Track Lyrics

The Drapery Falls Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Please remedy my confusion
And thrust me back to the day
The silence of your seclusion
Brings night into all you say
[Chorus]
Pull me down again
And guide me into pain
[Verse 2]
I'm counting nocturnal hours
Drowned visions in haunted sleep
Faint flickering of your powers
Leaks out to show what you keep
[Chorus]
Pull me down again
And guide me into...
[Verse 3]
There is failure inside
This test I can't persist
Kept back by the enigma
No criteria is demanded here
Deadly patterns made my wreath
Prosperous in your ways
Pale ghost in the corner
Pouring a caress on your shoulder
[Verse 4]
Puzzled by shrewd innocence runs a thick tide beneath
Ushered into inner graves, nails bleeding from the struggle
It is the end for the weak at heart, always the same
A lullaby for the ones who've lost all reeling inside
My gleaming eye in your necklace reflects stare of primal regrets
You turn your back and you walk away, never again
[Bridge]
Spiraling to the ground below like Autumn leaves left in the wake to fade away
Waking up to your sound again and lapse into the ways of misery

Blackwater Park Lyrics

[Instrumental Intro 00:00-02:20]
Confessor of the tragedies in man
Lurking in the core of us all
The last dying call for the ever lost
Brief encounters, bleeding pain
[Instrumental Interlude 02:42-05:38]
Lepers coiled neath the trees
Dying men in bewildered soliloquies
Perversions bloom around the bend
Seekers, lost in their quest
Ghosts of friends frolic under the waning moon
[Instrumental Break]
It is the year of death
Wielding his instruments
Stealth sovereign reaper
Touching us with ease
[Guitar Solo]
Infecting the roots in an instant
Burning crop of disease
I am just a spectator
An advocate documenting the loss
Fluttering with conceit
This doesn't concern me yet
Still far from the knell
Taunting their bereavement
[Instrumental Break]
Mob round the dead
Point fingers at the details
Probing vomits for more
Caught in unbridled suspense
[Instrumental Break]
We have all lost it now
Catching the flakes of dismay
Born the travesty of man
Regular pulse midst pandemonium
You're plucked to the mass
Parched with thirst for the wicked
Sick liaisons raised this monumental mark
The sun sets forever over Blackwater Park
[Acoustic Outro]
