Chapter 1 - Thread

ring me away.

Take me down
away from here
hold my hand
and ease my fear

Guide me back
and take me to you
end my hate
and bring me home.

Save me.

I cannot save myself
make me breathe
and give me life
lift me up and
breathe into me
I am starting to fade

Some would say
to let me go
I will wait here for you
fall or fly
live or die
all is starting to fade.

Won't tell.

I will not tell you
what I know
as we stand in falling snow
and my heart is growing slow

I cannot tell you
what I know
as we fall into the snow
and fierce winds past our faces blow

Do not ask me to tell you
what I know
together now, beneath the snow
as so cold our bodies grow
do not make me cause you pain.

By a Thread.

My love is hanging
in the sky
chains wrapped round her
arms and legs
blood is flowing from her eyes
and life is scraping evil's dregs

I strive to bring her back to me
but I find I cannot see
and what she once meant to me
will surely break my heart
I fear I'll come apart

To lose her now
will end my life
as I watch her
cease to strive
chains and blood
run 'cross her skin
and my vision now runs thin.

Keep your mouth shut.

I know what you've done
there's blood on your hands
you're clearly at fault
alone in this land

To right this mistake
you must listen to me
together we'll fix it
just wait and you'll see

So smile your false smile
from behind your gold mask
as we undertake this task
I will venture to smile back

Just remember that I know
who you betrayed
so long ago
do not tempt me, my old foe

I own you now
I know your secret
and you'd better hope I keep it

So lift the shovel
dig a hole
dump the corpse
and burn the mold

Leave no traces
'midst the leaves
they'll never know
just you and me.

In Exile.

Lost and broken
lorn and soaking
'neath the bridge
beside the dale

So long ago I lost my home
nowhere left to run
or roam
buried here beneath the loam

I draw a ragged breath
and rise
eyes turned now
away from skies

I stagger as I try to walk
my body broken
as I stalk
the footsteps
of our endless talk
in nascent, speaking dawn.

Trapped in open air.

None before me
none behind me
if you looked
you couldn't find me

I am hiding
right beside you
why with this secret
do I confide you?

Because I trust
and honest face
and secrets unknown
I consider a waste

So turn your eyes
and look at me
you understand now
why try to flee?

Anora.

Child's heart
Demon's soul
darkness rots
the empty hole

Nothing more
and nothing less
she is laughing
at your death

Feeling nothing
but pure child's glee
slit my throat
she'll laugh at me.

What did I say?

I saw you lying on the floor
you slit your wrists
you breathe no more
bloodstains on the kitchen door

I fall down
beside your head
praying now
that you aren't dead

But I know
before I stand
you have left me to face
this dark and bitter land

Was it too much
for you to bear
could I have held you
though I too despair

I feel nothing
as I cradle your bloody face
in my arms, and whirl through space
but my tears fall, and on you they leave no trace

I let you slide
onto the floor
fingers numb
I care no more.

You.

I feel nothing but love
though my life is so bleak
I see nothing but you
from my lonely peak

I can't reach you
though I hear your voice
I can't hold you
and my arms are growing tired

Soon I'll find you
cast of my bonds and run
we'll be together
beneath the setting sun.

Why does anything matter anyway?

Why do you care
you did not seem to mind
when my life was over
when my heart was deaf and blind

So stop prying
leave me here to cry
I am losing what I loved
and my heart begins to die

I don't want you
get away from me
is it not plain
that I want to bleed in peace

I need air now
I am trying to draw a breath
but I can feel it
the lover's kiss of death.

Cracked.

Take me
don't break me
I need you
to feel

I draw my last breath
all covered in death
fade away
in the light of day

Empty inside
for much is forbidden
that which is taken
can never be given

Don't ask me to care
don't make me refuse
I can't turn you down
there's too much to lose.
