Souvenir 04:59 video
Souvenirs are all that’s left forge a new life forward Recollections of past days just dead fruit in the orchard Sentimental oppression heavy in the air Or is the bleak nostalgia what colours his despair? Souvenirs and emblems symbols that came before All his wartime memories hidden in the drawer Now he speaks in silence But so much for us to hear Tripping through his life like a figure sans its puppeteer Regimental oppression reigned across the land All the death upon the beach he can’t understand Souvenirs and emblems symbols of the life before all the painful memories buried in his drawer Souvenirs and emblems relics from a life before like the rose that slowly dies a life that is no more ©2021 Soleil Noir | BMI

Her dreams live in darkness a place so far away Dressed up in false affections But the stars always fade So young, so beautiful a light in the storm it shines so brightly but soon will shine no more Escape all the bindings a privileged life can bring Two sycophants in the shadows Taking all that each gives. So young, so beautiful like sunshine through the rain she burns so brightly while numbing all her pain Now the stars have fallen And her world isn’t right Silver drowns the flame Her ember dies tonight. So young, so beautiful a beacon in the storm She burns so brightly But now she’ll burn no more So young, so beautiful like sunshine through the rain you burnt so brightly it ended all your pain.

Moribund 03:40
Breathless moment pushing forward her last few hours now All our questions have their answers and soon she’ll take… a bow a bow Night will fall The moon will rise This house will soon be still But as her words reveal the secrets they cannot stop her… still. Conversations Backwards, forwards A whisper to a scream The time has come Her curtain call Mother wishes it was… a dream a dream Night will fall The moon will rise Her world is silent now Draw the blinds and Lock the door You can’t turn back… now! Night will fall The moon will rise This house is still So still… So still…

Vienna 03:42
Disappear in the veil of night Our obsession and their fright Is it love, this dark passion play? To survive, is to betray. In Vienna, a cold dark night Silhouette in sodium light His face a dream Her buried past All the bleakness that couldn’t last Oh, Vienna If you only knew. Oh, Vienna Oh, Vienna If I could make a wish I’d find a way To let tomorrow forget today In Vienna, where secrets hide And the truth means you lie Forbidden fruit that rots away They dream the dance of Salome Oh, Vienna If you only knew. Oh, Vienna Oh, Vienna If I could make a wish I’d find a way To let tomorrow forget today. If I could make a wish If I could make a wish If I could make a wish ©2021 Soleil Noir | BMI
