the battle he sets down...sets down reaching for a last breath she comes in...comes in blanketing his death he gives way...gives way rays receding for her she spreads herself...spreads herself trying to cover he�s purple and reds...purple and reds just fading light she opens her wings...opens her wings and sings of night he dreams of the dawn...dreams of the dawn when he�ll ride the sky she covers his eyes...covers his eyes as moments pass by he smiles underneath...smiles underneath he�s about to begin her moon overhead...moon overhead reflecting his grin he reaches up...reaches up and burns her stars she becomes thin...becomes thin and torn apart he begins to shine...begins to shine bright fury above and she turns away...turns away another battle lost to her love
rainfall I watch rain falls you walk away with it all I listen rain taps the window the street light your hair glows you turn I care then you�re gone I don�t know where disbelief sets in and the rain keeps falling you eyes were the light that lit lonely nights and now I�m all alone and I watch the phone I wait for your call and outside rain falls where did you go? where have you gone? why do you stay away so long? with teary eyes I watched the night swallow you because of my lies I didn�t have the right to follow you and you... you left and I... I wept and from my eyes tears fall and outside rain falls
orpheus� betrayal don�t look back love is following you don�t look back fear is surrounding you just have faith believe love is following you just turn your back from the fear surrounding you... another step, another step look--light up ahead! yet darkness bleeds its black blood as you tread with brimstone beads upon your brow listening to every footfall to every echo and sound you stop, no sound is this a trick? is she there? your heart says trust but your senses scream beware! don�t look back she is following you don�t look back let love steal what fate has not yet sealed... the fear surrounding you just wait just walk straight soon the fates with fingers weaving forever deceiving will make lies of Hades� smile although he tries cunning and guile to bring her back to shadows and flame just whisper her name Eurydice...Eurydice... and don�t look back... but fear has a way of returning to the fray and, perhaps, it may have been the fates that day and the sweat poored off him, anxiety swooned and, over his head, love and doubt loomed the gates of Taenarus were not far away he could smell the air see the light of day but not once did he hear the sound of her feet ever touching the ground so, he cursed Hades who was laughing by now and gave into the fear and turned around but, there she was! behind him all the while every footfall masked by his through all the miles she screamed his name and he reached out for her but she faded and was gone back to the underworld he fell to his knees there cursed Hades again he had broken the deal he had looked back then he lost her again he had betrayed his love and walked, alone, to the world above and now he sits and strums his song on his lyre as the wind carries it along
good-bye good-bye baby girl so soon you left this world never got to see your smile never got to hear you cry good-bye baby girl I hope where you are is wonderful I never got to discover the color your eyes would be I never got to uncover your personality and now I feel like I�m gonna cry but I�m tryin not to but behind my eyes lies and ocean of blue good-bye baby girl too soon you left this world I wish I could of held you just one time kissed your cheek, sung you a lullaby and now I don�t know what to do with these tears in my eyes wipe them clean or let them dry bury my head in my arms lick my wounds and hide my scars good-bye baby girl we�ll miss you forever I never got you to squeeze my finger or see you walk, say your fist word sometimes I think I could use you around for all those times that I fall down I wish you were here to take my hand life me up, help me stand I don�t even have a picture to remember you by just words... so long... take care... good bye
high my head�s in the clouds... oh I can�t touch the ground... no there is no sound loud enough to hear way up here... all around me I stare... oh no burden or care... no look up in the air way up there and you�ll see me... nothing underneath... oh no earth beneath... no blowing in the breeze with the leaves and trees oh, tell me why can�t you see me? everyone�s so small...oh can�t hardly see them at all... no cause up here I�m so high higher than birds or words can describe...
hindsight I never thought this day would come I�ve got no where else to run seems I�ve run outa track and now the train�s at my back I try to move and let it pass but it�s coming up way too fast all I hear is the squeal of brakes and smell the steam as my life it takes how�d I get myself into this? how�d I get myself into this? now I think of all I�ll miss how�d I get myself into this? I never thought this day would come now I�m starin� down the barrel of a gun itchy anxious trigger finger poised determined to deliver me to the bowels of hell�s flame distinguish my soul, end the game I squeeze and gun powder fills my nose sparks fly as the bullet blows how�d I get myself into this? how�d I get myself into this? now I think of all I�ll miss how�d I get myself into this? I never thought this day would come I feel so old but I�m still so young so much ahead yet so much left behind so much I�d change if I could rewind it�s like I�ve so much left undone and it�s like my thread�s being unspun insane mundaity, living day to day it seems I cry myself awake and seek my dreams how�d I get myself into this? how�d I get myself into this? now I think of all I�ll miss how�d I get myself into this?
homecoming stand behind me watch what my damage can resolve shield your eyes and see this damn age be absolved cover you ears grateful screams so loud almost deafening watch your step here fire dust cloud almost blinding cover you face the air is death and smoke laced and watch this place die of breath end a race
life as an atheist trudge and wade through the parade of displayed decay and array of charade of people laid down to pray and find my way away from the made prefabricated melee of words that say believe in a yesterday shrouded in loving dismay before I was born it was here for me to adore but now I scorn of its truth--I am torn of its sincere dogma do I abhor but I wish it well but, can I dwell? on a fading bell whose toll I rebel what do I believe? I can�t tell maybe my place IS hell whatever... oh well...
