DAUCUS KAROTA � SHRINE


THE STRANGER

Oh, I can look at stranger
And I can re-arrange them
Reflection cast right back at us
Can we still put our faith in saviors?
No semi-mental journey

Oh, I can be the stranger and I will
Recreate my mind
So I�ll find those that play there
But I can�t trust half of my playthings, no
The stranger

Broken mirror, seven years
Well, that�s some kind of luck
Shall put my trust in strangers?
Their shattered dreams fall into dust
I can�t recall just what I�m after
Can�t recall just what we�re after, no

Oh I can be the stranger and I will sink
Into those eyes
Yes, I will be the stranger
Get back to all that I�ve searched for
The stranger

Broken mirror, seven years
Well, that�s some kind of luck
That�s some kind of luck

I thought you were my friend, but you are
The stranger


ANGEL

You�re a mean little angel
You locked me outside
You�re such a mean little angel
You left me so hollow inside

You took my heart, you robbed me blind
You crushed my hopes, but the dream remains

Now I see you in a distant light
You stand before me
Your velvet wings, shaped so heavently
They hover in my mind

You�re a devil in my soul
The price of my pain
You�re extinguished the fire within me
But my love remains the same

Now I see you, through darkness you shine
Now I�m crawling, crawling right back to your arm�s harm

Now I see you in a distant light
You stand before me
Your broken wings mend so gracefully
They hover in my mind


LOVE LIES�

Within the hands of those who reason
Farthest from my mind
Keys of cold light, eyes perceiving
Visions of distrust in needing

All around me, walls surrounding
Love lies, dust to dust
Upon awakening, my palms still aching
Where once I felt your touch

The hand that feeds will often lend itself to those that bite
And sometimes when you feel the need for nourishment
It strikes

Love lies�dust to dust
Love lies�as it must

Beneath the beating of my heart
A heart of steel, my broken crutch
While memories, they slowly fade
Our love becomes the hate we�ve made
We�ve made our bed, come lie in it
Come lie
Lie


FATHER OF TEMPTATION

Welcome my friend,come meet the father of temptation
A man of many faces, that often lives inside your eyes
Deep within, so deep within your pale, yet radiant
Luster, resides the father of my dreams

Hello my friend, do you hear my desperate
Calling, or does my whispered voice fall mute upon
Your ears?
Lost in the tarnished years
Lost in these tarnished years

Like a ghost of my past, your image, so
Chillingly haunting
And me, I just wait for some sign from above
But that day never comes

Welcome my friend, feel free to walk right in
This battered door, like my heart, is wide open
Welcome my friend, feel free to walk right in
Dismiss the key, you hold it
My dearest father of temptation

Like a ghost of my past, you�re a vision of hope everlasting
And me, I just gaze at the stars for an answer
But truth�s voice never calls, no, truth�s voice never calls
Hello my friend

Welcome my friend
Like a ghost of my past, Like a ghost of my past
