Drowning Dreams

Lyrics

 

Ophelia   When Flowers Fall      Death's too Late   Kiss of death   Turn Away   

 

Ophelia

Blossoms floating on the face of the lake Marks the watery grave Of the fair Ophelia...

Currents moving motes that fly between the light Dancing to the sound of angels Singing aloud and rushing on and on...

Soundless flowers falling to the rippling lake Covering the evidence Of the fair Ophelia...

Humming ringing whirlpools moving roots of white Weighing down limbs in velvet Sinking down and singing on and on...

Ripples washing on the sand of the shore Echoing the silent sigh Of the fair Ophelia...

Currents moving motes that fly between the light Dancing to the sound of angels Singing aloud and rushing on Humming ringing whirlpools moving roots of white Weighing down limbs in velvet Sinking down and singing on and on...



 





 

When Flowers Fall

The beat that pounds inside the head A rising pulse with love to blame The scar that marks the dread exchange A blood deep kiss with love to blame...

And when flowers fall around you all They blind your eyes until you find that Love and pain are both the same Like poison sweet and death's last beat...

A tongue of fire shot down the throat A fatal kiss with death to blame A sidelong look cuts through the heart A knife sharp glance with death to blame...

And when flowers fall...

The liquid falls and one falls dead A small sweet death with love to blame The blade is sharp between the bones A cold hard death with love to blame...

And when flowers fall around you all They blind your eyes until you find that Love and pain are both the same Like poison sweet and death's last beat...

 


 

Spectre

Leave him alone leave him alone you won't take him from me With your withered flower stalk fingers and your moon struck eyes that do not see... You won't take him from me... Rag clad bitch with baggy sad eyes Red forked tongue in a mouth a mile wide Whirlwind hair marked by time... I won't let you take what's mine You hover behind him on the winding night road You wrap around him when I leave him alone You're always there for no-one to see but I won't let you take him from me... Crawl back to the hell where you came from Slither on back before I make your blood run You have no power over me... Now your power ceases to be You have you have no you have no you have no power over me...


 





Death's too Late...

Cover me with lilies and lay down my head Sink into the fragrant depths of this small bed forevermore...

Realize the expanse of time and know it by name Know the future and the past are all the same forevermore...

Say what you say Again and again Yesterday and tomorrow This will never change I can hear the bells toll and I know Death's too late for me Death is far too late for me...

Look away to yesterday and see the coming night Feel its fingers reach around and silence you forevermore...

Say what you say...etc.

Feel my heart crimson beat against your own heart Sink into the fragrant depths of this small bed forevermore...

Close my eyes a final time while darkness sets in Hold me close in memory while I return what was before...

Say what you say Again and again Yesterday and tomorrow This will never change I can hear the bells toll and I know Death's too late for me Death is far too late for me...

 


 

 

Kiss of death



--LIPSTICK ON MY CIGARETTE MAKES A BLOOD RED KISS IN THE SNOW

COLD AS MY KISS IS FOR YOU

FLESH THAT'S COLD TO THE TOUCH STINGS FROM THE FIERCE WINDS THAT BLOW,

BUT ALWAYS THE PATH LEADS TO YOU...

WANDERING THROUGH THE SNOW OUTSIDE

WONDERING IF YOU'RE STILL ALIVE

IN MY HEART IN MY HEART YOUR LOVE IS THE KISS OF DEATH...

--ICE IN MY FALLING TEARS CLOUDS YOUR IMAGE IN MY EYES

COLD AS MY GLANCE IS FOR YOU

FLAME THAT BURNS MY FROZEN HEART CLOTHED IN BLACK AND LEATHER LOVE ,

CHAINS MY HEART ONCE AGAIN TO YOU...

WANDERING THROUGH THE SNOW OUTSIDE WONDERING IF YOUR STILL ALIVE IN MY HEART IN MY HEART YOUR LOVE IS THE KISS OF DEATH...

--LIPSTICK ON MY CIGARETTE MAKES A BLOOD RED KISS IN THE SNOW

COLD AS MY KISS IS FOR YOU

FLAME THAT BURNS MY FROZEN HEART, CLOTHED IN BLACK AND LEATHER LOVE,

CHAINS MY HEART ONCE AGAIN TO YOU...

WANDERING THROUGH THE SNOW OUTSIDE WONDERING IF YOU'RE STILL ALIVE IN MY HEART IN MY HEART YOUR LOVE IS THE KISS OF DEATH....


 


 

Turn Away



You knew it would happen, there was nothing to do
It's happened before and now it's happened to you
You were standing there waiting, you invited it in
You knew it should be someone but it had to be him...

Turn turn turn your back Turn turn turn your head
Turn turn turn away from the pain From the sad sad scene...

Everything was lovely or it seemed it was so
The flowers and the kisses so deadly and slow
The whirlwind of wine and music and lights
They slipped away your senses in a bright field of white...

Turn turn turn your back Turn turn turn your head
Turn turn turn away from the pain From the sad sad scene...

He killed you with your own heart He killed you with your own heart...

Now everything's over and your life is your own
You don't know what happened, oh but you should have known
Your heart feels so empty you feel it cave in
You gave away your soul when you gave it to him...

Turn turn turn your back Turn turn turn your head
Turn turn turn away from the pain From the sad sad scene...
