Dark Chamber Dance

I'm asking you out for a dance
Hoping for this big romance… with you
I’d like to think you are mine
It brings shivers down my spine… for me
We’re sailing across the dismal sea
With coasts so grey naturally… oh wee
We’re dancing towards darker moods
Delivering our bleakest goods… us two
You move in a mysterious way
As if my eyes led me astray… no way
We’re sailing across the dismal sea
With coasts so grey naturally… oh wee
Suddenly we’re moving like it is our only chance
Heading for a darker chamber dance
Suddenly we’re caught up in a deeper state of trance
Heading for a darker chamber dance

Spirits of this world
Your presence still unheard
Make me free from sin
Cleanse me from within
Spirits of this night
Shine your darkest light
Let me feel your pain
Leaving me restrained

Weeping Willow's Wisdom
04:39

Oh weep, oh weep, the willow tree
For his ancient wisdom is ours to see
Yet his disastrous fate was soon to be
A life of mere solitary
So the oaks laughed at him down the wood
Cause in the darkened valley, alone he stood
No companion to share his wisdom grand
Not even a human soul that would understand
But with persistence and might he survived them all
The oaks and maples, he would watch them fall
As lumberjacks cut them piece by piece
He was the only one to be rid of disease
Oh weep, oh weep, the willow tree
Our years are numbered, so you will see
Cause no one will live to tell the day
the life of Willow got washed away
Oh weep, oh weep, the willow tree (2x)

As we enter this stage of divinity
Drawn by the power of the almighty trinity
The Father, The Son and The Holy Spirit
Enlightening those who believe and live it
So this is my holy sacrament
As I move towards my bitter end
So this is my holy testament
As He’s luring me towards my sanctious end
The incense’s scent
Your final wish is my command
Your presence is meant…
to be the ending part of my lament
For His sacred words speak right through me
The Bible fulfilling my own prophecy
And His shimmering eyes look right through me
Nailed on the cross, shaping my purity
The incense’s scent
Your final wish is my command
As we enter this stage of sacrament
His presence feels quite imminent
Yet we shall not be feared by the Lord
As His guidance is the only way forth
Sacrament... His presence is meant

For I want to be, in the likes of He
Creator of good, Bringer of food
For I’m destined to be, in the light of Thee
Bringer of wine, pleasure divine
For I am to see, my own misery
Searching for hope, a life for the Pope
For I will obey, commandments that lay
Ten of them all, preventing my fall
AMEN (5x)
