In a Crimson Kiss lyrics Beyond the lights on the outside, where tears of blood are overlooked ... outsiders never felt the night. It's not so cold when you're not alone... our tears of blood fill the chalice; we drink when the cup runneth over. Tempting death to take us in ... we will not die here in our sin. Under the stars, under the moon. Blackness calls us into itself. Within the shade of tall cold graves, in tears ov blood, we find ourselves. To the edge of life on the of cold steel ... in a crimson kiss, we fall into bliss ... in tears of blood ...

Serenade 06:17
Serenade Come to me, I want to see you in the reflection of the pond. I'm still waiting for you. Danse with me. Oh, won't you take my hand and waltz with me into the endless night. my love. My Love. My love we must reunite again in the darkness. Forever. Forever this time. We are the Dark. Come closer. Oh, so close to me, and this time you shall not leave. Come to me my love. Oh, my darling ... Let us be One.

So Far Away 06:15
So Far Away Here we are again. Another day. Another day of rain. Another weathered letter for you. You're so far away. So many miles between us. But still I come to you. But still so far away. You share the feelings that I feel and it's been so long. Though lonliness can take it's toll, we must be strong. I cannot see you. I cannot touch you. I cannot hold you. I just need to hold you. I just need to hold you. I just need to hold you. I cannot see you. I cannot touch you. I cannot hold you. I just need to hold you. I just need to see you. I just need to be with you. Please wait for me ... we shall be together some day. Together in the rain and I will finally hold you forever and you will never be alone again.

As autumn falls a chill will chase the wind Weak fragile leaves one by one descend Black branches writhe as the pale eye blinks behind Reach out to me silhouette, skeletal dream A forest path unwinds through grove, glade, and glen I wander far beyond Out of the corner of my eye dryads whisper silence, sweetly beckoning Onward still I drift unafraid of eyes that shine in the night, for I know that I'm not alone As autumn falls the haunting will begin Candles burn cold in jack-o-lanterns grin Goblins and ghosts wander in trance, masquerade All Hallows Eve Shadowy, silver-lit dream Fall down my love, in silence

The Cycle 04:23
Horris lost and found a girl with flecked eyes like a rook There was nothing in his world A soul-less life she took Down the stairs that wound around she showed her love the maze Then set on him to guard a hound and left him in a daze Once around the cycle is too long where the fledgling lives Lonely days and lonelier nights Once around the cycle is too long where the fledgling lives… Now in darkness he does reign burdened by friend nor foe She was never seen again… white arms, red lips, willow She was never seen again… white arms, red lips willow Once around the cycle is too long where the fledgling lives…

Union 06:14
Stagnation my kingdom Solitude my bride Alone to govern what I can no longer see Silent…my empire lies quiet Cold…denied, torn, like never before A depressional coma My rule goes unseen This crown my curse This castle my tomb Alone…my empire lies quiet Below…denied, torn, like never before Wake me I will feed off of you Wake me I will grow from you Wake me I will bleed with you Wake me I will die in you Bleed as one Die as one

Shadows Dance Sunlight ... dying. The last moments ov day ... fade. The warm red glow ... grows dim. Twilight ... Enter Night. Slowly ... Black clouds roll ... under the stars. The moon ... hanging in the sky is engulfed by the clouds. The moonlight tries to shine through. It tries ... It tries ... Blackness. A light rain begins to fall. Raindrops ... fall like tears to the ground. Tombstones ... cold ... grey ... representing lives once lived ... and lost. Tombstones ... surrounded by wrought iron gates. Cold ... black ... overgrown with weeds ... now dead ... and thorns, all wet with rain. Time stops ... Life ... slows down ... to nothing ... No color ... no light. Two shadows ... two black silhouettes ... slowly ... silently float toward each other. Cloaked in darkness ... with veils ov cobwebs ... the two silhouettes become one. In silent slow motion, the shadows dance ... over the graves ... and then ... fall to the ground. The shadows faces' ... white ... cold ... wet with rain ... They stare up ... into the sky. The rain falls ... into their empty eyes ... and flows out over their faces ... like tears. Hands clutch rusting daggers. Daggers that stopped their hearts so long ago. Now ... the shadows sink ... back down into the earth ... into their graves.

Souls of October pumpkins face carved macabre draws the eyes when lit within on the darkest nights time comes for masquerade ghosts and goblins and demons on parade scarecrow stands in an empty field all alone he may dance in the mist the witching hours comes alive forlorn souls of october will thrive skeletal branches bare reaching out for you under hunters moon as the bats and owls fly the door between the living and the dead opens wide autumn leaves under autumn leaves autumn leaves turn dark over time all colors fade away leaving nothing but black and shades of grey
