SUNDAY'S ALWAYS DEAD

You always loved the poets
though you never understood them
in the fraction of an instance
the meaning leaves you for good then
*
I wish I had a yearbook
to frame your porcelain face
Planned a perfect rebellion
to make our escape
*
But you never really loved me
more than a friend
And friend somethings are forever
Sunday's always dead
*
No one stays at all
in this abandoned place
they only ask for directions
back to where they came
*
It's so unworthy
Who am I to say?
But since I am the author
this to you, I dedicate
*
A fraction of a turn or
the stitch from a thread
I might have been
other than
*
Now no one comes to the store
And no one walks in the streets
And no one laughs for anything
but humility and defeat
*
They think it's really cool
to watch the suffering dead
who haunt these streets with valentines
Sunday's always dead

STAY

Hold me once more
before you leave
I think you should know
what secrets keep
*
Close the door
it won't take long
to reveal the truth
denied you so long
*
Hold me once more
one last embrace
I'll show you all the things
words can't say
*
I'll show you everything
just close the door
Are we alone?
There's so much in store
*
They've asked me again if you want them to stay
you can hide behind your hands, but they won't go away
*
They've asked me again if you want them to stay
you can hide behind your hands, but they won't go away
*
Hold me once more
before I sleep
to wake again
where dreams hide
and seek
*
They've returned again
from the secret place
imprisoned no more
inside the mirrors face
*
They've asked me again if you want them to stay
you can hide behind your hands, but they won't go away
*
They've asked me again if you want them to stay
you can hide behind your hands, but they won't go away

THE DOOMED ONES

Through the pitch black and a thousand suns
with our wheels on fire, shot from a gun
*
Come into the night
Take a ride with us
*
Under the glow of the Devils Moon
We'll challenge the gods for the world to rule
*
Come into the night
take a ride with us
*
We're a spectrum of light that dwarfs The Sun
We're a cannon fire of bone and blood
*
Come into the night
Take a ride with us
*
The Doomed Ones
*

Come into the night
take a ride with us
*
We're a spectrum of light that dwarfs The Sun
We're a cannon fire of bone and blood
*
Come into the night
Take a ride with us
*
The Doomed Ones
*
Condemned to relive this constant tale
There's no escape for the damned today
*
We know we're ghosts inside our guts
to Hell and back
as I make my cut
*
Come into the night
Take a ride with us
*
Come into the night
Take a ride with us
*
Come into the night
Take a ride with us

REMNANT

There's a shadow that seems to follow me,

a scar I can't erase,

like wounds through the skin of

some ancient armor,

I have worn with other names

AUTUMN ETERNAL

The death of the green has begun

our world moves away from the sun

and you may regret that it's come

but for me it's the place I belong

*

Night brings the cold of our birth

Day brings the promise of hearth

She's never more beautiful love

Autumn Eternal has come

*

Oh, let me die in her arms

where frozen and fire can't harm

For this is the place I belong

*

Colors that burst and then burn

crumble and fall to the Earth

Winds that bellow the calm

crisp and cool on my arms

*

Born to the Winter I was

But die in the Autumn I will

And when my time is gone

I'll go into darkness fulfilled

*

The death of the green has begun

Our world moves away from the sun

and you ay regret that it's come

but for me it's the place I belong

*

Night brings the cold of our birth

Day brings the promise of hearth

She's never more beautiful love

Autumn Eternal has come
