Zioniac's Lyrics

Dreaming the Sea

Is there anywhere I haven't been? Where does this road lead?
My thoughts trail on forever, Tales of endless lifetimes
I am stuck here, frozen in time - A whirlwind of nightly visions
Blinded by neon lights, The masquerade has arrived...

Why did you walk away? Why did you leave?
Across the sea, to foreign lands
What was it I did? Where are you now?
A wave of red satin glows

I travel through corridors of light, This winter storm takes its toll
Lost in this maze of decadence, The door is covered by years of rust

Our ship has set sail too late, Time was never on our side
Autumn lies turn to ashes, The night grows cold and bitter

Why should I walk away? Why didn't you stay?
Covering oceans of time, in your hands
Was it something we did? Where am I now?
A taste of red wine flows

Days turn into years, We drift away into darkness
Still, my journey is not complete

Why should I walk away? Why didn't you stay?
Across the sea, to foreign lands
Was it something we did? Where am I now?
A wave of red satin glows

"As we dance endlessly,
In the memory of my mind
I realize that
Yellow is the color of madness"



Revitalized

As we walk through the garden of the dead
Lost worlds, haunted by dreams
A ray of eclipsing sunlight
We see the cold hand of fate

I am convinced we are dead but dreaming
On the onyx throne, beneath the waves
Voices of lost ones pollute the air
Blissful scars line my face

Chained Within, where is the key?
Swept away in a forgotten passage
Immobilized by something I can't see
A mid-summer's night never ends

Dreams float away like leaves
The forests age with grace
The northern wind, cold as ice
As you fly across the silver sky

Chained Within, where is the key?
Swept away in a forgotten passage
Immobilized by something I can't see
A mid-summer's night never ends

As I walk, ever onward
Give my thanks to the lady of the lake



The Last Dynasty

Lost in the fields of Eden
Embraced by purple fog
Empty voices that echo on forever

An empire that once stood tall
There to see the towers fall
Will anyone notice at all
That we are gone [never to return]

Dwelling in the lands of Babylon
Haunted by red eyes
Hollow music makes the air dance

A legacy not built to last
Into the depths we are cast
Faceless strangers dig up the past
Only to remember [who we were]

Upon the shores of Avalon
Enthralled by pink dreams
Distant beats that grow with time

The last dynasty
The last chapter
The last pages
Of our diary [wash away]

An empire that once stood tall
There to see the towers fall
Will anyone notice at all
That we are gone [never to return]

A legacy not built to last
Into the depths we are cast
Faceless strangers dig up the past
Only to remember [who we were]

Xenith's Lyrics

Beyond Eternity

What is it about you that makes my heart beat so?
Is it the casual way you act, or the way your eyes seem to glow?
I know you are the only one whose smile can bring tears to my eyes
The only one whose shining light guides me through a world of deception and lies.

So, stay with me Until the night has gone
Hold me in your arms As I sing to you this song

What is it about you that makes the stars so unreal?
What is it about you that allows me to truly feel?
You are so beautiful, so dark... the mystery around you draws me in
How can a love so true, so pure in the eyes of others, be a sin?

Boku wa kodoku...
Asobi ni kite, Kudasai...
Dare demo ii, Nan demo ii
Kudasai...
Boku no omoi kokoro
Kimi no kisu o yumemiru...
Kurushimi desu ka?
Kore wa koi desu ka?
Eien ni boku o shinjite...
Eien ni boku o aishiteru...

Stay with me until the night has gone
Hold me in your arms as I sing to you this song
Stay with me until we are finally free
Hold me in your arms as we dance beyond eternity



Shattered

Dreaming beyond nights...Beyond days...
Beyond lifetimes...Will you dream with me?
Calm my fears of darkness...Fears of death...
Fears of solitude...Become my Angel of Truth

Caress my cheek like fragile glass
Lead me quietly to the void
Decipher what is, "not what it seems"
Take me to a place we can dream together
Show me what is real
Heal my shattered soul with your holy light

I will find what is lost in your eyes
You complete me in ways I never thought could be
Whisper breathlessly, "I shall not leave your side"
I beg you, come closer; I can almost feel your light

I have searched for you for so long
I have never felt so alive
I close my eyes and fall into the moment
I pray that this is more than a dream
Tell me this is real
Heal my shattered heart with your holy light



Desperation

Trapped in this prison made of blood, flesh, and bone
Wishing for release, my soul longing to roam
Will this suffering ever draw to an end?
I cry out in pain just to see you again

Ce n'est qu'un rêve.... ce n'est vrai pas...

