(Words by William Butler Yeats)
A sudden blow: the great wings beating still
Above the staggering girl, her thighs caressed
By the dark webs, her nape caught in his bill,
He holds her helpless breast upon his breast.
How can those terrified vague fingers push
The feathered glory from her loosening thighs?
And how can body, laid in that white rush,
But feel the strange heart beating where it lies?

Marching in Circles

Marching in Circles
The culture of fear prevails across this land
Rivers of tears for sons and daughters gone mad
They'll never know the end is always so near
They'll fall to their knees and pray
For the light to take you
They're marching in circles again
We stood in disbelief and watched it burn
Get back in one piece from a place of no return
We're on a road that will lead to our doom
Lost in the dark, your heart is a four chambered ruin
Haunted by ghosts and filled with just the pale moon
They lie through their teeth and we'll meet our fate soon
They poisoned your mind with just one book
It breaks my fucking heart to see this fall
We tried so very hard to heed your call
Regrets is all we'll have when this end comes
I'm back for my revenge and I smell blood
We're not dead yet.

Small Fortune

Small Fortune
We set sail across an ocean of despair
Where silence was the siren's call
And though they tried so many times
To sink us down
Together we ploughed on
Through canyons of black waves
And always kept a diamond in our mind
While we fought back demons
It gave us something to believe
Something worth fighting for
It gave us something to believe
Something worth dying for
We set sail and we're never coming back
We looked inside ourselves
And we found a small fortune
We found a small fortune

Where I Belong
A part of you
A part of me
Must die
Before we plunge
Into the black tonight
Turn to me
And say my name
One last time
We won't look back
That's in the past
The wind through the trees is all I'll be hearing
I'm finally free with nothing to believe in
It will be cold outside when I am leaving
Where I belong
The looking glass
Old photographs
Of times long gone
Burnt out old flames
Trapped in their frames
Forever young
A winding road
A faded book
You're gone
People want
What they can't have
The moon makes the sea forever restless
The emptiness in me was sent here to test us
It will be cold outside when I am leaving
Where I belong
Save me from myself
The world is such a cold
And a lonely place
Without you
I tried to know myself
Without you
I tried to know myself
But its no use
Its no use.

Shot Down

Shot Down
Dead eyes look back at me
Headlines, beware of me
They say all will end well
We prey on what we can sell
The glory of ashes
Is the part you shot down
Rise with the broken
We're the ones shot down
Could you be a friend to me
Now you're all but dead to me
Secrets should be kept
Cutting until nothing's left
No path to glory
For the ones shot down
Desiring no return
For the ones shot down
A hostage to fortune
With a heart shot down
Your glory in ashes
Like a heart shot down.

Blackthorn

Blackthorn
The words of a sad song
The blackbird swoops down
Shadows are longer
When theres leaves
On the ground
Something so familiar
About a place unknown
Sparked a longing
That took us far from home
I can't remember
I've lost your face
But the pieces that haunt me
Drag me back to this place
Speak of our glory
Through our graves winds will blow
I know that I lost you
Where the blackthorn grows
She goes
Her ghost goes
The message was unclear
But we done what we could
The pines of slumber
Must draw their blood
They make a fine crown
Fit for a king
Woven by these hands
And from forgotten things
Hope springs eternal
From the breast of all mankind
But hope is a curse too
It'll drive you out of your mind
I can't remember
Caught in the throes
I know that I lost you
Where the blackthorn grows.

Fix Your Heart Or Die

Fix Your Heart Or Die
Pleasures of the flesh are only skin deep
You're defined by the secrets you keep
If one day you lose yourself
What you'll learn, you'll scare yourself
Lust and sin taste so good
Like an animal if you could
When you die its much too late
Your chance is lost
Why did you wait?
In this new world
The lines are blurred
Don't be the lie
Fix your heart or die
You'll never know this
You better fix your heart or die
Who are these shadows that haunt your dreams?
And make you crave a life obscene
What are these lies you tell yourself?
Just walk alone and seek no help
You are flawed, desire rules you
Give yourself to what tempts you
Face the grave with a smile on your face
And leave this earth without a trace
We all run out of time
Shed your skin
And taste the divine
Don't be afraid to live your life
You must try
Fix your heart or die.

Kiss the Moon

Kiss the Moon
When these lights fade
Into the darkness
We will disappear
Side by side
Escape with me
And through the forest
We will run
Just you and I
My love
It comes too soon
When we must part
Kiss the moon
And remember
My black heart
This black heart
The world's asleep
While we are screaming
Through empty streets
Faster than light
A rush of blood
A single heartbeat
From the edge
Tumbling down
Forever down
Its what you do
And where you
Leave your mark
Don't speak too soon
And remember
Le Depart
Kiss the moon
For we must part
Kiss the moon
I surrender
This black heart
Surrender to the dark
Surrender your heart.
