"And there hath come the time to tell the tale of long forsaken shadows...oh, a shudder came o'er me, beloveth...a symphony of grieving echoes...and through your tears, I saw the age of men, fallen in the slumbers' chalice...there's nothing left but dimness, burning candles..."
We used to write our poetry at dawn
And thou art dead, my dear siren,
I felt your whispers guide the waves,
As if our vows were now forgotten
We were but the innocence of silence,
Thus, I renew the oath I once took at your knees,
A kiss to surrender, my crown for your hand
A song to remember that all things will end...

Faith of Thy Beloved

I have lived a thousand lives
I have died a thousand times
Each body, eternal recurrence
Encompassing resurrection of dead aeons
I’ve cried an ocean of words
For the world that will never change
I was the darkness that brought you flowers
The bleeding metaphor for a deadly eye
I've crossed aeons of flesh to find you
Storm is your touch, death brings your voice
Feeding the lips of dying hallows
For the path you walk, I'll offer myself
Your world, designed in deaf groans
Wicked trace of silence under my heel
You're nothing but worms scorning the mud
Your souls are rotting, for your pity christ
For the path I walk, my art it's a temple
No heavens will wish for my soul
Nor gods will write upon my oath
As for the path I walk, I am the essence
I've crossed aeons of flesh to find you
Storm is your touch, death brings your voice
Feeding the lips of dying hallows
For the path you walk, I'll offer myself
Tonight, the skies are burning in between my ribs
Smoky shadows of amorphous fires
When silence is lost in crimson red
In the eyes of darkness
Tonight I'll die again for your sins
I will dance the mournful waltz
As for the path I walk, no heavens
As for the path I walk, no gods...
I've crossed aeons of flesh to find you
Storm is your touch, death brings your voice
Feeding the lips of dying hallows
For the path you walk, I'll offer myself

Sum presentialiter
Absens in remota…
[I am with you, even tho I am far away]
Moonlight sonata, beyond the graves
Sailing through the valley of my death
Tears drenched in the misery of life
And I wish I could've followed thy steps…
My kiss sweeps the ashes of your eyes
As the blade is taking my last breath
When demons are stealing my remains
Will I burn along with my repentance?
Remember your homeland when light is gone
While I'll wait for the day we'll love again
Will you mourn my soul before the gods
Will you pay the rower for one last tide?
But I see your lips closed in ruefulness
As we take the oath of darken crown
Forever lost, ablaze in hatred,
For I've sinned in the eyes of the goddess
Now a price shall be paid for another day
I curse the hand that took you away
Shards of love of the wandering path
Last of my kind, am I first to be gone?
And I see your arms closed in despair
As we swear the oath of darken crown
Forever lost, ablaze in hatred
For I've sinned in the eyes of the goddess
What price shall be paid for another day
To curse the hand that took you away

When a woman weeps, while the heaven's bleeding
She’s setting traps, with her sorrow's tear
Dismal way to heavens, if she will surrender
When the Reaper's dreaming of my slumber sins
While the sinner’s reaping echoes of your dreams
When the man will kiss the soles of her feet
She'll give to Charon the sign of his creed
A kiss to honour that she's worth of sinning
When the Reaper's leaving the world in abyss
While the lover’s pleading for a world of dreams
Love's conquering death, let me yield to love
Let me sink in passion, when nothing remains
As today I'm ready, to embrace the faith
Of my lover’s shadow, of my dreaming lover
Lurking in the twilight, she was but an echo
Crawling out her madness, above of distress
One last drop of umbrage, feeding thorns of bliss
Falling through the waves
Praying to myself
Falling through the aeons
Yet there’s nothing left
Love's conquering death, let me yield to love
Let me sink in passion, when nothing remains
As today I'm ready, to embrace the faith
Of my lover’s shadow, of my dreaming lover
She was but an echo, I was but her voice
Mortals due to nature, none of us regret
All the longing moments, flesh leaving our bones
Life is but an instant, yet we yield to love…

Twilight under mountains, waves of eerie ardour,
We shall reap the flowers...dear, seal your tears
A song to remember that I've bled through chaos,
Lord of pure catharsis, brought upon a shield
Moonlight of tomorrow…
Memories of rain…
As the starlight fades, we fell out of favour,
Cursed to die like them, trapped by human nature,
Who are we, my dear,
What are we, for them...?
Timeless voice of sorrow, guide my final words,
Life is but the patience, sung by choirs of ravens,
We're the weeping angels, guarding our heaven,
Paragons of virtue, cursed to never surrender
Nothing but the skyline
Where the eagles reign
As the starlight fades, we fell out of favour,
Cursed to die like them, trapped by human nature,
Death has left me hollow, a withered field of echoes,
Past became the future, waves of cosmic dust
Who are we, my dear, what are we, for them...?
Where've you been, my dear, who are we today...?
Her lips, crimson flowers tainted with blood
Her eyes, a poet's tears of bleeding skies
My death, shall bring you silence
We are the twin-flame lovers, trapped within the hour,
Waiting for the gallows, sworn to die with honour,
We are the crimson spirits...fear the wrath of passion!
Hourglass of horrors, bring upon us justice!

What if she lost her life, willfully
The moment you ceased to dream
A siren's tale of sleeping streams
What if the ocean felt forgotten...
Her story, drawn upon lonely shorelines
A thousand waves written by quills
Where have you been?
What have you seen?
Her ghostly eyes shut quiet, still...
She's searching yet, the mournful shore,
No nightingales to yearn your chaos,
No stones to read your fallen name
Written in water
And you’ve given up her ghost once more
We're born to feed the hourglass' chalice,
A brief moment of forbidden passion,
The silence thought to be forsaken,
When madness guards the ocean's door
You sway adrift
My thoughts your anchor,
And death through love has yet to happen
Your eyes, my heart, shall bleed the canvas,
When our tears will be forgotten
My kiss will never reach your lips,
I never thought we’d die surrounded,
By ghastly shapes of withered dreams,
The Lord of Shadows fell asleep.
This is the song they'll chant to others
You've given up my ghost, once more…
You've given up your ghost, for more…
