Chapter 1 - Lost, but not forgotten

Beyond the Veil.

A hand behind the veil receeds
and so I am allowed to dream
ever walking never stopping
across the ocean rife with dawn
yet I feel no pain and fear not darkness
for what I know will conquer all
this is the time, before the fall.

Always.

Steeped always in shadows
whirling and spinning
dancing and singing the darkness away
soon will come dawn, and then I will sleep
and dream my endless dream
till the end of the day.

Key.

My heart has been stolen
the key has been hidden
too long i have looked
for the lock, in the corridors of me
and now I must rest
and let myself go
too long I have looked
my breathing grows slow
and now I will die
in the darkness of the corridors of me.

Literary tie-in to Lady Unknown.

Faces smiling
darkness rising
a fleeting image, nothing more
a fading shadow at the door
an unkown face
a sudden smile
a breath of wind
the lady unknown.

A hand raised in pain
a voice crying out
a plea for help
beyond redbout
so helpless and broken
alone and forsaken
she finds the grave
the lady unkown.

Roses fall thick
their petals like fire
thorns and crimson
give voice to my ire
and all is given
there is nothing more
for the shadow at my door
the lady unknown.

I kneel by her grave
my eyes are closed
my heart is riven
as I speak these words
for once I loved her
and she was lost
to me
ever will I weep
for her
the lady unkown.

Lament.

I tried to live for you
in the end I could not
for I feared to lose you
and fear was my death
and for you, do I draw
my last breath.
I beg you,
don't suffer
don't make it worse
as I leave you, and leave the Earth
try to live on
try to be more
do not linger by my door
for I am no more.

That Which is Broken.

That which is broken cannot be made new
though I have tried so hard for you
but I have failed and fallen so far
I cannot find you
I'm lost in the dark.

But I'll go on searching
though broken I am
I'll never surrender
I won't accept defeat
I'll strive on and persist
and someday we'll meet.

I walk the land broken
my soul is distraught
and yet I will not fall
for you I have fought
and you are all, that I need to live
so come now and embrace me
together we'll fail.

I never knew.

I did not know what lay beyond
the fall of time
the ripples in the pond
I never knew that you loved me
until you were gone
like the ripples in the pond.

I tried to find the way to you
I am afraid I never knew
and so I fell into a dream
and from my throat
escaped a silent scream.

I am swimming in your eyes
hanging in their dark embrace
my travels have brought
me to you
I know now what I never knew
it's not too late
I am here now
let me hold you
and we'll dream.

I'll Never Believe.

I do not believe in pain
but that won't stop this
sad refrain
as I wander on the plain
in search of you.

I do not believe in pain
as give this sad refrain
evil is breaking me
and tearing me apart
as I search for you

I do not believe in pain
as I cry and fall again
the darkness in me grows
and all is sinking low
as I search for you.

At last I come before you here
my soul is gone
I shed no tears
darkness within me rise up
and drives me forth to you.

And now I am forced to believe in pain
I saw you dying in the rain
and I was forced to be your bane
by the darkness within me
my search for you is now complete
you lie bleeding at my feet
and all is fading grey.

The Price of Power.

I paid for my might
I sank into night
I left all behind
my eyes, were struck blind
I even lost you
all I've ever loved.

And yet I am now
so much more than ever
I have climbed unto heaven
I can bring you back to me
with my power
I can make you breathe.

But I must satisfy
my addiction
to life
my hunger eternal
causes me strife.

For to keep what I've gained
I must take away
leaving only darkness
to mark my dark way.

I paid for my might
I sank into night
all that I'd loved
I let die
the price of my power
was love, and in the final hour
I could not refuse
so I let you go
and forgot about you.

I let go, of my memories
cast off, the man I once was
took on, the mantle of greed
and fed my addiction
with you.

And now, I'm all alone
there's nowhere to go
the price of my power
was my soul.

Song of the Well.

Forgive, our sins
make right, our wrongs
take, us back
and hear, our songs
for we, once flew
in heaven
and all was right and good.

But the voice of shadow
touched our ears
made fast ours souls
with greed and fears
brought us down
to feed its fires
and cast us here to die.
