Elegeion Through the Eyes of Regret 1. Silence 2. Through The Eyes Of Regret I have found myself lost Walking down these familiar streets, Those strange faces stare blindly I withdraw into my mind In this solitude, it is sadness I find In lament, I live a lie I long to live, yet hope to die… Eyes window the pain Contained in me Face masks the torment You will never, ever see Enclosed within these walls They've muted all my cries Trapped alone in darkness I never felt alive Then I briefly saw the light A fools paradise I felt the sun's warm rays When you gave me back my life But now that dusk i near Lost again, I find I'm back in those dark woods, Although now I've seen the light Although it shone so brief It cleansed through my mind But as a fire soon burns out All the hope I had has died I walked through the shady graves Buried beneath the mire Not a single soul can be saved In weariness, I tire Oh, how I long to live! Yet I hope… to die. 3. Oration Of Indifference If peace exists, We fight within minds times that are placid Compliment times when we cry Such is the path That you follow, but deny Benevolence, the evil Where what's natural is defied Beware the malefactor Who appears before your eyes One who portrays an image Is the one whose truths are lies If peace exists We will fight within our minds Placid times we cherish For we know one day we'll cry For we know one day we'll die… The undertow of misery It grabbed my heels and pulled me under I could not swim, I could not see, The heavens wept with rain and thunder All the pain I keep inside You know it doesn't mean a thing All the years of Silent Cries If this is life, I'd rather die Getting near to shed my tears For my life, those wasted years But if a chance to start again I'd change it all, everything This earth… That I cried for… I care no more… Wasted time I've spent… Now I'm indifferent I see the white path before my eyes I follow it and hear no lies The objective essence is all I see For there's no pain in apathy Oh, I feel The secrets in life have been revealed Oh, now I see To know the truth is to be free. 4. Thoughts It makes me sigh Watching life go by I see the darkest night Under the pale blue sky To know what's real I cannot see Hidden beneath the mask, Even when reality be I have been blinded Afraid to see The darkness in the light Elude the truth, the way it be. On a Winter's morn I see the Grey Dawn The cold chills my spine Like the hatred in my mind I went to the forest I went to the lake Saw my own reflection I saw two eyes, so full of hate (Please help me…) As I gaze into the sea I wish there was no one here, but me To be at one with this earth Let all rest in peace, allow a rebirth (Let your life go…) 5. Etiolation I have no desire to see the light Forever dwell in darkness The many truths are the same to me Cleanse my mind from their harness 6. A Rare Moment Drunk with the scent of Daphne Dizzied by the flight of the bee Mesmerised in the surge of the ocean Creation, it encompasses me I feel there's a place for a soul, But where would it go? I know when there's fire within (peace from within) Is it me, or could it be him? Far beyond this moment in time I sense a presence near From beyond what entered my mind Sweet voices of the night sky I hear 7. Pain And Elation Those closest to death Are those who feel most alive One who lives is one who feels And one who feels is one who dies… inside. 8. Depleted When you look into my eyes You will not see a thing alive For what rests inside this head Is what once lived, yet now is dead. A man who always dreamt of life Tried to live but died inside A man who lives, yet chose to die Is dead inside, yet still alive. That man was killed by a thousand lies Not a mortal death, but a death inside. Those few who bear me no disguise Show me truth behind the lies Tell me of your wild desires Your truth shall reignite my eyes. 9. For Eternity
