Lost Before Dawn

Lost Before Dawn

The houses are burning
Inside the city walls
Pillaging our riches
Rape is rife once more

But no need to worry
The city will not stand
We'll be lost before dawn

The queen taken hostage
Stripped of her powers
New slaves are taken
As she hangs to die

But no need to worry
The queen will not live
We'll be lost before dawn

The families are broken
To cry alone at night
No love to nurture us
Just to numb our hearts

But no need to worry
The love will not last
We'll be lost before dawn

Let Me Use You

Let Me Use You

I stood at your corner
Where you looked back at me
You think I didn't notice
But now I know your feelings

So let me truss you up
Then I'll dress you down
Let me use you
Like you want me to

They all say you hate me
But we always end up alone
Then those cutting words
Break you into a blush

So let me truss you up
Then I'll dress you down
Let me use you
Like you want me to

I used to see you everywhere
Now you're always busy
You don't trust yourself
When you're around me

So let me truss you up
Then I'll dress you down
Let me use you
Like you want me to

The Rain Just Keeps Falling

The Rain Just Keeps Falling

Fractions of a puddle
Concealed in rippling waves
A perfect reflection
For my broken thoughts

You can't see my crying
The rain just keeps falling
Though I'm starting to die
It all makes sense

The trees are weeping
Laden down by tears
Sympathise with my sorrow
And scream with my mind

You can't see my crying
The rain just keeps falling
Though I'm starting to die
It all makes sense

The mud soaks me up
Returns me to the earth
For I don't belong here
I'm rejected once again

You can't see my crying
The rain just keeps falling
And though I'm dying
It all makes sense

Liquid Gold Raindrops

Liquid Gold Raindrops

I found myself alone
Crying out my happiness
In liquid gold raindrops

Though there's so much
I can't seem to find it
And these precious tears
Won't befriend me

I found myself alone
Crying out my happiness
In liquid gold raindrops

These tears fall for ever
To disappear in sorrow
Not a golden glimmer
To betray my guilt

I found myself alone
Crying out my happiness
In liquid gold raindrops

Never tell my secret
Keep it trapped inside
Covered in cold metal
From my heart of ice

I found myself alone
Crying out my happiness
In liquid gold raindrops

Satan's Feast

Satan's Feast

The night shift lay at the gate
Bribed by immortal dark
They never used their payment
Limbs thrown aside as carrion

Privilaged guests of the earth
Slaughtered by one blunder
Dance with listless panic
Waltzes for His entertainment

Play this endless game of tag
Participation will be our deaths
Must play pass-the-parcel
Where the presents are bones

We all prepared this banquet
With an effigy of our fears
Now His final conquest
Ends with Satan's feast

Untitled

For the first time
I can love my past
The short skirt
And your failing heart

You didn't love me
And still can't now
After all my longing
The sun still shines

For the first time
I can love my past
The short skirt
And your failing heart

I was covered by a blanket
Pinning me down
But I was just sleeping
Ready to wake again

For the first time
I can love my past
The short skirt
And your failing heart

You switched off the light
Till I was addicted to dark
Now I've cleaned the windows
So everything's new

For the first time
I can love my past
The short skirt
And your failing heart

One Regret

One Regret

A thousand years of sorrow
With each moment of pain
But there's only one regret
In this eternal punishment

How can I be whole again
Unless you break my heart
Leave me to these agonies
Of our unhealing memories

This life will be my grave
And this love is a death
I can't bear the solitude
Yet long for lonely thought

With me still, one regret
One that I can't resolve
Break my heart open again
Leave me to die once more
