Embers (Burning Mix)
03:30
|
|||
|
I have memories of places
And people I have known
And for now, I remember
As my life has grown
These experiences
Were for better and for worse
Burning like a thousand embers
*Through the cycle of remembrance
All these memories in me
One by one will fade away
And forgotten they shall be
I hold on to recollections
Of partners, loves, and friends
But in time, I won't remember
As life draws toward its end
And my experiences
Become more distant as I age
Fading like a thousand embers
*Through the cycle of remembrance
All these memories in me
One by one will fade away
And forgotten they shall be
Through the cycle of remembrance
All this joy and pain in me
Will one day fade into the void
And forgotten it shall be
(And forgotten it shall be)
*Through the cycle of remembrance
All these memories in me
One by one will fade away
And forgotten they shall be
Through the cycle of remembrance
All this joy and pain in me
Will one day fade into the void
And forgotten it shall be
And forgotten I shall be

Invidia
03:46
|

|
It's the enemy inside me
It's my flesh, blood, and skin
I have all you've ever hunted
The secrets carried deep within (me)
*If I belong to you
Then what must I do
To breach from your invidia
If you leave with shadows' fall
Even if you give your all
Nought remains but your invidia
(Invidia)
(And I have all you've ever hunted)
*If I belong to you
Then what must I do
To breach from your invidia
If you leave with shadows' fall
Even if you give your all
Nought remains but your invidia

Never This Again
04:29
|
|||
|
I move across the water
Without a journey planned
And both the source and destination
Lie unknown
I know not how I got here
Nor how far I must tread
Uncertainty abounds within me
Yet still I roam
*If I ever find my course
If Polaris its light lends
I will leave this place behind
Never this again
I remain on the water
Lost at distant sea
Without the slightest indication
Where to go
Is it my solemn duty
To blaze a brand new trail?
It's the answer to a question
That I may never know
*If I ever find my course
If Polaris its light lends
I will leave this place behind
Never this again
And if storms should follow me
If I ever find the end
Still I'll leave this place behind
Never this again

Christabelle (Demi Mix)

Tonight
You need me
To keep the sun away
The demons are at bay
Tonight
You want me
To hold on to our youth
In time, we'll find the truth
But chaos reigns around you
Ever since the night I found you
So we dance together, it's just as well...
Christabelle
*And the stars shine just for us
And the full moon lights our way
And we're sinking in your ocean
And you're gone...
Tonight
You ask me
To hold so close to you
And of course, I follow through
Tonight
You beg me
To never leave your side
No feelings left to hide
But chaos comes between us
Forever to deceive us
So I dance alone, it's just as well...
Christabelle
Oh, Christabelle
*And the stars shine just for us
And the full moon lights our way
And we're sinking in your ocean
And you're gone, before the light of day
Oh, Christabelle
