Only at night does the world show its true face, only with stars do people stop their pretend.

Only at night are  the games not played, everyone becomes the robber and the cops aren't there.

Only when children cry in their beds, do you see humanity fully expressed.
Only when children escape through windows, do you see the leaders of tomorrow.

Only at night do the stars come out, only at night do wolves howl at the dark.

Only at night is the pain really felt.
Only at night do people kneel in prayer.

Only at night do people dream of a better place, eyes wide shut and hope no-one shakes them awake.

Only at night and not during the day.

For in the day, we all smile and pretend we're all ok.

When i stand by you time seems still
I look at your eyes and see us in eternity oh how i wish that wouldn't just be a dream

With time you have become more than i ever thought you could be
With time you have broken the bounderies
you led me to believe
You have built a place in my heart
please dont plan to leave
You have planted a seed
let it grow
stay
dont leave

Dont throw stones in my glass heart
dont light fires around my emotional yard

Dont do anything besides love
dont do anything
dont leave me behind

As the petals dropped in what felt like time standing still. The roses lost not only their beauty but also their reason to live.

The sun seemed cold and hell looked warm and friendly. Heaven became a dream that mortal minds could not understand.

And so i longed to converse with the earth, to solemnly plea for it to take me in. Open the graves of forefathers forgotten, remove a few bones and take their impassive positions.

Spend eternity dormant and hopefully forgotten. Leave the world of pain to the hypocrits that run it.

But alas i cannot even bargain with death, for truth betold i am a coward.

So destined am i to trod this rode alone, for naked i came, and naked i shall depart.

From this cold hopelessness world.

My poetic muse in times of love.
The colour of my passion, the centre of my inspiration.

With your eyes you inspire me towards the stars, with your crystal shine you light up my mind and inspire me to write.

Your words and love have become my ink, your stubborness and pride the fire to my dreams. You carry me further beyond my limits, break my borders of normal thinking.

My muse.
My inspiration.
The epitome of my poetic nature.

Lovers
Dreamers
Lend me your ears

Lend me love
Lend me compassion
Lend me hope that today's acts are only a passing

Lovers
Dreamers
Lend me your ears

Lend me the foundations of love which you are based on
Lend me life
Lend me your religon
Lend me this culture that seems so emotionally indefferent

Lovers
Dreamers
Lend me your ears

Lend me this pagan religon of love unpure
Lend me the ability to love my wife and more

Lovers
Dreamers
Lend me your ears

Teach me this immoral act of lustful cravings
Teach me how to love you today and your sister tomorrow

Lovers Dreamers lend me your ears
Is it right to say i love?
Is it right to say i do?
When love just means:
For today i love you.

Physical beauty and lustful attraction
Is how you entered and became the centre of my affection

Adorned by rubies and jewels of great value
Your outward appearance antegonises your inner beauty

You where not there to love
You where not there to please

You came to rip open my heart
You came to disturb my inner peace

You took over in the glimpse of an eye
You left me destitute with your wooden lies

You came you saw you conquered
I was fooled was played was left alone and broken.

The **** crowed once and i denied our love, i was tested and passed in immoral lust.

Temptations came in my moments of weakness, the world was arrayed infront of me with all its riches.

I turned the bread to stone, i bowed down and gave up my evil soul. I broke my heart by braking yours, i let you down, i failed the trial.

Babes i'm sorry.

Babes dont hate me.

Please dont leave me, stay, forgive me.

Dont brake my heart like i broke yours.

Dont make me cry, after your gone.

I confess my heart to you. I acknowledge my wrongs are passed and true.

But please forgive me, stay, dont leave me.
