THORNS OF THE CARRION LYRICS

1. Cry The Everstill Dream


Your eyes shall burn the passion cry
As black clouds call the fire's kiss
For the smoke shall dance the sweet muse tears
And lay you down (in sorrow)
As I cry the everstill dream


2. Tears For The Raven Muse


I have lost all on fields of black remorse
As scarlet tears drowned thy will and thy hope
Fading with the sun were thy precious dreams
Yet still her sweet face was with thee as I died

She is the raven that kisses the wind
And echoes the fears of man
She is a vision of subtle melody
Soft black lace graced her skin
Pale as the ivory night moon
Morose and beauty over me
Consuming all...

The winds carried a mist of red death over dead crowned hills
As the rain quelled the burning fields now drowned in blood
The trumpets of man's war rose silently from far distant woods
As a pall reflection of melancholy in the wrath of this deceit
Clouds of ashen gray dew down the sorrow of their lives
The end of all days is here and time must now fall away

Yet thy eyes went to her grace and drowned in her beauty
I devoured her elegant warmth and caress, delicate in it's endless care
Yet thy heart went with her blood that day, an eternal part her
This raven took from thee thy life and gave to thee an undying lust

As the sun gently drifted beyond hills stained with red
I arose to a world of scarlet hued tears frozen in filth
There upon the scarred earth I gazed forever into their lifeless eyes
Downcast hollowed shadows of man crying silently in repose
Their lives had become one with thee and their souls I claimed
I had been reborn into a darkness greater than man

The eternal scarlet sun has set beyond this land
And before thee the lives of thy people have gone...
(I must weave this tale of sorrow and despair
This tapestry of depression is the story of thy life
For sadness is the raven muse of tragedy...
Sadness is the raven muse of tragic loss)


3. The Tragedy Of Melpomene


Shall I rest thy heart in your arms
To silence the pain, to soothe the sorrow
For weary am I with chains of sadness
Bound by love to tragedy's dark muse

Under the moonlight, a black moth fluttered from thy mouth
As locust swarm kisses soft, gently caressed thy eyes


4. Bleak Thorn Laurels


Thy love, I gather the thorns for thee
To speak the scars, sad many.... they are

They bleed their palms across thy face
They are the tears I wish to shed
Yet only tears of red shall fall
On this night, on your grave

The scent of dried flowers, rest upon the palls
As night graces rose garlands black
For bleak laurels of dead lilies and thorns
Hang so silently still upon walls draped in ornate death
Wailing in sighs deep and forlorn
In mourning I wish only to corrupt the silence
Cold marble reflections of dreams lucid in sorrow
A vision of beauty that forever sleeps

I am the one who regrets
Her loss, her love, the wasted years
For time withers away her ghost
And I live only to collect her tears
To lament the memory of her laugh
For her breath is still held close to thee
Yet she sleeps so still in thy arms
Yet thy kiss falls harsh on her lips

I am nothing yet I am, I am everything yet still I yearn
Let these bleak thorn laurels honor the vast sorrow I have endured

The sad cypress sings of black star lit nights
Caressed by the crescent moon's blood red hue
Let the petals fall upon this sullen path
For nature's sweet kiss knows your song of tragedy


5. The Drifting Snow


The snow drifted down upon long barren hills
Painting the frozen land an ethereal white
Among the graves we danced slowly in the night
As fruitless trees swayed in the burning cold wind
Like the diamonds hidden along the earth that day
She was nothing more than a shade, a delicate shadow
I kissed her scarlet lips as if for the first time
I drank deep her essence warm and inviting
I gazed forever into her dark eyes
And I caressed her beautiful pale face

In the dark stillness she rested in thy loving arms
Though I wished her to stay I knew the dawn was waiting
For us the sun arrives without welcome

I have seen the glory of the gray dawn
Awash in the black tears as the snow drifts down
These winter days of cold are the misery I die upon
For I have known the lovelorn life, of which I wear
that broken crown of scorn and mockery
I have known truth in hate

Love wears thin our pride and bitter is the taste
Of life and death we dance for our souls to find

For time consumes the hearts of man
And beckons the call of death's sweet kiss
The days are soon departed as loved ones long ago

There is no joy in the sadness

I had seen the sad farewell in her black eyes
Yet I held her closer still under the scarlet moonlight
I had seen the sad farewell through the gray clouds afar
As they stole away the night and out exquisite sorrow
In that eternal silent moment I knew the death of dreams
As she fell from thy arms I had seen the end of all hope
I have lost all


