Sorrow for the Lost Lenore

by A Dream of Poe

Laudanum 10:12
Simple enough I'm exhausted Terrible noise And vibration Vision is black Tormented days Trembling hands Of shallow dirt Seems so long. The devils are strong The burden is bigger everyday Oh roses and poison… Drunk in desire now And long lost for you In the meadows of nightmares Oh roses and poison Fire deep the throat To sever the skin I'm drowning myself Into another drop of despair Cripples my heart, tears it apart I'm not giving up Of dancing in the meadows of paradise My words come filled with doom in this candle light Now the cup is out of my sight Gone into the far and darkened gloom I dream for evermore felling the loneliness of Lenore Teach me dear raven Where the sun doesn't burn So I can finally dream of a poison That will return Oh help me gentle wine to last one more night This heart is not mine Guide me back to light Simple enough I'm exhausted Terrible noise And vibration Vision is black Tormented days Trembling hands Of shallow dirt Seems so long. The devils are strong The burden is bigger every day Oh roses and poison Drunk in desire now And long lost for you In the meadows of a nightmare Oh roses and poison Teach me dear raven Where the sun doesn't burn So I can finally dream of a poison That will return Oh help me gentle wine to last one more night This heart is not mine Guide me back to light Keep this bottle laid before me Chanting ambary melodies Of times that will never ever come Another drop of green luxury I'm drowning myself in laudanum and mercury How can I regret the life I've sold This winter day is so cold I may dream for evermore For a glance of the lost Lenore

Systems down I'm opening… to you. But sorrow’s in Everything I knew. “Take the line Sever the wine Under a twisted fever mind To see the loss of mankind” “There’s a ghost It’s my gentle host With a twisted fever mind It’s the loss of mankind” Shine trough the glass Oh mirrors of deception In storms no one can see I take a taste of inner sanity The loss of the lost Forgotten shadows I travel through misery To find only me We slept all our lives To awake amongst our past But there’s silence in between Burn me for believing What’s hope in a world so dead? Give me your hand And come taste the sadness Of ghosts Of shadows Of prisons without end Of death And lies Of bestiality without end Come if you can my darkest friend As above so below Here is my heart for you to throw And I am here to rot with this world Together… together… together now Systems down I'm opening… to you. But sorrow’s in Everything I knew. I made a mistake I'm about to brake The weirder the better With whispers of ether I am the escaped one, After I was born They locked me up inside me But I left. My soul seeks me, Through hills and valley, I hope my soul Never finds me.

Fields of flowers Crops of sorrow Spreading fresh air To the ones of tomorrow Goodbye I may never grab you Little one, free your mind Let the wind blow through Your weak soul You can continue crawling Look behind that window Whisper gently, whisper... Little one, lose your hope Open up I won’t grab you Little one, lose your hope Open up I won’t grab you Just keep on stretching your hand I can hear I can see you fading away I can almost hold you for a moment I may crawl I may fall I may tremble just for you I may cry I may lie Stretch out your hand for me That gentle and innocent look Expressing the sadness Involving that young soul Into the deepest madness Little one, free your mind Let the wind blow through Your weak soul You can continue crawling Look behind that window Whisper gently, whisper... Take me back to the sun Guide me through my skin Hold me like no one Take me from within Little one, free your mind Let the wind blow through Your weak soul You can continue crawling Look behind that window Whisper gently, whisper...

As I draw up my breath, And silver fills my eyes. I kiss her still, For she will never rise. - Never rise for me - On my weak body, Lays her dying hand. Through those meadows of Heaven, Where we ran. On my weak body, where we ran Like a thief in the night, The wind blows so light. It wars with my tears, That won’t dry for many years. They won’t dry for you - Get away, don’t get away - This shallow soul, this broken path is mine My way, My time, My death, And angels cry Strike me now with the poison of your slumber This shallow soul, This broken path is mine Dear beauty don’t wake up, Sleep now Lets lay together in just one grave Why surrender? “Loves golden arrow At her should have fled, And not Deaths ebon dart To strike her dead.” Love golden arrow As I drew up my breath I kiss her still To strike her death On my weak body lays her dying hands Through those meadows of Heaven, Where we ran.

Dance in the dark for me Glance gently the river to be free Seven years dying is not a lot When you are a whisper on an open cut Two and three and all your simple sympathy A box of fleshy memories… Ancient stones of old mysteries I see the door but there are no keys No voice in the muddy waters To lift me up of these watery tragedies And it grows and flows Down a stream of consciousness The silent whisper of a friend Who dies over and over again… - This is not a goodbye - Sever the parts as chaos - Just destiny - - This is not a goodbye - The magic never quite seems the same - Just Destiny - - This is not a goodbye - Hold it up high enough - Just Destiny - - This is not a goodbye - And call it by its name - This is not a goodbye - Seven angels crying is not a lot When you are a whisper of an open cut I miss the ghost as it came by Every night waving goodbye Join the pain My dearest gloom of destiny Join all this sweet insanity And it grows and flows Down a stream of consciousness The silent whisper of a friend Who dies over and over again…
