GREEN CARNATION LYRICS

1. Leaves of Yesteryear

It's always loneliness

Crusaders of empty space
Born into a lifelong chase
I still hear the soldiers marching on
Marching from the great beyond

Come to me
Come to me

I ask of you some faith in me
A little glimpse of what will be
Heart and soul all combined
As winter falls and stars align

Mind over matter
We are leaves of yesteryear
Where loneliness feeds off the crumbs left behind
I hope you'll remember my name

Come to me
Come to me

Nothing's happening here
To rescue you
I'm always hoping
It's always recording us
It's always loneliness

See right through me, keep on walking
Past your anger, keep on walking
Waves of sorrow, do you listen?
Blessed or haunted, no more time

Love tasted, some wasted
Forgiven, not forgotten
Sun is still rising for the living
Come join me, hide in me

Come join me
Hide in me

Mind over matter
We are leaves of yesteryear
Where loneliness feeds off the crumbs left behind
I hope you'll remember my name
Where loneliness feeds off the crumbs left behind
I hope you'll remember my name

2. Sentinels

They spoke of the loneliest shadow
A thousand year old enemy
When man bowed for souls of the new world
They spoke of the scepter that judged us
Cutting our young to the ground
The mad took the sane to the altar
And with a word a new king was crowned

(Seek and then you shall find)
(Keep the herd under control)

Am I just too blind to see?
The sentinels of chaos
For the truth shall set you free
The sentinels of chaos
And I walk my given path
And I walk on my behalf
And I speak when spoken to
All in the eyes of the first

Follow my lead

Between the doubts and the thoughts you are thinking
Lies a fact with an alternate truth
The old demons are no longer with us
They're online, shaping our youth
(Seek and then you shall find)
(Keep the herd under control)

Am I just too blind to see?
The sentinels of chaos
For the truth shall set you free
The sentinels of chaos
And I walk my given path
And I walk on my behalf
And I speak when spoken to
All in the eyes of the first

Behold, we have a new king
Lead the way, we'll follow you blind
This is the source code of God himself
Into the future, inside your mind
Behold the riches we grant you
No such thing as an honest defeat
This is the message you can't ignore
This is controlling an alternate delete

Am I just too blind to see?
The sentinels of chaos
For the truth shall set you free
The sentinels of chaos
And I walk my given path
And I walk on my behalf
And I speak when spoken to
All in the eyes of the first
And I walk my given path
And I walk on my behalf
And I speak when spoken to
All in the eyes of the first

All in the eyes of the first

3. My Dark Reflections of Life and Death

Pain. Pain is self-inflicted, cause is not
I long for my time, before it's due
I'm so tired of resting in despair
Judge me for who I am
Relief me for what I am
Remember me for what I was
Forgive me for what I became

Where shadows speak of memories
I stand alone in my dark lonely world
Surrounded by this... this cold embrace of temptation
A serpent of lust and lies, where... where will my path go?
Should I be tempted by the light or should I remain in darkness
All alone, all alone.....

Light of day, day of darkness
I will never be trustful again....
I am not for you, I am not for those
Not for light, not for life
Farewell to sunlit world
On the dark side we will meet
We will meet again after life...

I fade away, life drained
What used to be, what could have been
I fade away, life drained
What used to be, what could have been

White bewinged angel of light
Wants me to be one with the light
White bewinged angel of light
Wants me to be one with the light

White bewinged angel of light
Wants me to be one with the light
White bewinged angel of light
Wants me to be one with the light

Pain. Pain is self-inflicted, cause is not
I long for my time, before it's due
I'm so tired of resting in despair

4. Hounds

I don't want to know, I shut it down
That's my freedom, as long as you're around
All that I once held as true
Always brings me back to you
You may think I should have known
No one here but not alone
Darkness feeds upon my soul
From grief I'll rise
From grief I stole

When I have a moment of pure delight
As if I am pulling the wrong to right
I can take this for granted but I'm way too old
In search for the answers, the trail went cold

While I'm alive, I won't let them near us
I stand by your side
Feeding the hounds of existence
The hounds of existence

Nothing is hollow, it's lack of light
We live among time thieves in a scarlet night

While I'm alive, I won't let them near us
I stand by your side
Feeding the hounds of existence
The hounds of existence
While I'm alive, I won't let them near us
I stand by your side
Feeding the hounds of existence
The hounds of existence

While I'm alive, I won't let them near
While I'm alive, feeding the hounds that are hidden
Between the restrained and forbidden
We hold on to all that is pure
When everything's here but a cure
Everything's here but stay hidden
Between the restrained and forbidden
We hold on to all that is pure
When everything's here but a cure
Everything's here but a cure

Swim in cold waters
Sink like a stone
Swim in cold waters
Carry on
At the end of the world
We'll find a shore
We'll find a shore

While I'm alive, I won't let them near us
I stand by your side
Feeding the hounds of existence
The hounds of existence

Hidden
Forbidden
All that is pure
Pure
Hidden
Between the restrained and forbidden
We hold on to all that is pure
When everything's here but a cure
Everything's here but a
Cure

5. Solitude
