My Lover
Drops of blood upon the snow In the woods we meet Your spirit has enraptured me Through our love, it's Death I cheat I've found you through so many years My kind is not to love, it's said Cold killers in the world of men No true love among the dead And still I searched, I searched for you My dark blood calls to you, my dear I hunger for your love, your soul I shall not shed a single tear This forest has become our home For years we've met beneath this tree In darkness met to share our love Your passion now burns within me And after so much precious time Your hair's begun to gray You've lost the spark of life I love I can not see you waste away I'd keep your love with me forever Place in me your fate But I can't give to you my curse And turn your gentle love to hate Nor can I bear to see you age So one last kiss, I'll let you go I walk away, alone again, I leave you lying in the snow Shadow Walker Shadow walker The knife edge gliding Trace silver snail tracks Across brittle ice crackling Pierce the shadow body Slither to shade twilight Answer silent heartbeat echos Seek the sand-swept desert night Sand fills the choking throat Blood spasms shake the breath As the truth of Darkness sinks deeper Face the tired leer of Death Shadow walker Bithing blackened tears of Pain Tied to empty pleasant smiles By tangled, tarnished chain Frozen Quiet darkness drifts Over me with the Winter wind The distant sun bid her fond farewells Leaving me to another night Shadows of my smoky breath Twirl across the frost beneath me Like dancers in a play Leaping from the stage The rail - my support - my only support Cuts into my stolid flesh And so I huddle beneath it Trembling in the cold The pale moon's light dims Obscured by a thick blanket of clouds That hide even th distant mountains Shutting out the world The bitter wind Bends the crystal trees Numbing cold tickles my throat I don't want to move Drowsy, gentle flakes of snow drift down Angels come to save me I move on with them Carried by the breeze The Silence of Ten-Thousand Miles A pale hand reaches out to me Through the silence of ten-thousand miles Velvet fingers slide across my skin mutely carressing my fevered face Cool breaths of wind brush my burning flesh Silently carrying the mountain rains Bringing yearning life Across the silence of ten-thousand miles The blistering, numbing sun Draining life from the slowly dying land While I lie in the quiet shade Of the Silence of ten-thousand miles.
