October Sky (Drawing on Opeth)


In the darkness, Her Shadows caress my soul…
In desperation nested inside my pain.
The October sky with the naked stars…
Screaming for spirits to light my way.
I am fading away in the passing moment,
In the ashes of fire I cannot prevent
The glory behind the martyr black
Wreathes around my naked neck.
I see through her silhouette towards the sky
The madness of dusk, it just drives me blind.
Creeping halos of flashing lamps
And biting frost, begin to grind
The dreams that we shared.

Walk with me for the one last time

The darkness, it’s growing again.
It’s cold in here.
My shadow, it dampens,
My skin, bit by the sharp rime.
The forest closes around me, in herds of trees,
Of frightened faces, staring at the moor.
The dawn and the still water, the meadows await
The sound, the touch of your footsteps

My eyes, to your mute portrait, attach.

The warmth of your eyes gives me hope of the dawn
The gush of your breath holds me tight.
Hold my hand, towards the horizon
Walk with me for that one last time
Where raining in hopes, moonlight they harvest.
Where we set ablaze the passion,
And vanish in the snuff of the candle light.

Rid of me of my demons tonight
Clasp me in love that is undying
Kiss me, and let me die.
