Corrupted

She bite into the apple

Savored it's bitter taste

Eve was corrupted by the snake

Adam was corrupted by Eve

God corrupted man

Man corrupted god

~*~

I am corrupt

I have corrupted

Instinct's deadly sin

Where is salvation?

Is it just my imagination

There is no hope

There is no love

~*~

On my last breath

Comes to my side

A creature of light

She takes away the virus

She takes my blackened soul

And makes me whole again

~*~

Eve was corrupted by the snake

Adam was corrupted by Eve

God corrupted man

Man corrupted god

I corrupted myself and was saved

So Goes My Heart...

When I was a boy

I used to play outside

With friends from the neighborhood

We'd sit and race cars around a track

Such fun as a boy

~*~

Now I lay inside

Dieing in a hospital bed

Windows closed, nature shut out

Friends long since gone

Alone, all alone

~*~

I scream and no one answers

No one cares anymore

Why should they waste their time

On a dieing man

~*~

I will her to come

My perfect drug

Only she can cure me

From dieing of love

~*~

Others think it's only cancer

But I know better

I am dieing because she isn't here

I need her so

~*~

The curtain drawn aside

She has come for me

Slowly getting better

Such is her effect on me

So goes my love for her

So goes my heart...

Dance Among The Clouds

Dead heart

Nonexistent pulse

Prelude to nothingness

Comes a flame

Burning rose of salvation

~*~

Lights up the abyss

And I'm no longer falling

I'm flying high

As the burning rose comes by

Again I die

This time dieing of joy

Seeing you flying with me

~*~

We change form

I a blackened crow

And you the white swan

What a sight to the people below

To see together a swan and crow

But I don't care

As long as your there

~*~

Pretty flower, dance with me

Among the northern lights

Upon the surface of the moon

We'd look to the Earth below

And see oceans of land and sea

But I wouldn't look for long

Instead I'd look at you

Concentrating on your eyes

On your perfect smile

Audience With The Dragon Kings

Dragonic scream

Shattering my ears

I in turn must answer

And my baneful howl echoes without

~*~

I have been summoned

To appear before the Dragon Kings

For what I have no idea

And I make haste to go

As the Dragon outside growls impatiently

~*~

I climb upon his back

And we fly off into the astral

I am brought to the main audience chamber

And made to wait outside it's doors

Till called upon to enter

~*~

Suddenly the doors swing open

And I enter into the hall

Upon four thrones sit the four Dragon Kings

To their right stands Mor, my Dragon brother

~*~

They talk of my chosen paths

They talk of my quest for the Bardess

In a pool of water appears your face

At last I have found her, found you

You the Bardess of my visions

Always wearing a hooded cloak

At last you've cast it off

And I can see your face

The Dragon Kings had foreseen it

But they let me find out on my own

And now I'll never let you go

When White Roses Were Painted Red

Archaic emotions

Fabled desire

Forgotten metaphor

Mythic melody

Secret parody

~*~

Talisan sang of this

A long time ago

When the sun fell for the moon

When King Stag chose his doe

~*~

Missing allegory

Forgotten metaphor

Talisan's mythic melody

Here be the secret parody

~*~

Look back to the olden days

To the forgotten years

Where love was sacred

Where love was pure

~*~

Now at present time

People care not for others

I come from the time before

Where love was sacred

Feelings ran deep

And white roses were painted red

~*~

I wish to take you back in time

To the time of legends and valor

To the where unions were forever

Let me paint your white rose red

Back to the Hymns
