Her soft eyes see through my tortured soul vanishing any hope for fantasy the thing I'd give, to prove myself to her, to make her see... Jaded eyes awake as her selfish words rain from such placid lips still I kiss her silken flesh Frigid air leaves me breathless foolish agony fills my lungs as I try to scream for her I confess...I scare myself through the howling wind, on my knees, I cry ...listen to me... I'm broken by her silence to a love unseen blood soaked feathers rained down my wingless angel so broken falls gracefully from the sky to waiting arms...to waiting arms... Such foolish agony fills my lungs as I try to scream for her jaded eyes wake to the sounds of my voice as I scream to her in dreams I've seen her silhouette dance across golden light and autumn...in my dreams... +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 4.

cries out, heavens boil above voicing discontent to my sins I have found the way to trick the ferryman I have deceived the ancient Gods Cold flesh lends to me its secrets for a price too high I shudder at what I have done each day brings me closer to you, my tragic victory Darling queen I lay at your feet... chills take me as she wakes, throat gasps tainted breath Ive reclaimed you my stolen bride can your soul forgive my crimes of passion? I would not close the casket; Im so consumed by your pain faint screams echo through the night... The pains of death can no longer haunt you as the dawning sky brings forth one forsaken thought death can not win for I now dwell in the palace of decay and I shall stay the hands of fate Night descends, sinews twitch my pale queen finally stands to taste silent lips now cursed with her love +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 5.

I've lost you for good without regret your once gentle words are bleeding from my eyes screams of terror now fill my every breath I know you'll rue the day you ever met me I'll lay you down to sleep when sorrow will bury the blade hilt deep You know I would have died for you now I'm forced to choose between a life of revenge or regret as I thirst for vengeance, my heart struggles to come to grips why would you leave me to die, turn, and walk away? Alone, you stood so still as you watched me break did it now kill you too? what has led you to the dagger my friend? My revenge is made so clear midst cold tears left with the betrayed I'll see that you never forget this I will hunt you down like a dog lies could never disguise what I saw behind me in you remembering times we have shared...my friend for life is gone we'll let the embers serve as the only memory of last days, so long ago Why would you leave me to die, turn, and walk away? Why would you leave me to die after you had buried the dagger hilt deep? ...You're dead to me... I would have died for you now I'm forced to choose between a life of revenge or regret as I thirst for vengeance, my heart struggles to come to grips why would you leave me to die, turn, and walk away? ...You're dead to me... +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 6.

It's me again, is it me or am I wrong to be concerned? will the beauty of your pen ever cross my eyes again? was this all a lie? why? Make it stop, make this pounding in my head stop fill my lungs with air, give me one more day to make her dreams come true she understands right? that I'm not coming back... she understands right? that I'm not coming back... make it stop, make the pounding stop I'm not coming back, I'm not coming back, I'm not coming back... I don't know what happened...who would have thought my life would end up like this? I didn't mean to hurt her, not hurt her like this...I can't feel my legs I can't feel my legs and I can't even cry...how could somebody die like this? If my words ever reach you I'll assume you don't care never knew that silence could cut so deep or that you could twist the blade now I curse all of your beautiful lies..

I'll lose myself in anguish for tonight help me get over you one last false apology help me get over you I feel so numb to see this bitter end of beautiful illusions... would this be the same? broken pieces will not mend to save our past now...go away...

I'm gone will you forget me? pen wears its steady course across the page resigned to it's designs to take the hive Emptiness has darkened my eyes as I hopelessly bed for my life to end ...tell me

I wish I could make you see, I wish I could make you see through the pain through the end, I wish I could make you see the greater purpose that I have to serve... no one else will fight...no-one else will fight...so I must my iron eyes tell the tale heroes always pay in their blood I can be only this I see the fear growing in there... +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 9.

The air now reeks with the presence of your vile voice As your smile masks the advance you keep ...I am not your trophy... Please try to say more carefully you no longer need me This back and forth is killing me The only eyes you'll look into are those in your reflection You are the means of my end This conversation is over, it's over... Your truth is a deception meant to poison me I can't seem to believe you ever cared for me ...This conversation is over... Your empty words now drift away as fragile whispers I saw the day when the fire left your eyes, your tongue fell still Your treason is silence... Take everything away from me silent angel Leave me nothing to remind me of this time now lost ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 10.

I watched you steal my thoughts and had to see you smile As you build your dreams on my shattered hopes Ill look back on a day once loved and fantasize for tragedy Beg me to make this easier and listen to my hopeless cries Suffer alone in emptiness I lust to see you swallowed by the mess that you left in your wake disgust lies deep within your empty gaze... Beg me to make this easier and listen as my hopeless cries send stares into your meaningless eyes My envy cant describe how I loathe you for having all the stars leaving my eyes to marvel the sky knowing it should be mine yet its you I see wasting the dream that only I deserve Ill tear off your face to see your smile. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 11. The Third Temptation Of Paris No Bass The horizon, now as dark as the crimes that brought them here, is filled with my impending dread my foolish actions will cost so many good men Achilles has come... A thousand sails approaching sent here in her name to reclaim the one I stole and destroy the walls of Troy Desire leaves me numb to all the pain surrounding me storms will arise to condemn me I will not die before her eyes... it ends tonight Tragically I now must accept the penance I have earned she is cursed and tonight we die in the dawn of this, my end, I hold my sword true I must let her go... It ends tonight, I am alone pain fills her eyes, I am alone I must save my honor, I cannot let them win, the blood of many spills sacred and profane is our love in death... ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 12.

Wind chokes on the ashes as acrid smoke strangles the sun their jealous arrows ran, hollow drums pound at the gates breaking the din of screams our feeble offerings to forgotten Gods are left to rot in temples of their lust as they lay forth their plans to destroy our pride, our home ...Beg the flames for our mercy... these aged walls have seen too much to forget the past in the face of this final trial watch her crumble so true as mayhem cuts her down let them have our treasure, her voice lives on let them take our city for her splendor lives on ...At long last we will fall... +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ That was it Hope you enjoyed and please rate :D +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ | RaiLeff | | Underground__Dora@Hotmail.Com | +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
