My Dark Reflections of Life and Death - Green Carnation

Pain is self-inflicted, cause is not

I long for my time, long before its due

Tired of resting in despair

Judge me for who I am

Relieve me for what I am

Remember me for what I was

Forgive me for what I became

Where shadows speak of memories

I stand alone in my dark and lonely world

Surrounded by this cold embrace of temptation

White bewinged angel of light

Tempts me to change my life

Come, come to me, she whispers

Longing eyes, she stares through my soul and mind

Wants me to become one of the light

Ah, serpent of lust and lie, where will my path go?

Should I be tempted by the light or should I remain in darkness

All alone, all alone…

Why all this sorrow, why all this confusion?

I was one of thee, why am I left behind?

Hate — fills my mind

Sorrow — breeds my life

But of those I choose, no one is sent out from you

My way will be long, my road will be unknown

Path to eternity, eternity lasts forever

Light of day, day of darkness

I will never be trustfull again…

I am not for you, I am not for those

Not for light, not for life

Farewell to sunlit world

On the dark side we will meet

We will meet again after life…

Time passes slowly

I fade away, life drained

What used to be, what could have been now

I feel no pleasure, only pain

I feed upon my fear of life

Trapped in agony and despair

Anguish of the night

I will meet you again

On the other side…
