus:]
They call me The Wild Rose
But my name is Elisa Day
Why they call me it I do not know
So my name is Elisa Day

From the first day I saw her I knew she was the one
As she stared in my eyes and smiled
For her lips were the color of the roses
That grew down the river, all bloody and wild

When he knocked on my door and entered the room
My trembling subsided in his sure embrace
He would be my first man, and with a careful hand
He wiped at the tears that ran down my face

[Chorus:]
They call me The Wild Rose
But my name is Elisa Day
Why they call me it I do not know
For my name is Elisa Day

On the second day I brought her a flower
She was more beautiful than any woman I'd seen
I said, "Do you know where the wild roses grow
So sweet and scarlet and free?"

On the second day he came with a single red rose
He said: "Will you give me your loss and your sorrow?"
I nodded my head, as I lay on the bed
"If I show you the roses will you follow?"

[Chorus:]
They call me The Wild Rose
But my name is Elisa Day
Why they call me it I do not know
For my name is Elisa Day

On the third day he took me to the river
He showed me the roses and we kissed
And the last thing I heard was a muttered word
As he stood above me with a rock in his fist

On the last day I took her where the wild roses grow
She laid on the bank, the wind light as a thief
As I kissed her goodbye, I said, "All beauty must die"
And lent down and planted a rose between her teeth

[Chorus:]
They call me The Wild Rose
But my name was Elisa Day
Why they call me it I do not know
For my name was Elisa Day

Silverthorn (2012)



Manus Dei

Give me a sign
Sing the words of innocence and broken pride
Make my conclusions fail
Send me a sign
Heal this broken melody
'Cause each day
A dying Hell

Sacrimony (Angel Of Afterlife)

A passing life each day, a carving on the wall
It's like a night without awakening
The truth is lost and maybe never to be found
Like the shadows of my pantomime

When all the world is gathered for the final feast
Will there be someone to believe in me?
Voices echoing in my distorted mind
Is this for real or just a dream?
(Am I losing my mind? I am not afraid, my dear)

[Chorus:]
Sing for me angel of afterlife calming me down
Chaos inside my nebula
And make the wrong turn to right in a celestial light
Forgive my sacrimony

Tell me what they say that I'm supposed to know
Tell me every little detail
Make truth appear for me as distant memories
Like pictures on a silver screen

It all becomes clear
The truth will appear
Forever a debt for you and me

[Chorus]

And now leave me alone
Erase my memory
Don't want to hear, don't want to see
Don't want to think about the lie that follows me

All becomes clear
But no one will hear my testimony

I am your angel of afterlife calming you down
Silence inside your nebula
And when the wrong turns to right in a celestial light
I'll heed your testimony

[Chorus]

(Ring around a rosie,
A pocketful of posies,
Ashes, ashes
We all fall down)

Ashes To Ashes

Ravished from our paradise
A crack in the mirror
I know who's to blame
So full of life but paralyzed
Etched on my iris
But I try not to think of it all...

We swore to god in veritas
And burned our skin like it burned our souls
One dealt with grief by causing pain
She hid behind maple and built her own fortress of sound

Hear this melody almost forgotten

Hush
I've been waiting a lifetime to show you
You're returning to heaven
Like dust to dust
I've been waiting forever to witness your fading
Like ashes to ashes.

Forbidden dance on fragile skin
Why do you shine as I suffer in pain?
The greatest scars remain within
Leaving you now with a heart black as cardinal sin.

Fear this melody almost forgotten

Hush
I've been waiting a lifetime to show you
You're returning to heaven
Like dust to dust
I've been waiting forever to witness your fading
Like ashes to ashes!

Hate... My solution...
Fate... An illusion.

[Chorus x2]

Torn

Like a pendant on the neck of a queen
Ten thousand scars embrace of the stone
As we dance on the stake and a beat
Accuse me, fool me, take all my pain away
My friend singing my final song of honor
Betrayed but still I never came around to open my mind
I was

[CHORUS:]
So much thorns in my head
Like a victim of a fate
Born to regret
Still denied by the spirits of hell
A call to rebel to the vision still standing silent
Like a shadow

Like a martyr that is nowhere to be seen
Ten thousand stars I've prayed for
As we drift on this never-ending sea
Hear me, keep me, take all my pain away
My friend singing my final song of glory
Betrayed but still I finally came around and opened my eyes
I was

[CHORUS]
Like a shadow

Torn by thorns in my head
Like a victim of violence
A call to repent
Denied by the spirits of heaven
Take me up again to the music of dawn

I was torn by storms in my head
Like a victim of pain
Born to regret
Still denied by the spirits of hell
A call to rebel to the vision still stand
Like a shadow

Song For Jolee

There's a shadow in the cold white light of day
I hope that someday you'll forgive and set me free

While standing in the pale white light, Jolee is lost
I wrote a letter to the angels to follow me into the light again.

