Officium Triste The Pathway 1. Roses On My Grave Roses on my grave, Withered. My headstone crumbles, Forgotten. Since the day I died, You mourned for over a year. I saw the way you cried. The way you shed those tears. You came to my grave. Fresh roses every week. A ressurection you craved. Oh, you were so weak. But as time flies by. Your life got back on track. Eventually you stopped to cry. My headstone started to crack Roses on my grave, Withered. My headstone crumbles, Forgotten. My grave you visit no more. Past tense I have gotten. Fresh roses nevermore. I am forgotten. 2. Pathway Of Broken Glass Follow the trail of blood, From my feet, I left behind, On the pathway of broken glass. Broken glass everywhere I walk, In every direction I go. To the left, the right or straight on. Every step my blood flows. And I bleed, For you, For them. Wish I could leave, With you, And them. To be free From glass From blood From pain Away from this pathway The pain I feel at every step I take. On the road you call life. Suppose it's some sort of debt I've made. To be paid by blood left behind. 3. Foul Play I'm sick of hearing you bitch and moan I wish you'd leave me alone You follow me wherever I go What don't you understand in: "No!" Your presence really annoys me Why don't you leave me be Being with you wasn't all that fun I've had enough and pull out the gun Take this lead You know I've said I'll bring you death I'll take you out to keep you silent I'll take you out so I hurt no more I'll take you out to be free from anger I'll take you out you fucking whore Now that you're gone I'm free and I can go on living like before You had your pleasure in bringing me down But I was good enough for you to stay around You had me trapped in your maze of lies In silence I screamed and in woe I cried The only solution that I've got Is becoming a sinner in the eyes of god Take this lead You know I've said I'll bring you death 4. Camouflage Running away from problems and pain Realising life ain't no game Trying to hide from the past Starting all over, camouflaged I look over my shoulder to see I'm not followed Hunted by thoughts of the life I've lead Pain, hatred, tears and sorrow A choice between a new life and death. Living in hell is no option to me A new beginning and identity Camouflaged so I can't be found No more nerves when hearing a sound Free from pain and another face A new name and a new base Starting all over trying to forget Hurting memories and the things I regret 5. Divinity A sparkle in this chaos ridden infinity The light, my goddess, ultimate divinity Draped with velvet and silk She provides honey and milk Heart and soul I sacrifice The love for you never dies You're my life I realise You're so fine You are divine Divine woman you stole my heart Other gods I will discard You are the one I will serve I bow for your shapes and curves Entangled we reach our paradise A garden of eden behind our eyes Fulfilled with lust and desire My veins burn, my heart is on fire Oh my goddess what have you done to me My love for you, it shall forever be. 6. Deep Down The darkest time in my life Feeling lost, where can I hide The downward spiral in which I am Fucking leads me to the damned Deep Down I float in apathy All black That's called misery A mistery... to me Unable to tell what's the cause Searching for answers enclosed in fog Unable to determine how I got lost Entering a world of black frost Crawling back, a useless task The last beams of hope I cannot grasp The downward spiral, I'm falling fast Release me at last. Unable to tell what's the cause Searching for answers in the fog Unable to deal with reality What are these visions I see Unable to determine how I got lost As I enter this rotten world of black frost Deep down I float in surreality Freezing cold That's called misery A mistery... to me 7. This Is Goodbye This is goodbye I am leaving, we tried We failed, we're done Goodbye, I'm gone I am through with you, I am leaving this hell Our love is lost, there's nothing more to tell Everything's over, the passion's gone I'm out of here, goodbye, so long. It's not my fault You're the one to blame I cannot stay Don't want to feel no more pain I'm through with you Everything stops here today No future together The price we pay So this is goodbye I'm forever gone So this is goodbye I'm staying away Officium Triste are: Johan - guitar Gerard - guitar Pim - vocals Martin - drums/synth Lawrence - bass
