AUTUMN'S GRIEF LYRICS

1. The Tide

From the stardust
We both were born
Here on this crust
We saw the morn

In different shapes
And altered forms
We swam, we flew
When all was new
The long gone apes
We bared the storms
I quivered blue
So close to you

You endure this rain
For I was made for
To ease all your pain
I'm yours to the core
I crawled by your side
Up from the sea to the shore
And here with this tide
We will meet once more

How the lifeline
Will cut so fast
Like a weak twine
Not made to last

Your startling eyes
And soothing smile
Through times they shine
With you I'm fine
You cared my cries
In cave or aisle
You gave your sign
That you were mine

You endure this rain
For I was made for
To ease all your pain
I'm yours to the core
I crawled by your side
Up from the sea to the shore
And here with this tide
We will meet once more
The arcane truth
Of where we go
When all is done
Is known by none
Far from our youth
Want you to know
When I am gone
You were the one

You endure this rain
For I was made for
To ease all your pain
I'm yours to the core
I crawled by your side
Up from the sea to the shore
And here with this tide
We will meet once more

2. The Sea of Apathy

Praise me I will lead this clan
Oh do not make a master plan
Hellbent and proud I am
Humanity I damn
I'll never be a lamb
The doors I close with a slam

Hello you little bird
Welcome here to my world
Your lovely voice I've heard
This rope around your neck I've swirled
I am the broken glass
Come with me, you'll bleed and pass away
Don't reason now
Because I'll do it anyhow

(Sea of apathy)
Don't say a word
My little bird
What is your wish
It won't be heard
(Drown with me)
Placed on the plate of the beast
The tasty flesh of the maiden bittersweet

Your feathers fair I will ban
Yes I am a possessive man
I do not care to know
Won't take the blame if so
Your eyes have lost their glow
Bygone, now let it go
Don't try to cut that rope
You see, You have no hope
For you there is no choice
Beauty mine is your voice
With whom the bird now laughs
Don't waste the smile or glance
No one will understand
You do not stand a chance

(Sea of apathy)
Don't say a word
My little bird
What is your wish
It won't be heard
(Drown with me)
Your skin is silk Snow White
My lust is all I care about tonight
(Sea of apathy)
Those broken wings
They do not fly
Your pretty legs
I will now tie
(Drown with me)
Placed on the plate of the beast
The tasty flesh of the maiden bittersweet

Hear when I sing to you this line
The notes and words inside my spine
My voice is released from under your dome
In melodies I will build my home
Someone will come to ease my pain
Stand head up high by my side in the rain
Inside my heart I'm always sad
Yet I am not the one who's mad

(Sea of apathy)
Don't say a word
My little bird
What is your wish
It won't be heard
(Drown with me)
Your skin is silk Snow White
My lust is all I care about tonight
(Sea of apathy)
Those broken wings
They do not fly
Your pretty legs
I will now tie
(Drown with me)
Placed on the plate of the beast
The tasty flesh of the maiden bittersweet

(Those wings are broken, do not fly)
(Those wings are broken, do not fly)
(The fine legs that I will come and tie)
(The fine legs that I will come and tie)
(Placed on the plate now of the beast)
(Placed on the plate now of the beast)
(The flesh of the maiden bittersweet)
(The flesh of the maiden bittersweet)

3. Under the Belt of Orion

You reached this place ahead of me
I've been here before
The hardened heart, wish you could see
Do not close this door
No soul came to stay
Once we'll fade away

Now when you roam
Under the Belt of Orion
Don't be afraid
One heart is open for you to take

You hide so well your ache
Feel old and forlorn
The nights when you lie awake
All you do is mourn
One life desolate
How long will you wait

Now when you roam
Under the Belt of Orion
Don't be afraid
One heart is open for you to take
Now when you roam
Under the Belt of Orion
Don't be afraid
One heart is open for you to take

The years may pass, the pain remains
Dark eyes tell the tale
The frightened blood runs in your veins
My hand, unknown the trail

Now when you roam
Under the Belt of Orion
Don't be afraid
One heart is open for you to take
Now when you roam
Under the Belt of Orion
Don't be afraid
One heart is open for you to take

4. Hanging in Midair

Shine bright
My northern star
Your light
Loved from afar

The ruthless wind
The land hard and bare
I will abide
You will find me there

Oath signed
We count to five
Thoughts kind
Let me revive

Do fight
My fervent heart
Each night
We lie apart

The ruthless wind
The land hard and bare
I will abide
You will find me there
Don't fear the sea
Or fall into despair
Though you keep me
Hanging in midair

I adore every line
Carved by the time
Every scar on your skin
Every lock of your long brown hair
Unruly yet so fair

So scared
The silence deep
Fear shared
We'll wait asleep

The ruthless wind
The land hard and bare
I will abide
You will find me there
Don't fear the sea
Or fall into despair
Though you keep me
Hanging in midair

5. The Clearing

Come with me
I'll show the way
You will see
My darkest day

I'll take you to the place
Where I began this path of fight
The fine mist on the fields
There you can see the stars at night

Eyes I shun
I do not still
Trust but one
I've paid the bill

I had to bear the laughs
Bruised I still hid the truth behind
The one I loved so deep
Used too much fluid to blur ones mind
(Come with me)

Keep your eyes on mine, becalm my pace
In your embrace
Your smile's like a burst of life to a dead old tree
Rootless I roam free

I'll fall through
This voice of mine
It won't do
I've heard the line

I made myself believe
That I could never be the one
Forsook my dreams for years
Flat life I lived and I was done

Slowed me down
I hauled the load
Chain-made gown
All things they owed

Some threw me as they will
Way of the stone in ducks and drakes
Some said I was insane
They blamed me for their own mistakes

