Chalice Chronicles Of Dysphoria Solitary Waves The change is made within an innocent breath A veil around an existence Accursed with a solitary death Dancing a line of unending decline Over chasms I knew not to be A wave of emotions 'pon desolate oceans That drown in a lust to be free Though birds may sing it is oft unsure Does the joy of life from their spirits stem? To grace the skies yet shy away From the eyes that most adore them All that is hurt and all that is loved are one Does the blood on these hands Now dry in the heat of the sun? Admist a sea of tranquility Must I writhe on a desperate shore? A spirit and mind no longer aligned With an honour I cannot restore Guilt shall feed the nightmares That I slumber with this eve Tomorrow I must walk among the shame How sad it is, a mind that Harboured such control and pride Is now the sickened brethren of the lame The Amber Twilight Darkness stretch these realms that taint me On these sheets forever curled She who drew the light from shadows Never shall again be held... Spectre of the idle hours Rest upon this dying sun We who touched the souls of all In mortal life shall not be one Life bereft of sight or reason Save your gentle afterglow I, beneath a placid dreaming Cower when the soft winds blow Cower for its all I know Mourning shall I slumber always Rise to wish of dreams that mend The agony of your departure Will this sadness never end? Evergreen immortal pasture Whence you rest, a dream below? Do you live in timeless love Or shall your pain I never know? One day shall we grace these skies Entwined again forever held Together in the amber twilight One within another world As Powder Turns To Dust When they finally claim you All matter will cease, all dreams will expire And with a dead angel's touch And the loss of myself The vapour will fade Until the day that I join you When you finally take yourself Day will be night, all will be nothing As the flickering candles that lit up our chess Can burn no more When the queen has fallen Now I cower in this hollow room Acutely aware that the time is approaching When what I love above all else Will be only my greatest memory It's both tragic and symbolic That in your darkest hour You can still shine so bright Ashen For a love that might have been...... Thou shalt forever hide And though in death you may reside The conscience of forgiveness isn't clean Writhing in the never ending Madness of forever The blood upon the window is the parting light that severs Every tear that ever flows Like petals falling from a rose Across this lonely path you are a wind that seldom blows Blinded by the night my troubled flesh embraced the light The curse of dust and earth are like the icy wind that bites Through every tear that ever flows Like petals falling from a rose Impressed on every vein You are a mystery that grows Interlunar Dreams The night sky lights the fallen star To hold us in its grasp yet mock us from afar As cancer holds us all askew To mourn the dying now and start a life anew The shadows move the moonless breeze Across the lustrous shore As flames engulf The anechoic halls forevermore In fields the night is but A thousand interwoven beams To close my eyes and never rise From interlunar dreams My dying moment's searing kiss The final proclamation Of what I'll never miss Beneath infinity I see The radiance within And what I loathe in thee How did the source of all things grand Become a mortal tomb? How did such sadness stem From love embodied in the womb From earth the night is like A calling home, or so it seems To close my eyes and never rise From interlunar dreams The futility of being, The heavenly despair The gushing smears of pain At last unfurled As crimson love expands Around a now eternal stare I dream alone For this is not my world Memorial Embers Where once a naive child learnt the ropes of life and pain An ashen path has forged to view those remnants with disdain As leaves descending earthward are a seasonal display Within those trees and subtle breeze I fell to grace today Where once a sheltered boy had learnt the sadness of his past An ashen path has forged to burn the memories at last As snakes discard their fettered skin and carry on the same Without that flesh the life is fresh, as though reborn again Shadows of a candle once adorned With ambiance beneath a dying flame Unending is the grief so long alone The crying light to death reborn again Reborn again Reborn again Today the snakes lie naked And the land's adorned with leaves And I rest upon the sunset With a soul that's learnt to breathe Today I fell to grace Amongst a thousand rising embers Beneath the sky they fade and die At last... lest I remember
