Tainted

Once so innocent and pure,

You're now a tainted creature...

Your white wings have gathered dust...

The time has come, my dearest lover

To spread them high.

The blood that you've been drinking

Has turned your wings to black.

But now you've grown into your skin

And have become yourself,

Now there's a woman in your shoes

And will begin your life.

Although you're tainted now, my dear

You have always been...

This has been your destiny

For all these centuries.

But in your tainted glory, love,

You have lived your life.

In your last moment alive

Take off into the bloody sky.

Winged

Black winged creatures fill the Western sky,

And no one below ever wonders...

No doubts about their purpose here,

No questions required, no fear...

These winged people have always been here

Present always, absent never,

Hidden away under layers of ignorance,

Under layers of history,

Under the earth itself,

Behind the dark side of the moon...

Around.

Winged creatures fill the Eastern sky,

And in their presence all will bow,

For they are innocent, and ruthless.

For they are dead and still alive.

For they are demons in disguise.

All we've got

Bloodshot eyes and silent prayers

Sent to a bloody sunrise sky,

Falling slowly through the nightmares

In another eastern sky.

Talk me out of leaving you,

Tell me you need me to stay...

In your other waking moments

Tell me you're coming my way.

Tell me you need me around,

Show me how much you care,

For in my last waking moment

I need a reason to stay.

Stop telling me all of your reasons,

Be the man you are

For at the end of every day,

We're all we've got.

Empty

Empty days and Eastern skies

Filling empty dreams and empty lies

No green in your empty eyes,

No one shall hear your cries.

Let the silver moon just shine

Over tall tops of pine,

Remember, your suffering's mine,

Everything will be just fine.