The stars in the sky, so beautiful and cold,
Are the tears I've shed, and the Angels now hold
I fall to my knees, screaming into the night.
I cannot go on without you in my life

Je ferrait n'importe quoi pour vous....

Your face haunts my dreams... I need to be with you...
Please come back to me, tell me what I must do...
I have to find you... I have to make it right...
Lost inside this darkness, will I ever see light?

Je t'aime pour toujour... mon coeur...

The Grand and Illustrious Holy Writ of his Most Sublime and Glorious Majesty

The Light of Dawn

I will survive
It is what I was built for
Though all love and life is lost
I will go on, and hold your light as in years before

Though the memory of our love is gone
The feeling of your touch will not die away
Still I feel your rapture, your embrace
Yearning for some release from all this pain

Though no breath stirs your body
And no dream now can touch your flesh
Still I hold the light and must go on
Alone before the world, against all this death

I will survive
What I have become
Though tomorrow's hope is gone
I will go on, and hold your light high upon the stone

There is still the longing, forever there
My soul is torn with your exodus
Never to dance together, hold you in my arms
Still I remember the love that grew and blossomed for us

I will survive
All that I have lost
Through the light we are reborn
I will go on, and meet you there...
...In the dawn, beyond the storm



Majesty

Behold, you have called forth the fires of my heart,
And in communion I shall spread my wings over us
That we might fly in to the silver moonlight

And against the sands of long years, and the ashes of time
Be joined as before, to share of a love that has not been known
Since before the coming of the light

Together, united as one, folded in my wings we shall rise
Above the earth's shadow

And sail, with hearts entwined into the glory that is to be
Remembering the majesty that was before
Partaking in the joy that we share now
And dreaming of the rapture that is to come



Wings of Ice

You cross the heavens on wings of ice,
Shimmering in the morning star's light
What prayer could ease your mourning?
Feel the power of beautiful suffering

A touch of feathers and starlight
Within your eyes I can see the fire
That draws me to you
A dream of love beyond time
Cry tears of light and burning ice
In shades of lunar blue

Sheathed in cold fire, I am thy promise made flesh!

A taste of winter and angels
Did pride cause you to rebel
Against the highest throne?
A crown of thorns and desire
Wraps around your frozen heart
Bleeding, but not alone

Once I held the crystalline embers
To make eternity remember
Cast out, broken for a higher love
Frozen - as below, so above

Bound in cold passion, I am thy covenant made whole!

Oh, yeah... a couple more

Depeche Mode - The Things You Said

I heard it from my friends about the things you said
I heard it from my friends about the things you said
You know me better than that
You know me better than that
You know my weaknesses, I never tried to hide them
You know my weaknesses, I've never denied them

I heard it from my friends about the things you said
I heard it from my friends about the things you said
How can a view become so twisted?
How can you become so twisted?
You know my weaknesses, I never tried to hide them
You know my weaknesses, you tried them

I get so carried away
You brought me down to earth
I thought we had something precious
Now I know what it's worth

I heard it from my friends about the things you said
I heard it from my friends about the things you said
I’ve never felt so disappointed
Never felt so disappointed

You know my weaknesses, I never tried to hide them
You know my weaknesses, I thought that you liked them

I get so carried away
You brought me down to earth
I thought we had something precious
Now I know what it's worth

You know me better than that... (x4)



Cutting Crew - I Just Died In Your Arms

I keep looking for something I can't get
Broken hearts lie all around me
And I don't see an easy way to get out of this
Her diary, it sits by the bedside table
The curtains are closed, the cats in the cradle
Who would've thought that a boy like me could come to this

Oh I just died in your arms tonight
It must've been something you said
I just died in your arms tonight
Oh I just died in your arms tonight
It must've been some kind of kiss
I should've walked away... ...I should've walked away

Is there any just cause for feeling like this?
On the surface I'm a name on a list
I try to be discreet but then blow it again
I've lost and found it's my final mistake
She's loving by proxy, no give and all take
'Cause I've been thrilled to fantasy one too many times.

Oh I just died in your arms... (chorus)

It was a long hot night
She made it easy, she made it feel right
But now it's over the moment has gone
I followed my hands not my head
I know I was wrong

Oh I just died in your arms... (chorus)
