Lyrics:

I open my weary eyes once againMy life has been left hollow and ashes have filled the gorge of my withinLast night I hoped and wished I'd die in my sleep but no catharsis was granted tomeWill this pain ever pass?The enchanting perfume of winter and the bleak, cold breath of her still hauntsme...Oportet ubique pulchritudinem evanescereSo half of me rode to the mountains and the other half soared high in the windsto a place where the angels had fallen, the soil gagged and choked on their wingsMy soul was the pale skyline that she stretched across the horizonTwo years had brought the fire that she paints upon my loathsome canvasShe is the dark one...As a bird I watched her from my cold tower in the heavensand when she fell from the northplace, I flew down and embraced herI took her where the snow falls forever, she showed me the haunted woodsWe gathered together in the oaken palace, free from both death and lifeThe fire blazed in her eyes one day and she tore the soul from my chestWith a bleeding heart, I flew back to my cold towerto never escape and lie in a pool of death foreverI saw the nightfall...It called to me like a river of shadowsIt sang to me with the cries of a thousand ravens that blackened the sky as theytook flightand sank the SolI shall never trust the sun again, Eridanis NadirI ran away far into the woodsTo find the Sol, I called to her..."I don't want to be forgotten...I never wanted to be human"NEVER!!!!!So alas the sun had descended, her fire burned brilliant in the skyThe trees bore their withered silhouettes, that cast a spell upon unearthly whiteNo wolf shall keep his secrets, no bird shall dance the skylineAnd I am left with nothing but an oath that gleams like a swordTo bathe in the blood of manMankind...[Music by Haughm (7/97 - 1/99)]
