1. Dies Irae

Dies irae
Dies irae
Dies irae

Quando judex
Quando judex
Est venturus
Quantus tremor
Est futurus

Dies irae, Dies irae
Libera me domine
Dies irae, Dies irae
Solvet saeculum in favilla
Dies irae, Dies irae

Mors stupebit et natura
Cum resurget creatura

Tuba mirum spargens sonum
Domine

Dies irae, solvet saeculum
Dies irae, ave domine
Deo cunta stricte disccussurus

2. Keep Me Here

Come and dance as we fade in the night time
Dreaming of spirits and wind
we whisper softly to the slowly passing time
An angel with a tender touch
Angel of death
With dark eyes of a dove
Come and dance as we fade in the nighttime
dreaming of spirits and the wind
And all we want was
so little from you
in return

3. Spirit

Those who haunt me
don't really matter
I still hear them
Innocence and fear
Living flesh and blood
Tender screams hide
When their fleece turns gold
...I still hear them

4. A Joyless Occasion

In the silence, I hear a song
of bird wings on the wind
Celebrating the moonlight
Midnight sings to the rain
The thunder
shakes the melting snow
onto you bed of stone
Gods are poets
and now they score
in the tranquil air we breath
An endless symphony
Take comfort now
and touch the earth
Graceful waves
crashing on distant shores
Solace in you solemn grave
This serenade is yours
Sleep peaceful now fade

5. Thrush And Wake

Feel the ancient sound
with a feathered pulse
The aged thrush
bound to death's dark wing

Silently it asks
"Do we need joy?"

It's nothing more
than shame and loss

Morning choir sings
to warm the hearts
of crueler beings
as they take my wings

6. Yearning For The Tide

In peace, peace of mind
Free.........from care
Quiet by day and lost from your sight
Luminous waves echoes in hallowed halls
Throughthe glass of my tomb
waters stream in
Suffering pride let me live
Concealed by minutes, hours and days
Save the hymns of lesser kings
Open my closed eyes

7. The Funeral Bazaar

Emptiness flowing from nothingness
Even now you can see through their guise
Come one, come all to the finest fair
with fire and fanfare...let the show begin
Fly up to the treeline, sparkles in the darkened glades
How now comes the entertainment in the moonlight
Here now the restless...beguiled, disguised in amber perume
Askant grins to mock you
Behind the veiled resentment flees a single dove
The masque removed they emerge at night
Dropping the masque of delusion
Clouds of weak emerge at night

8. Canticle

And here we gather to bid ou farewell, forging smiles from within
Mask of sculpted skin white as oleander,
raveged by the winter tapestry of snow
from a raging fire down to a flicker...nuturing the silence
echoing farwell melodies...the sweetest note carried to you
nurting the silence, echoing farewell melodies
sweetest note carried to...

9. The Last King Falls

Sleep is he
beneath the earth
slipping from the shell
one step closer
to calm splendor

Beholdant is he
of this mortality
Remaining strong
but bound in chains
while his reign fades

Winged carry him
on their shoulders
In the earth the king sleeps

10. The Hallowing

Morning dew awaits
and recalls our fate
While old souls, tempt us to chase
their pale hues of grace
enshrined within shining light
How shameful we stay posed
yet dignified
Darkened sun turend black
and leaving us blind
But with a light touch
like the thinnest silk
While using a gentle hand
(within this shade of grey)
Bathe us with woe
Hold us here in frozen night
Unveil us mezmerized
Solemn we swoon
we can stay masked for a while
Unveil me
