The gods have all abandoned me
They will not hear me despite my plea
Zeus his lightning bolt does throw
For it rains and thunders wherever I go
Athena with wisdom blessed me not
To give me skill Apollo forgot
Cupid completely turns a blind eye
Leaving my desolate heart to cry
But it is Venus who shuns me the most
Out of the entire heavenly host
She mocks me with cold eyes and a laugh
So have I been cursed by Olympus�s wrath
They have left me to wander alone
And suffer this cruel fate on my own
(Words I Wish I Could Say)
You are no mere man
You are a god
And I am less than mortal before you
A wraith, a spirit born from darkness
I need your light to survive
I fall to my knees
Prostrate at your feet
Groveling for your divine presence
For without you, I cannot live
Just a touch from you
And I fall like a leaf
Just a sigh in my direction
And I break into a thousand shards
Only you can save me
Only you can pull me from the dark
You are the hope that makes me believe
That there can be
Someone who loves me
She is not here
She has nothing to say
She turned into a bird
And flew away
She became a star
That shines in the sky
She left this sad world
And said good-bye
She is free at last
Free, free from this life
Her spirit is gone forever
Finally breaking from strife
What happened to you, Fair Ophelia?
What made you be this way?
Now you wander like your mind;
A wreath of flowers in your hair,
A song of lament on your lips,
Picking daisies as you walk by,
Strewing withered violets all about.
They had to make your love a game
And now your heart is broken.
Now you walk barefoot in sorrow
Upon the distant riverbank.
So you gave up hope and let yourself fall
To cold waters below
And let them take you like your pain.
Like a crying mermaid,
Pass away with your flowery wreath,
With nymph-like beauty even in death.
I wish it were that easy,
To not remember,
To be gone before you even go.
Sleep well, Fair Ophelia.
Sweets for the Sweet.
I saw your face in the distance
I knew I had seen it before
Somewhere at a different time and place
But I blinked and you were gone
I ran to you � ran as far as I could
Running with all my strength
Gaining towards the light ahead
Trying so hard to reach you
I called out to you in the dark
I called out your name
Seeing you looking back at me
I cried out for you to stay
I could almost feel the light on my face
Just touch it with my fingertips
But you were gone
And I was left standing alone
I will find you again someday
Should I see a glimpse of you
I will know who you are
And catch you before you fade
Only in my dreams
Is there a land I seek
Where the trees are gold
And the grass is green
The sun's rays always shine
Like an endless spring
The flowers forever bloom
In this fair wish of mine
Only while I sleep
Do the stars ever burn
As white fires of night
To which I always return
In a place where I tread
On soft earth beneath my feet
No sorrow, no troubles, no pain
Until I awake in my bed
The earth opened up before me
And cradled me in her arms.
She sheltered me from the world,
Protected me from the wind and cold,
And let me slumber in her warmth.
She nourished me with her fruits
While her mate the sky,
Quenched me with his rain.
Then she granted me my wish
Making me into a flower.
My flesh was rooted in hers,
Blooming in gentle hues.
I became part of her;
From her I lived again,
Renounced my imprisoned form,
And was finally free.
