she held a lantern of stolen stars
she was the princess who became
prey to the plants of an ancient land
and this is her tale her fable i sing
with bitterness drowned upon wine

. . . . . . .

entwined tightly in thorns
blood stained is her crown
slightly damp is her whispering moans
pain does escape seeping down
on brazen sand she walks
these broken shards of her lantern
cries for blood from her feet
cracked open this land groans
for her essence it moans
this brazen land will not sustain

and she plants yellow grass...

the wheel keeps turning on
churning lives under it’s hold
as days and nights passes by
there is a story never before told

a long time ago on a moonlit night
someone holding a lantern tight
entered a dim lit cave
somewhere by a dark vale

was trying not to tremble
wanted to meet the ensemble
gathered together for a rite
to ask for forgiveness at the site

there was shapes holding torches
and there was flowing speeches
there was also an order
to sacrifice the offender

someone was bound by an altar
someone held...

pray for me, my dearest love, look into my strained eyes
wherever you are, please try, see what it tries to say
oceans of tears streaming behind my useless sighs
why is this, i can’t believe it was all in one day

i’ve aged like centuries, i am feeling weak now
day you left seems like ages ago but it was yesterday
like a moment ago i swore my life to you my dearest love
i want to live in the sweetest memories of you every day

hold my hand again, like the day you calmed me
i was never down because i lived in your shadow
like the days you went...

dispel all the darkness in your eyes
wipe all the tears you tried to cry
your heart is not feeling any more
embrace the numbness as you fade

on this cruel morning autumn winds blow
as leaves fall on your unmarked grave
your name shall not be called anymore
embrace the forgotten as you fall

sacred moments of candlelight memories
burned as flames faded with smoke
incense heavy spells snared souls
icy cold as mist drained the blood

as our rolling fate became clear
the end was reached but was end nevermore
a cruel game of...

toss a coin if you cannot decide
i see the closed curtains where you reside
melt the coin in to a silver dart
i see the eerie shadows play on your hearth

if you cannot decide yet bring in the wine
i hear baying hounds in the yard as you dine
take a sip and clear your clouded mind
i hear the mourning violins playing your requiem

touch your broken lips feel the biting cold
i hear your sweet breath whispering your last song
hold tight your dart hear what your beating heart says
i see the weak glow dancing on your candles

if you still...
