1.
So lonely in this heart Eyes to the sky but no stars above Possession, a black heart and soul A fragile flame kisses the wind Now take my hand; walk with me Across this frozen land With hands out stretched You give me. Deceit the gift of love You give me. Deceit the gift of love.

Les Oubliés 05:05
This dim reflection in the glass after the rainfall A cold and numbing pain takes me down and wins again This light dances across the wall feel her essence wax and wane Time and time again misery just drowns the ache The moon breaks through the clouds it's ancient magick guides the way These violent memories and rage A purity for the new age.
3.
Deep inside your heart of hearts Just know your time is brief You look beyond the gates at dawn But you you won't find relief If all the death and all the pain could only wash away Just close your eyes, sip in the night It's always been this way In your heart of hearts In your heart of hearts In your heart of hearts There's only death In your heart of hearts.
4.
No reflection in what I left behind So cruel. Turned your back I was blind All these thoughts And the moments rushing back I'm on the floor again And your room is painted black The sky is white, my mind is numb The line is drawn as I succumb I can't escape the feeling That something isn't right I can't escape the feeling When day turns to night I can't escape the feeling And nothing can be done Trust only instinct Now turn around and run.
