Track Lyrics
Face of Melinda Lyrics
[Verse 1]
By the turnstile beckons a damsel fair
The face of Melinda neath blackened hair
No joy would flicker in her eyes
Brooding sadness came to a rise
[Verse 2]
Words would falter to atone
Failure had passed the stepping stone
She had sworn her vows to another
This is when no-one will bother
[Verse 3]
And conceded pain in crumbling mirth
A harlot of God upon the earth
Found where she sacrificed her ways
That hollow love in her face
[Verse 4]
Still I plotted to have her back
The contentment that would fill the crack
My soul released a fluttering sigh
This day fell, the darkness nigh
[Verse 5]
I took her by the hand to say
All faith forever has been washed away
I returned for you in great dismay
Come with me, far away to stay
[Verse 6]
Endlessly gazing in nocturnal prime
She spoke of her vices and broke the rhyme
But baffled herself with the final line
My promise is made but my heart is thine
Serenity Painted Death Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Returned from a hibernal dream
Voices fell like marble
No longer by my side
Gone all that would linger
[Verse 2]
Ripped from my embrace
Melinda reflected in shafts
Red line round her neck
Met the earth in silence
[Chorus]
White faced haggard grin
In this serenity painted death
With a halo of bitter disease
Black paragon in lingering breath
White faced haggard grin
In this serenity painted death
With a halo of bitter disease
Black paragon in lingering breath
[Verse 3]
Saw her fading
Blank stare into me
Clenched fist
From the beautiful pain
[Verse 4]
Darkness reared its head
Tearing within the reeling haze
Took control, claiming my flesh
Piercing rage, perfect tantrum
Each and every one would die at my hand
Choking in warm ponds of blood
At last, weak and torn, I went down
Drained from strength, flickering breath
[Verse 5]
Came with the moon
The wayward in concious state
Flanked and barred in destiny's end
Underneath with hope in laches
Swathed in filth, any would betoken
Starlit shadows on the wall
Finally there to collect me
From the bowels of sin
[Chorus]
White faced haggard grin
In this serenity painted death
With a halo of bitter disease
Black paragon in lingering breath
White faced haggard grin
In this serenity painted death
With a halo of bitter disease
Black paragon in lingering breath
