Green Man

Green Man
Sitting there inside the park
Watching everything go dark
Green Man
What is going through your head
Are you still living are you dead
Green Man
What happened to those who believe
In the face that's framed with leaves
Green Man
Where have all the people gone
All the ones who came along
With the Green Man
What went wrong with all the songs
Is there anyone who longs
For the Green Man
Green Man
Green Man
Green Man
Why have all the people left
Spring time's altar now bereft
Of the Green Man

When Beauty Dies

When Beauty Dies

Beautiful girl walking in the dead leaves
Wantonly wandering through the mist
Sliping into the night
Sliping into the silent darkness
Where nobody eles will follow
Stumbling through the silent forest
Falling to the ground
When beauty dies
Everyone cries
With heavy hearts and tear filled eyes
When beauty dies

So tragic when beauty leaves
The whole uncouth world cries and grieves
Rending hair and heavy hearts
When beauty's heartbeat doesn't start

The world is an ugly place
But when a smile crosses your face
I forget the tragedy
And beauty's dying pagentry
All an illusion for the fools
Like the pain and broken rules
The world is an ugly place
But you're so beautiful to me

The Dark Lady Speaks

The Dark Lady Speaks

One who calls me with a glance
Seeking black-clad night romance
One who calls me wondr'ous fair
Praises my eyes and lips and hair
Calls on me to block the light
Calls me belle of boundless night
One who caresses my sable form
One who comes to keep me warm
Through the cold enveloping dark
One who calls my voice a song to which all must hark
I seek your heart and you seek mine
We seek refuge from oppressive sunshine
You long to clasp me to your chest
To lose yourself in my dark breast
You entreat me to start your pulse afresh
You long to stroke my heaving flesh
You follow me into the black
Follow me, no turning back
Leave the sun and earth behind
Part night's curtain and you'll find
All the things of your desire
Come to me, I'll light your fire

Reality

Reality

You want me
You want the bliss I bring
I will hurt you
But you cannot live without me
And you can't live within me
You can't live

You need me
You need the silent pain I bring
The pain that will feed off your flesh
And enrapture your soul
I will set you free
But you must pay the price

I am your sweetest nightmare
Don't resist me
Give in
The pain is not real
The bliss is not real
You are not real

I am real
