The Absolution Of Sorrow
Alas, my darling queen
we perish together forever
never again to be....
and now I fall forever.....
darkness, hollowness, emptyness
I have sank below the mire, below the dirt
my sorrow is certain, the destitution of my wake.
I cannot bear this loss this absolution
my presence is untimely, I dont belong here
I whisper into the darkness, like a mirror it reflects
once again that familiar feeling of hopelesness
conquering...
I hear the deafining silence of eternity
my heart beats fast, the dizzing nausia beats down apon my chest
...And with these words I say goodbye...
farewell too all, alas my darlings, I fall.
The deepest yearning for an ending, far greater than my life
symphonies depict the sorrow behind my eyes, a requiem
vast with emptiness a painting within the skies
I feel the darkness fade I close my eyes....

Willowsoul
Sweet like honey on your lips, I taste deaths kiss
Awakened from a dream, these premonitions bleed
to sleep eternally, to rest in peace
forever and again, a place of no return
your throne of empathy reads my name
forgotten and erased, mortality foretaste....
Noble land of kings, high above the mountains peak
Can you see forever? ...The lush green shroud of the willows bole
Can you see the grace? ....stretched beyond the sunlit hills
Can you hear forever? the bray of raindrops falling down
shackled mortal shell, how I long to be set free
come with me my sweet, dance beneath my willowsoul
poem:
"Cold are the nights I cannot sleep
thinking........ of my love.....
the nights we spent together..
No music sweeter than your tongue, a flame that held no word of cruelty
A gentle tender pure..... love
My death torments my heart, it cannot be that we're apart
these arrows in their cruel flight drive sleep from every bitter night"
But im there, just beyond the veil.
It's Not enough... It's not enough...
Noble land of kings, high above the mountains peak
Can you see forever? ...The lush green shroud of the willows bole
Can you see the grace? ...Stretched beyond our sunlit hills
now we can hear forever, the bray of raindrops falling down
shackled mortal shell, we embrace forever more
fly with me my sweet, dance inside our willowsoul

Must It Be

Must It Be 1995 Dan Robinson
Rejoice tonight, it has to be.
it's so cold, inside my heart
The dying light bereaved forever.
The answerer is the end
and only you, can ease my suffering
How can I live without, in the twilight skies I scream your name
but alone im left again, I canont live without you.
Memories of the past forever haunt me, how can I stop this pain?
How amusing it must be for you.
how is it that you get so much pleasure from all my suffering?
Now a burning sea shall grow inside of me
drowned Im pulled benieth, how can I believe
deep withing your eyes shines a part of me
you've betrayed my heart, why must this be?
beyond the stars, beyond the flame
before my time, beyond my life
Why?
I never will forget, the pain that you've shown to me
As dying flowers rot, our love withers helplessly
To hold your heart in mine, I gaze into lifeless eyes
The greiving process starts, as our time on this Earth now ends.
I loved you.....

An Empty Gaze
there's nothing left, my eyes have dried
the pain resides yet I have died
if I could speak, the words would hide
behind a veil of tainted pride....
The smell of rain in autmn mourning
taste the salt in tears of yearning
ohh how that day I longed to be with you,
when you song of life was washed away
(I cant live without you, and I wont let you live without me)
be...in peace, my love...always
take me away with you
smell the rain in autmn mourning
taste the salt in tears of yearning
you took your innocence away
in the empty gaze I saw within your eyes
smell the flowers of life dwindle by as I wither away
through the darkness I reach for your hand in repent
feel the cold its so cold im alone all alone
how I long to be set from the burdens of shame
I utter your name with repent, I repent, I repent

The Fool's Lament

The Fool's Lament 1996 Dan Robinson/Cindy Murphy
Join each other's mock, you cannot help but laugh.
Empty crowns adorned thine kings and queens forlorned
Come easy, go crazy, I've got you in my hand
Stop crying, start flying, we'll skate apon the sand
A servant for the world to see.
But you are not the one it's me
I dance the dance, the fool the jesters dance.
How does it feel to be, the one whom all do mock?
forever scorned by shame, I cannot bare the pain.
The pity of mankind rests firmly apon my back
I have no life left to give, or will to find my way
Helplessness rules my name, hopelessness rules my life
How can it be, this life that you live will never be with me?
Hide from their eyes my fool I will shelter you behind my eyes.
Dont you know, or see what I have done to you is better me
Foolish boy, alone in the rain you'll cry in misery
Dragged by the pain like a puppet you dance to the strings sad melody
Weep in the rain, see the fool drown in sorrow, you will never win my game.....
Showers of rain falling down.
Can you hear the pain?
Can you see, how they laugh?
...Better you than me.
Croutched on a coble stone wall, a fool for all to see.
The tears dance down my brow to the tune my sorrows play.
I cannot feel the rain, Ive seen my life decay
Inside I yearn to be, free from you and the pain.
Helplessness rules my name, hoplessness rules my life.

I Cry (A Maddening Hue)
06:08
|

I cry.....
I walk amongst the putrid heavens
my gallery of futile hopes
I stand alone painting the sounds of my anguish
and the dirt be knee deep, tortured souls unite tonite
wretched whore by thine epitaph, enslave our eyes that bind
as melting frost we bleed, a crest of grey horizon burn
I do not weep for youre soul....for it hath been buried

The Forever Dance 1996 Dan Robinson
Ohh,how i remember that night when we danced to the music without notes.
the music within our hearts the music of joy of love of life.
and how we stared unto each other, that timeless gaze two lovers share.
i will never forget the dance we shared. dancing together forever we dance
a thought,a dream,then nothing.
in that brief time we built an eternity
a thought a dream then nothing
blinded by that moonlight glare
the timeless gaze two lovers share
i cant describe the brilliant shine your eyes reflect when drawn to mine
a thought a dream of nothing
remember the moonlight we basked in that night
the beauty,the mountains illuminate light
remember the storm and the thoughts that remain
together we danced like two fools in the rain
I weep for a god that's punishing
unjust god,I've all but died for you
I've lost all the shards of sanity
I'm blessed with, this hollow fantasy

Shroud Of Bereavement Sandown, New Hampshire
Shroud of Bereavement's music is akin to attending a funeral for everyone you have ever loved. The Boston-based group achieves this moribund feeling by incorporating all the right musical elements: cellos, piano, violin, and dual female vocal harmonies layered on top of harsh death vocals, played at the pace of mile-long funeral procession.. ... more
