A DREAM OF POE LYRICS

1. Laudanum

[Music: Miguel Santos, lyrics: Paulo Pacheco]

Simple enough
I'm exhausted
Terrible noise
And vibration
Vision is black
Tormented days
Trembling hands
Of shallow dirt
Seems so long. The devils are strong
The burden is bigger everyday
Oh roses and poison...
Drunk in desire now
And long lost for you
In the meadows of nightmares
Oh roses and poison
Fire deep the throat
To sever the skin
I'm drowning myself
Into another drop of despair
Cripples my heart, tears it apart
I'm not giving up
Of dancing in the meadows of paradise
My words come filled with doom in this candle light
Now the cup is out of my sight
Gone into the far and darkened gloom
I dream for evermore feeling the loneliness of Lenore
Teach me dear raven
Where the sun doesn't burn
So I can finally dream of a poison
That will return
Oh help me gentle wine to last one more night
This heart is not mine
Guide me back to light
Simple enough
I'm exhausted
Terrible noise
And vibration
Vision is black
Tormented days
Trembling hands
Of shallow dirt
Seems so long the devils are strong
The burden is bigger every day
Oh roses and poison
Drunk in desire now
And long lost for you
In the meadows of a nightmare
Oh roses and poison
Teach me dear raven
Where the sun doesn't burn
So I can finally dream of a poison
That will return
Oh help me gentle wine to last one more night
This heart is not mine
Guide me back to light
Keep this bottle laid before me
Chanting ambry melodies
Of times that will never ever come
Another drop of green luxury
I'm drowning myself in laudanum and mercury
How can I regret the life I've sold
This winter day is so cold
I may dream for evermore
For a glance of the lost Lenore

2. The Loss of the Lost

[Music by Miguel Santos, lyric: Paulo Pacheco]

Systems down
I'm opening...to you.
But sorrow's in
Everything I knew.
"Take the line
Sever the wine
Under a twisted fever mind
To see the loss of mankind"
"There's a ghost
It's my gentle host
With a twisted fever mind
It's the loss of mankind"
Shine trough the glass
Oh mirrors of deception
In storms no one can see
I take a taste of inner sanity
The loss of the lost
Forgotten shadows
I travel through misery
To find only me
We slept all our lives
To awake amongst our past
But there's silence in between
Burn me for believing
What's hope in a world so dead?
Give me your hand
And come taste the sadness
Of ghosts
Of shadows
Of prisons without end
Of death
And lies
Of bestiality without end
Come if you can my darkest friend
As above so below
Here is my heart for you to throw
And I am here to rot with this world
Together...together...together now
Systems down
I'm opening...to you.
But sorrow's in
Everything I knew.
I made a mistake
I'm about to brake
The weirder the better
With whispers of ether

[Fernando Pessoa:]
I am the escaped one,
After I was born
They locked me up inside me
But I left.
My soul seeks me,
Through hills and valley,
I hope my soul
Never finds me.

3. Gentle Whisper

[originally by Morbid Death]

Fields of flowers
Crops of sorrow
Spreading fresh air
To the ones of tomorrow
Goodbye I may never grab you
Little one, free your mind
Let the wind blow through
Your weak soul
You can continue crawling
Look behind that window
Whisper gently, whisper...
Little one, lose your hope
Open up
I won't grab you
Little one, lose your hope
Open up
I won't grab you
Just keep on stretching your hand
I can hear
I can see you fading away
I can almost hold you for a moment
I may crawl
I may fall
I may tremble just for you
I may cry
I may lie
Stretch out your hand for me
That gentle and innocent look
Expressing the sadness
Involving that young soul
Into the deepest madness
Little one, free your mind
Let the wind blow through
Your weak soul
You can continue crawling
Look behind that window
Whisper gently, whisper...
Take me back to the sun
Guide me through my skin
Hold me like no one
Take me from within
Little one, free your mind
Let the wind blow through
Your weak soul
You can continue crawling
Look behind that window
Whisper gently, whisper...

4. For My Fallen Angel

[originally by My Dying Bride]

As I draw up my breath,
And silver fills my eyes.
I kiss her still,
For she will never rise.
Never rise for me
On my weak body,
Lays her dying hand.
Through those meadows of
Heaven,
Where we ran.
On my weak body, where we ran
Like a thief in the night,
The wind blows so light.
It wars with my tears,
That won't dry for many years.
They won't dry for you
Get away, don't get away
This shallow soul, this broken path is mine
My way, my time, my death, and angels cry
Strike me now with the poison of your slumber
This shallow soul, this broken path is mine
Dear beauty don't wake up, sleep now
Let's lay together in just one grave
Why surrender?
"Loves golden arrow
At her should have fled,
And not death's ebony dart
To strike her dead."
Love golden arrow
As I drew up my breath
I kiss her still
To strike her death
On my weak body lays her dying hands
Through those meadows of
Heaven,
Where we ran.

5. Whispers of Osiris

Dance in the dark for me
Glance gently the river to be free
Seven years dying is not a lot
When you are a whisper on an open cut
Two and three and all your simple sympathy
A box of fleshy memories
Ancient stones of old mysteries
I see the door but there are no keys
No voice in the muddy waters
To lift me up of these watery tragedies
And it grows and flows
Down a stream of consciousness
The silent whisper of a friend
Who dies over and over again
This is not a goodbye
Sever the parts as chaos
Just destiny
This is not a goodbye
The magic never quite seems the same
Just destiny
This is not a goodbye
Hold it up high enough
Just destiny
This is not a goodbye
And call it by its name
This is not a goodbye
Seven angels crying is not a lot
When you are a whisper of an open cut
I miss the ghost as it came by
Every night waving goodbye
Join the pain
My dearest gloom of destiny
Join all this sweet insanity
And it grows and flows
Down a stream of consciousness
The silent whisper of a friend
Who dies over and over again
