Blackened Raven

“Blackened Raven”
October 20, 2004

Today I’m different from yesterday
Yesterday we danced
Twisted in romance
Pure and free
With love innocently

One, in each other’s soul
Now faded sounds
Lost in chaos and lack of control

Yearning to stay with you in yesterday
Where our luminous gleam saved me
Distant from my fury
Bring me there
With your hands so fair

Please break its power
Stop the Darkness
Slay this monster

I dress for another day in war
As I wait for its random ritual
Violently, it thrusts against my skull
The screams are all too familiar
Trust is a liar

Faith is disguised
I’ve descended
Into its darken eyes

Defiantly I refuse to let you go
Yet Love seems fatal
And all words become hostile
I try to overlook its manipulation
Still it persists in its coercion

Where is your caress that heals my scars?
Reopened by the blackened mouth that swallows me in
I’m captured set behind bars

Yearning to stay with you in yesterday
I pray to thee
For our luminance that saved me
Hold me
Free me

With your hands that sent heaven
Stop this Darkness
Unravel the quilt we have woven

Bring me back to my beloved, I scream
Choosing to fight
I search for memories, for my knight
The blacken raven cloaks me with its wings
I pray, I sing

Surrender me to the light!
Resist the darkness
And remember our night

Swept by the blackened raven
Feeling the Pounding Underneath my flesh
Looking above to our days in our haven

Forget the horror that soils my flesh
I’m being swallowed
Hate is echoed
You watch my eyes close
The raven remains, exposed

Paralyzed I reminisce
In the distance I hear a faint sound
Slowly my body has unbound
You try to awaken me with a kiss
Your affection almost remiss

Familiar lips whisper,
“Remain the shine that clears this strife
Come back to our life
… Of once purity”
Sing me your song of unity as I cry …

Yearn to stay with you in yesterday
I now pray to thee
That the glow will guide me
Bring me there, Again
With your hands that sent heaven

One day you will
Stop the Darkness
And the raven you will kill
