Is it simply a kiss of carnal dreams? 
What once a father to tender sleeplessness 

The deviance of youthful whispering 
A majesty to darkness, a visage... my kingdom? 

My centuries laden with dead emotion 
Timeless anguish beckons me 
Into my sleep, the torments of dreamless kin 
Give unto me a time for redemption 

And even now beneath the multitude of stars 

Am I to believe that I stand before god? 
What pitiful illusion am I expected to see? 
Shall I exist in my death, to believe in them? 
As I destroy all you love, before your eyes 

I bequeath unto thee my forever... 

For time hath imprisoned me 
Endowed with the wisdom of centuries 
Yet the sorrow hath befallen me still 
The chosen few are but to remain with me 

United together within the stillness... 
Of an age yet to come 
My children of sadness, I welcome thee... 
Into my arms forever
