lyrics

Living Sepulchre (1995, 2005, 2009)

I gave myself
until there was
nothing left of me

Yet I never said
no when you
needed me

You never knew
or cared how
fragile I really was

I scream but you cannot hear me

So if you wonder
why I've vanished
to the hell of myself

Year after year I've
built these walls
and finally sealed myself inside

Without air
Without light
I close my eyes

You're screaming but I cannot hear you

Betrayed, abandoned
by those I loved the most


Vessel (1993, 2004, 2008)

Stranded upon a desperate shore, afraid
that the sea could wash all of our dreams away
into it's everflowing infinity...
or do these tides hold for us sanctuary?

Tonight, will you sail away
with open arms and eyes ablaze?

Believe...in me...

With passion I've built this vessel for us to wander
these oceans that rage within each other
and though the waves, as if to resist, will arise
If we have faith, ne'er will we capsize

Tonight, will you sail away
with open arms and eyes ablaze?

Believe...in me...

Guided by our hearts aflame like the stars above
The journey to heaven begins with this deepest of loves
Have faith without fear, open your heart, breathe and believe
Together we'll find our peace somewhere across the seas

Tonight we will sail away
with open hearts and eyes ablaze

Believe...in me...
