Lyrics Green Carnation

Green Carnation

Light of Day, Day of Darkness

A vision, a call

In times before my fall

In life before I became

I dreamt I was insane

I saw the unseen

I heard the unheard

I rode the sky above the earth

I felt the breeze of the world

I walked along

I should have retrieved

What was real as a merry blue sky

Was long gone within of me

Crimson tide

Wave of lost time

Scenario of a velvet blue sky

I dreamt about day

But I lived in the night

I looked and I saw

That in my dream I was free

Red turned blue

White became black

The daylight erased the shadow of me

Insanity reached

Whispering voice

The sky above the stars

The wind below the moon

The light created shadows

The dark beyond the eyes

I sat before myself

I looked above below

Doves and birds, grass and trees

Where was all I used to see?

Why am I not

What I used to be?

I embrace

My living self

I see the unseen

I hear the unheard

I learned the secret

But not before I learned

Night divide day, day erase night

Light of day, day of Darkness

They are inside my head

Climbing the walls

Falling off the ceiling

Jumping on the floor

Voices and calls

And on the edge of sanity

I stumble and fall

Through the gates of the endless halls

Come walk with me

Through the valley of eternity

In passion I see

Am I the one only the mirror sees?

Through the valley of eternity

Am I the one only the mirror sees?

A distant call for me

I am lost within my memory

Lost in the maze

The secret place that no one's ever seen

I am lost within my memory

The secret place that no one's ever seen

Silent cries of despair

Through the valley of eternity

What sanity remains

Within this frail and twisted mind

I am all alone

Me, myself, and I

Echoes pound my head

Shapeless forms everywhere

I think, therefore I am

You are a fantasy

Made by me

I dream this world

When I end, the world will end with me

I am everything

You are me

Sleep my child to never be

I fell asleep, to sweet lullaby

A sleep in which I had a dream

In this dream

I conceived a perfect plan

That would change the face of mankind

For it was my dream

To create a perfect world

From this cold imperfect world

And all the answers were inside my mind

And I was unafraid

The dream was so enticing

Light of day, day of Darkness

The soul of an angel

Will live forever

The love of the innocent

Will last forever

A moments passion

I hear a desperate cry

I weep for the weak

I pray for the strong

But now I see it fate

And I'm lying here alone

Through Crimson eye

And shattered lie,

Preform the sacrifice

Of the innocent life

There's blood on the bended knee

The light paint a shadow on me

Will I forsake you

Or will I the forsaken be?

I left my body

Come meet me in my dreams

It's been so long

Would you know me?

I see the unseen

I heard the unheard

I learned the secret

But not before I learned

Time stands still, but I wonder

Who is watching you

Who is watching me

Will I forsake you

Or will I forsaken me

I am so lost but still I am so free

As a traveller

I seek hospitality

As a wanderer

I seek immortality

As a journey through insanity

I seek divine comparity

Funeral Symphony

Behind me, a dark shaping mass

I turn and face, the face of deception

A face without the warmth

Of dignity and grace

In Twilight atmosphere

A silent seductive call

To my new world

A great new world

Where right is wrong

And justice is gone

I fell asleep, to sweet lullaby

A sleep in which I had a dream

In this dream

I conceived a perfect plan

That would change the face of mankind

For it was my dream

To create a perfect world

From this cold imperfect world

And all the answers were inside my mind

And I was unafraid

The dream was so enticing

In this dream I conceived the perfect plan

I sit here alone, so cold

Left in the dark, to feel

Pity my soul

What is left to say?

What is left to see?

Where did I fail?

Watch me and my new desire

I am emptier than ever

But I feel complete

I conceal myself

Until night falls

I am who I am

I just want to be

I hear a voice

Who could it be?

Is there anybody else here with me?

Why do you torture me?

Won't you leave me be?

Am I whom I should be?

For all that you are lies only within of me

Out of reach, out of sight

I feel strange and lost

can you lead me right?

It's too dark for me to see

Capture of soul

won't you please forgive me?

I heard the tales

Of the secret way

That tears are replacements

For what has been taken away

From us and those who were lost

Still, all I see is burning fields

Still, all I hear is dying screams

For all that you are

Lies only within me

I am the future

I am the past

I am what you wish for

The god you wish to be

I am the voice

Behind the silent scream

I am the dark

I am the light you'll never see

I am the blood

That makes your soul free

I am pure

I am unclean

It takes one to be a god

It takes one to feel lonely

It takes two to outlast me

It takes two to feel complete

It takes a moon to light the stars

It takes a light to see the dark

Insanity reached

Whispering voice

The sky above the stars

The wind below the moon

The light created shadows

The dark beyond the eyes

I sat before myself