Underneath the velvet letters of my heart
Always will remind me that I'm hurt and sad

[Chorus:]
I'm sorry but I can't stop the bleeding
Crying and it's all because of you.
One look in the mirror to see
What's real and fake, Jolee.

There's a princess captured in a wooden frame.
I'd trade eternity for one last look at you.

Not playing by the rules
We played the game of loss.
I'll keep on writing to the angels so you're safe 'til the moment we meet again.

Underneath the make-up the scars that sear my heart,
Unspeakable reminder that I'm hurt and sad

[Chorus]
I'm sorry but I can't stop the bleeding
Crying and it's all because of you.
One look in the mirror to see,
What's real and fake, Jolee.

I'm sorry but I can't stop the bleeding
Crying and it's all because of you.
One look in the mirror to see,  what's real and fake,
 
Jolee.

Oh.
One look in the mirror to see, what's real and fake, Jolee.

Veritas

In the mirror my reflection lies to me
That is not the man I want to see
But every harvest takes me closer to my aim
I will be there as soon as darkness falls
My life is but a heartbeat away
And all you've ever had will soon belong to me

[CHORUS:]
(In morte ultima veritas)
You will kneel before me
And you will confess that I'm god
(Vincit veritas in omni re)
Save me your prayers
For death is the answer to life

While you're weeping, feed my anger I stay calm
'Cause I'm sure that you won't let me down
Fading gently to the sound I can't forget
And don't you know that when the music dies
My life is but a heartbeat away
And all you've ever had will soon belong to me

[CHORUS]

(So short but innocent
It always will remain
And all I know is
It was good
My childhood memories
And I was blessed to live)

(Please, please let it die
Or brother this is my last goodbye
I'm begging you)

[CHORUS]

My Confession

Give me a sign
Sing the words of innocence
And broken pride
Make my conclusions fail

Send me a sign
Hear this broken melody
'Cause each night i die
In hell

[CHORUS:]
My god has shown his sympathy
For all the spirits lost
I'll pray for salvation
And peace for ages
Standing in the summer breeze
Inhaling life again
A new day has come
A chance to renew[?]
Forget and forgive

Somehow I wasted all
They sealed my voice and wisdom
But my soul was born
On the battleground

Justice and blood
Long awaited fix of me
And tonight you die
In hell

[CHORUS]

I bind my eyes
Inside my mind
We're bound together
This is my confession
So may your enemy
Alone in my religion
Release my heart
Unfold my tongue

Save a place for me in heaven
We'll meet another day
I found forgiveness
And the meaning of it all
My fear is gone
Gone

[CHORUS]
Forget and forgive

Silverthorn

Curse or repayment?
Truth or illusion?
In my noble asylum
When dark hours linger
The sinister silence
Is bowed into millions of tears

The sweetness of sound
Turns to raging thunder
A deadly serenade

In the moonlight, the bringer of pain
Like fear on a silver plate
I am frozen, betrayed by myself
When will this end?

Same old pavilion
A different appearance
Is playing messiah
All good was taken
A thorn made of silver
Abandoned my will to go on

The sweetness of sound
Turns to raging thunder
A deadly serenade

In the moonlight, the bringer of pain
Like fear on a silver plate
I am frozen, betrayed by myself
When will this end?

Life is a flower, fading away
We are not destined to stay
Love is forever, the spirit is free
Time is a borrowed gift for you and me

The sweetness of sound
Turns to raging thunder

A deadly serenade

In the moonlight, the bringer of pain
Like fear on a silver plate
I am frozen, betrayed by myself
A deadly serenade

In the moonlight, the bringer of pain
Like fear on a silver plate
I am frozen, betrayed by myself
Everything comes to an end