6. Beautiful Thorns To Caress The Girl


All fades from me
I grasp at nothing
All is dead and gone

Cobwebs cover me
My heart's so empty
Take away the pain

Darkness covers me
I lie here wondering
Why am I so alone

No voice calls for me
I stare into nothing
My heart's so black and cold

As darkness covers me
I lie here knowing
Why I'm so alone


7. By The Brilliance Of Candlelight


In the day, in the night
To all, to each thy sadness
For thy words, for thy pain
Shall speak for all time

For snakes of silver throat lie in wait for thee
As I sing a death hushed dirge of suffering, shining gray

On dew kissed mourning grounds I burn the candles black
For the sun shall rise and light this poppied field
And all thy weeping words will flee from thee
For all the sorrow I have known, Shall bleed in silence
And as she sways thee softly in time
I see that I am nothing, but broken shards of emptiness

All I've known, All I've touched
Shall wither in her raven arms
All I've known, All I've loved
Shall perish in the embrace

Yet know I'm dying, dying, dying for....thee
For life is tragedy in remembrance


8. Memories Forever Unadorned


O' Death come close thy eyes, and grant thee your eternal kiss
Your sweet embrace, is the bitter warmth I seek
O' Death come close thy hands, O'er this lifeless flower
Let the petals fall, upon memories now adorned

I shall lay her down upon the shores of our love
Awash in the pale light of the night's sky
The winds that carried her laugh and stole away her cries
Shall be with thee that morning that eternal dawn
The beauty was hers to enjoy yet not to give away
Like winter's sad dance upon rose's scant life
With frost brushed tears upon thy blood stained hands
I saw her soul drift away, never to hold again

I shall never forgive the gods for the misery they gave her to thee
For the pain of her death has destroyed the joy of life and love
I shall never again behold her grace nor her divinity upon thy eyes
Like grains of black sand falling through thy desperate grasp
I have mourned her grievous loss draped in a gray veil of deceit
Distant memories entwine thy hatred for the loneliness of life

I would give this dark gift away for one more moment in her arms
I would cast away this sullen husk to kiss her lips once more, once
more...
I yearn to feel the sun's warmth once again upon thy face
I begat this daystar to steal away these piercing days

Only in the rapture of the sun shall I find thy happiness
The years wear thin the pride and there is no more joy to find in life

The poppied sleep is what I dream of these last hours
In meadows of ebony flowers swaying in the wind Life is there, in the
raven sky
Bliss is found in the rolling clouds that mock thee (for they are free)
Bliss is found in the starlight that beckons thee (for life shines no more)
There is no fear, only adoration

Your rivers and your streams have grown
To fill the seas with mournful tears
Of thy heart and thy pain shall rain down
To fill the seas once more
Your gown and your crest of black
Is the tempest of which I seek, Bestow to thee the eyes to see
The glory of thy days first dawn

Thy ancient passion breeds the fear you lust in man
I have become unto thee what no man may dare
The fruit is wine, yet it is poison
The bough's are many yet they are weak and brittle
They are delicate ashes waiting for a gentle wind
The wine is mud, and the dreams are dead

Your rivers and your streams have grown
To fill the oceans deep with blood
Of thy breast doth scarlet rains drown
To fill the oceans once more

Grief is lost to these memories I have adorned
Ornate decorations of life forgotten in the march of time
They shall perish with the sun, fading
For this, I shall not fear you when your hallowed gaze is cast
I await our dance in the twilight with each lifeless breath
Erotic and passionate death, absolve thee

O' Death come close thy eyes and steal away the night
The flower has died and crumbled to dust
O'Death come close thy hands to this empty void
The blood has dried and the passion has gone

I shall follow the night's descent beyond the mountains glare
And await the day's arrival, slowly finding thee
To admire the beauty of the dawn is to greet the eternal sleep
Yet with open arms I concede this loss, yet gain
Farewell to life and love and farewell to the pain
Sorrow will not find thee again, I am beyond its' call
The mourning's calm is upon thee, the caress is warm like lust
There is no pain in the burning, yet I know death is here


9. The Ashen Embrace


Thy love, the sun, the roses yet bloom
Marble clouds, pastures pure, autumn's sweet breath
Yet starshine black, mud tears forever still
For ashes fall as snow thy love....like sadness
