Songs of Despair lyrics


1. Furious Twilight

As dark sky brings us drops of water
As your tears flow down with the rain
You stay so close to me now
I see how sad are your deep dark eyes

In this sorry state of mind
I will be forever yours
In this furious twilight
I will hold you so close

And when I see flashes of light
Come down from darkest, darkest skies
I know that soon we gonna die
But I don't care - I see your eyes


2. Dead Serenade

Burned down my house, they turned me off
Tormented me and killed me at last
Buried me deep, deep underground
Wished me to rest in peace

Entombed now, left alone
Where the worms gnaw my bone
It's so cold, it's so dark
Let me out, oh oh let me out

I call for you now
Dig me up, my love
Come hear my dead serenade
I want revenge now
For sinful they are
We'll turn the world into pain

Shattered my dreams, all my dreams in life
Forced me to have the ultimate aim in death
Buried me deep, deep underground
Wished me to rest in peace

Feel me now, hear my call
I'll make them suffer, make them fall
I'll put you on the bloody throne
And we will rule, we will rule the world


3. Angel in the Dark

Darkness is getting tight, can't even see my hand
But I see you there in the night 'cause you do shine
Shining girl all dressed in white say what is your name
Please talk to me you angel in the dark...

So sweet and innocent illuminating smile
But I am so afraid I see it for last time
The misery who leads our way will never stop
And darkness swallows our lives

Oh beauty stranger in the night give me your hand
Oh would you be my sun oh would you be my friend
I want to feel your touch before it's too late
I long for nothing more today


4. Seductress

Seductress, put your curse on me
Seductress, oh made of sin

I will sell my only soul
And I will betray my only love
I will sin the only sin
And forever burn in hell
And I will forget all my life
And I will deny my only god
I will greet your devil's kiss
And forever burn in hell

Seductress, put your curse on me
Seductress, oh made of sin

Touch me now, never stop
Angel body, evil soul
Touch me now, I lose control
Let us go, and go for all

When you have done with me
I would have done with you
This will be my last will
You will burn in hell with me


5. The Last Smile

She laid there on the grass
Her wound was bleeding, her wound was bleeding
The knife was in her hand
And pale was her skin, and pale was her skin

But then I saw, I saw the last smile on her face
It was so sweet, it was so sweet
I realized, realized my life is now complete
It's now complete, just like hers

I just wanted to know
Why she had done it, why she had done it
I thought I understood
The meaning of love, the meaning of life


6. Song of Despair

The treasures that you keep inside will stay forever secret
You won't open your soul for this morbid world
This planet rots within itself and noone seems to care
It leaves you nothing but despair

Doom! Feel your last hope is fading
Cry! Your tears flow neverending
Pray! The end is coming near
Sing! Sing the song of despair

The world is tearing you apart but people walking blind
The cruelty of human heart and selfishness of human mind
Your pleasure is to walk alone but solitude froze you to the bone
And worst of all that you are like them

The end is coming near
It is easy now to forsee our death
The picture's getting clear
It is time to wash our sins for ages


7. Creatures of the Night

(instrumental)


8. Souls Entwined

Oblivion is what I longed for
I found it in you long ago
I never felt so free before...

Anxiety troubled my entity
But one day your eyes brought serenity
The feelings I kept deep inside...

When for the last time I glanced the world
Serene was my sight but yet sorrowful
The only wish was to be with you...

When sun sets and leaves twilight
Our souls fly entwined in nighttime
When it returns to shine it's bright
Our souls fly entwined in morninglight

When leaves fall from trees and sky is grey
Together we greet gloomy autumn day
When nature awakes in early spring
Together we greet the first bird to sing


9. Sleep

Hear the tunes of my soul
Let the flute sing them as I sleep
Let the violin cry them into other worlds
Into other dimensions
Far from my existance
The tunes of my soul
Playing slower and slower
As I gradually leave
For deep eternal sleep
