Lyrics

Absence
-Laura-

Have you run your finger down
My back
And have you felt my trembling body
While I’m searching for the reason?
Sometimes it eludes me,
I just want to understand, why?
I’ve sensed something that leaves me numb
When I’m watching you, when I’m alone at night
As I hear footsteps behind
As I turn around and there’s no one behind
I find it hard to look again
Because I’m sure there’s
No one behind




Sarna Rituaali (The Ritual Words)  
-Christine Feehan-

You are my lifemate.
I claim you as my lifemate.
I belong to you.
I offer my life for you.
I give you my protection.
I give you my allegiance..
I give you my heart.
I give you my soul.
I give you my body.
I take into my keeping the same that is yours.
Your life will be cherished by me for all my time.
Your life will be placed above my own for all time.
You are my lifemate.
You are bound to me for all eternity.
You are always in my care.


 


The Guardian
 -Dianne Duval-

Though time has passed, tonight I stand
at your grave, my grief an open wound
that begs for the healing touch of your hand
and absorbs the soothing light of the moon.
My toes sink into soft black earth,
give birth to roots that twist and turn
in graceful arcs as they venture forth
to embrace you. My veins burn
as water replaces blood. I close my eyes,
feel my fingers form leaves, my arms breed branches
that reach toward the heavens. I realize
my prayers have finally been granted.
Above you I stand guard: your lover, your shelter,
at peace. Once more, we are together.




Invictus
-William Ernest Henley-

Out of the night that covers me,
Black as the Pit from pole to pole,
I thank whatever gods may be
For my unconquerable soul.

In the fell clutch of circumstance
I have not winced nor cried aloud.
Under the bludgeonings of chance
My head is bloody, but unbowed.

Beyond this place of wrath and tears
Looms but the Horror of the shade,
And yet the menace of the years
Finds, and shall find, me unafraid.

It matters not how strait the gate,
How charged with punishments the scroll.
I am the master of my fate:
I am the captain of my soul.

He can't forget, the one that eats at his heart will bury him alive
He can't let her go, the stoned memories have become jems
Recently time has forgiven her, but she won't be back again
His soul's been swapped with the devil to bring her back to him,
Still she won't be coming back again
The devil's hungry heart's been eating at his insides,
Turning him into a living corpse
Still it's hard for him to move on,
He is only happy when waiting for her return.....
