Princess haggard looked so beautiful
All dressed in black
With white make-up and dark purple lips
She sat on the throne so full of majesty
The onlookers were dazzled by her beauty
And worshipped the ground she walked upon
The King was not well
And expected to die soon
And the Queen had died long ago
So the young princess would soon rule the Kingdom
Everyone was impressed with her intelligence and grace
She carried out her duties without question or complaint
And she would always greet new visitors with a smile
Once the audience was over she...

I came from the dark without.you and ever since have been living in shadows....

Death, my friend, you are always there,

from you, no one flee, you are everywhere,

still, I wonder, why you are never here...


Death, my friend, you release others from pain,

all those people, they get free, so many slain,

yet, I ask, why I am still here in vain...


Death, my friend, you everywhere see,

from you, just redemption, can I plea,

here I ask, come here, set me free

Death in its complexity will wage war and rage

and whilst Eros persists, it's Thanatos who prevails

can't silence the skeptic that plagues the mind

life and its longevity stretched before my eyes.


"The casket calls, put this demon to rest!

A heavy-hearted sigh heaved from my chest

the poison that tricks my vision, the cynic that shrieks

all hope remains hidden while desolation creeps.

My mouth is stitched shut to stop stupid words leaking

reduced to nothing but a willow weeping...

too much...