Keep your eyes on mine, becalm my pace
In your embrace
Your smile's like a burst of life to a dead old tree
Rootless I roam free
Bear in mind what runs, the bells will peal
Through palm the sand
I know that I will heal the day I feel
Your heartbeat under my hand

It's not your fault yet to fix you plan
The great mistakes of another man
These ancient wounds that you can see
Some will be cured, some stay with me
Please be my mirror in this full madness
The time of absence and constant sadness
I fill with notes the dark void inside
You do the same, all else waits aside

Keep your eyes on mine, becalm my pace
In your embrace
Your smile's like a burst of life to a dead old tree
Rootless I roam free
Bear in mind what runs, the bells will peal
Through palm the sand
I know that I will heal the day I feel
Your heartbeat under my hand

6. The Dragonfly

This time I will be
The lowest of the low
I enter where no man dares to go
Fine perfume and lace
Dressed in all too tight
I'll open the door of his chamber tonight

They will come to learn my name
The Shadow Heart or Darkest Dame
The dreaded lady with the pain
That no one will tame
I'll fill the oath that I once said
I will betray him in his bed
He slayed the one who held my heart
So he will join the dead

His eyes and his hands
On my alluring skin
For this you would kill all of his kin
Forgive me, my love
This all I will do
You must understand I will do it for you
They will come to learn my name
The Shadow Heart or Darkest Dame
The dreaded lady with the pain
That no one will tame
I'll fill the oath that I once said
I will betray him in his bed
He slayed the one who held my heart
So he will join the dead

I'll let him stare into my eyes
Unlace my dress and tell him lies
His flesh is weak, easy to cheat
He's blinded by my foul deceit
The blade of yours, the Dragonfly
Dagger hidden against my thigh
My soft red lips will touch his ear
Your name's the last word he will hear

They will come to learn my name
The Shadow Heart or Darkest Dame
The dreaded lady with the pain
That no one will tame
I'll fill the oath that I once said
I will betray him in his bed
He slayed the one who held my heart
So he will join the dead
They will come to learn my name
The Shadow Heart or Darkest Dame
He slayed the one who held my heart
So he will join the dead

7. In the Presence of the Sun

[Instrumental]

8. There Was a Light

I see the skyline
Of this town
Here from this hill
Where I look down
I am a fool
I'm a face in a crowd
The song in my head
Plays too loud

My halo has faded a long time ago
I'm bruised and I'm battered, I'm taking it slow

Do come and smite
The darkness I dwell on
There was a light
Now it's gone
Who is the holder
Of your heart
A star in this play
What's my part
I do not know
The symbols on your skin
Apart from the thing
Through thick and thin

What if I'm just insane, the thought in the night
Have nothing to offer, I'm dull and I'm trite

Do come and smite
The darkness I dwell on
There was a light
Now it's gone

The pieces you've given they can't be compiled
The cabals in my mind now run way too wild
The words have two meanings and silence will speak
Can you hold the reins now for I am too weak

Do come and smite
The darkness I dwell on
There was a light
Now it's gone

9. They Talk to Me

I do recall
These stories that appall
They used to give chills down my spine
Things that run in family line
It is a gift
In blood it seems to shift
The notes and visits from beyond
We will always share the bond

The number seven on a locker
And a feather black on the floor
I will always find a mocker
It's a fearful mind that can't take more

They give the signs
You read between the lines
The letters on a license plate
Numbers that will set a date
I put the pedal to the metal
Like a dauntless on a racetrack
But I will slow down and settle
With a lifeless knee pressed on my back

The sounds from the unknown
Faces all bleak
Voiceless they speak
I bend to the dark tone
Those we can't see
Talking to me

I have to warn
The house where I was born
You hear a deep sigh from the walls
Cut off the line on phone calls
It takes a while
To greet them with a smile
The cat that sleeps beside your feet
You can't pet but it's still sweet

I know you're daring and you're swearing
No way in Hell you feel the dread
'Til you wake up to the staring
There's someone standing by the bed

The sounds from the unknown
Faces all bleak
Voiceless they speak
I bend to the dark tone
Those we can't see
Talking to me

The sounds from the unknown
Faces all bleak
Voiceless they speak
I bend to the dark tone
And I don't care if you believe or agree
I know, the dead, they talk to me

10. Dead by the Dawn

Evade my eyes
With silence dark
As I have come
To wear the mark

The stains I have
Can not be washed away
Bound in the shame
Destined to stay
The crossfires burn
Who will deceive, who will be true
There's no return
No hope in sight, I will fight it for you
The doom will not wait
Soon I will fall, I will be gone
Call it my fate
All for my love, I am dead by the dawn

We stand in line
On a muddy field
I hide behind
My iron shield

All I can see
The scattered stars up on your skin
Sealed in my heart
So deep within

The crossfires burn
Who will deceive, who will be true
There's no return
No hope in sight I will fight it for you
The doom will not wait
Soon I will fall, I will be gone
Call it my fate
All for my love, I am dead by the dawn

(Dead by the dawn)
(Call it my fate)
(I am)
(Dead by the dawn)
(Call it my fate)
(I am)
(Dead by the dawn)
(Call it my fate)
(I am)
(Dead by the dawn)
(Call it my fate)
(I am)

The crossfires burn
Soon I will fall, I will be gone
There's no return
All for my love, I am dead by the dawn

(Dead by the dawn)
(Call it my fate)
(I am)
(Dead by the dawn)
(Call it my fate)
(I am)
(Dead by the dawn)
(Call it my fate)
(I am)
(Dead by the dawn)
(Call it my fate)
(I am)
