Embraced Amorous Anathema (1998) 1. A Dying Flame As I slowly close my eyes I can see what I once had Screaming out loud but no one hears Surrounded by emptiness I clench my teeth to hold back the tears The fire that burned is now dying down I cannot hope no more Do not dare to believe Erased emotions, denial of lust I fear the pain of being left alone Lies to myself, just want to forget Years of joy turns to despair Tries to get through the mist of love And I cry along the way Thoughts goes around in my bitter mind Confused, tries to understand My soul is empty, Im dying inside I want to find the path that leads back to life 2. The End... And Here We All Die Guilty, guilty as sin Guilty of putrefaction Feels it tearing up the heart and soul Of the world that I once knew I blame you humanity Now its gone The world is crying And here we all die Leaving footprints filled with despair Storming through what was so beautiful All I see is ashes of life and beauty You will never see another day Marching like thousands of soldiers Destroying everything The sun turns black in front of my eyes The moon is crying A disease without vaccin Spreads like wildfire I call you guilty But do you know what it is I blame you You are guilty Guilty of putrefaction This is the end 3. Nightfall The night is falling over the darkest souls Infinity is calling out To everyone who knows the pain of hearts broken The agony of one word spoken A story told of suffering and pain Of love and hate A lullaby of lies and blame A time of dreams we shared The love we made on the darkest night Shining through the shallow mind Deceiving voices telling lies The truth never spoken An endless choir of sighs Sun is rising on another day Watching shadows disappear Whispered secrets in the shallow mind Screaming, crying, missing, fear Night is falling over the darkest souls 4. Princess Of Twilight My blood I gave to thee my love So pale and beautiful My creature of the night Darkness calls you to me Enchanting eyes cold as ice Looking right through me My soul you took away Kisses filled me, emptying me of my being My luscios vampire You beauty of night Take my hand and lead me To the grave of light Rivers of blood Running from your eyes Oh why, my love Cant you take me Oh why, my love Wont you slay me So pale and beautiful My creature of the night Take my soul and lead me into twilight 5. Into The Unknown As I roam along the path Between life and death Shattered dreams Seem to be all there is left So please bring me forth And show me the way Be my guide and lead me right Bursting out in tears As the agony lays heavy on my shoulders And misery burns like a fever inside me Memories that should be buried and forgotten Haunts me when I sleep An emotionally devastating nightmare That never seems to end This tragedy in wich I live Harvest the last pieces That are left of my miserable soul This endless sorrow of mine devours me slowly So please bring me forth And show me the way Be my guide and lead me right 6. Memento Of Emotions Oh beloved one You have given me precious memories Which I will always remember You are and shall forever be in my dreams My everything... You seduced me and found the key to the portal The portal that leads To the very depth of my heart With a sweet caress You opened the gate of eternal lust My everything... In a divine spell I was held Almost as in a fairytale Embraced by your love, body and lust My everything... ...Deeper and deeper I sink Into the mist of melancholy Fragments of precious moments we had In memory forever In dreams and imagination An everyday growing emptiness Hurts as if a piece of my life has vanished Dismal thoughts of desolation Grieves in my mind I cry tears in solitude I cry my tears for the loss of my everything The pain inside from a broken heart Tears my soul apart The greatest passion of all Fading away Forever lost... Emotions which now Only seem to exist in my dreams Emotions which now seems to be Forever lost 7. The Beautiful Flow Of An Autumn Passion The beautiful flow Of an autumn passion Silently embraces In its mistful darkness The october moon Spreads its pale dim light Like a silken caress Over the midnight landscape The beautiful flow Of an autumn passion So pure and vast Like the sky of an october night In an almost mysterious tranquillity A glorious moment of passion Takes its shape In the great season of tragedy The beautiful flow Of an autumn passion Silently embraces In its mistful darkness The beautiful flow of an autumn passion 8. Dirge Of The Masquerade A whisper of fantasies Like choires in the wind Graceful sweet poetry In the ear of the lover A poem of bloodstained roses Shared in an oath A serenade of desire And celestial lust Enchanting voices dying Soon to be gone Slowly sleeping away Never to be heard again Crimson love set ablaze By the velvet words that are spoken In a masquerade of deceitfull illusions Tasting the nectars of passion Given by the scarlett woman Of the everlasting masquerade Diabolic and seducing As a spell of the passionate sirens Promised eternal passion Fallen in debris Never to be forgotten The end of lovers dream A sombre portrait Of a dreaming lover Pledged to a bride Of the masquerade ...and so the princess of twilight disappeared into the unknown. And then when nightfall came the beautiful flow of an autumn passion faded away like a dying flame. The only memento of emotions she left was the dirge of the masquerade
