Here's To Misery




Like the spear of Longinus
The loneliness cuts in my heart
Will I ever find my solace?
Will I ever finf clarity?
I know my pain shall last
And yours will surely pass
And all dreams shall be
Emptiness and misery

A toast to my emptiness
And here's to misery

Carfax Abbey

Is it simply a kiss of carnal dreams?
What once a father to tender sleeplessness


The deviance of youthful whispering
A majesty to darkness,a visage my kingdom?


My centuries laden with dead emotion
Timeless anguish beckons me
Into my sleep,the torments of dreamless kin
Give unto me a time for redemption


And even now beneath the multitude of stars


Am i to believe that i stand before god?
What pitiful illusion am i expected to see?
Shall i exist in my death,to believe in them?
As i destroy all you love ,before your eyes


I bequeath unto thee my forever


For time hath imprisoned me
Endowed with the wisdom of centuries
Yet the sorrow hath befallen me still
The chosen few are but remain with me


United together within the stillness
Of an age yet to come
My children of sadness,i welcome thee
Into my arms forever

They Watch With Close Eyes


Timeless,Ageless,Ethereal beauty

Bestow thy dark enchantment
Blissful death
So begins the autumn dance

I awaken thee

With my kiss

Shall they forever
Be one with me
Dream of me,my children
As I embrace thy sorrow
And take unto myself
Thy kiss

I awaken thee

Would they hold me as I wept?
Would they dry my endless tears?
Would they kiss me as I died?
Would they love as I am?

Megin Runar


I find my flowers on paths astray
Megin runar on paths well hid and torch lit
So rise snakes of the golden secret gleam
Thou phantoms of the midnight

The darkness sways for my eyes like a moth , a moth
Mysteries subtle and secret , to dim to touch

So rise thou spirits of the midnight gleam
In thy most secret cloaks and signs
Touch the night with your invoking
So raven black at heart
To dark for speech
And hidden from the eye
The glow the ritual the wonder
Solitude loneliness , megin runar

The darkness sways for my eyes like a moth, a moth
Mysteries subtle and secret , to dim to touch


Solitude , Loneliness
Megin runar
