The Path of the Damned

There are may paths leading to salvation, some say. And as many leading to demise. But on The Path I must take, I plod alone...

I'm not a king
I'm just a bard
How can I trust
If there's good and bad
The wounds of life
They will remain
At least I found a friend

Your life is lost, your soul is damned
But it feels too good to make a stand
Bad is bad, but this is worse
Let judgment come, you love this curse

The serpent is crawling inside of your ear
He says you must vote for what you want to hear
Don't matter what's wrong as long as you're alright
So pull yourself stupid and rob yourself blind


...


And as we wind on down the road
Our shadows taller than our souls
There walks a lady we all know
Who shines white light and wants to show
How everything still turns to gold
And if you listen very hard
The tune will come to you at last
When all are one and one is all
To be a rock and not to roll


...


Not about to see your light
But if you wanna find hell with me
I can show you what it's like
...Till you're bleeding...


Do you wanna bang heads with me...?
Do you wanna feel everything...?



...


Sweet child in time
You'll see the line
The line that's drawn
Between good and bad.
See the blind man
Shooting at the world.
Bullets flying
Taking toll.

If you've been bad, (oh) Lord, I bet you have
And you've not been hit, oh, by flying lead
You'd better close your eyes
O-oh, bow your head
Wait for the ricochet
...

Talk to me softly
There's something in your eyes
Don't hang your head in sorrow
And please don't cry
I know how you feel inside I've
I've been here before
Somethin's changin' inside you
And don't you know

Don't you cry tonight
I still love you baby
Don't you cry tonight
Don't you cry tonight
There's a heaven above you baby
And don't you cry tonight

Give me a whisper
And give me a sigh
Give me a kiss before you tell me goodbye
Don't you take it so hard now
And please don't take it so bad
I'll still be thinking of you
And the times we had… baby

Don't you cry tonight
Don't you cry tonight
Don't you cry tonight
There's a heaven above you baby
And don't you cry tonight

And please remember that I never lied
And please remember
How I felt inside now honey
You gotta make it your own way
But you'll be alright now sugar
You'll feel better tomorrow
Come the morning light now baby

And don't you cry tonight
And don't you cry tonight
And don't you cry tonight
There's a heaven above you baby
And don't you cry
Don't you ever cry
Don't you cry tonight
Baby maybe someday
Don't you cry
Don't you ever cry
Don't you cry
Tonight

Withered hands, withered bodies begging for salvation
Deserted by the hand of gods, of their own creation
Nations cry underneath decaying skies above
You are guilty, the punishment is death for all who live...
The punishment is death for all who live...

The killing fields, the grinding wheels crushed by equilibrium
Separate lives no more disguise, no more second chances
Haggard wisdom spitting out the bitter taste of hate
I accuse you! Before you know the crime it's all too late...
Before you know the crime it's all too late...

My tears fall like rain
From the longlasting pain
When I look at your eyes
My heart just dies
Beauty divine
I hope you'll be mine
Open your arms
For all time

All dressed in white
Bringer of light
Spend time with me
All through the night

Beauty divine
Your tears taste like wine
Come to me
For all time

My spine shivers with the touch of your lips...
My pale skin turns red when we kiss...
Piercing your nails deep into my back...
As I slowly kiss your ivory neck...

I started to cry after hours of joyful sin...
My tears turned to roses as they embraced your skin...
I gathered them to a bouquet of the most beautiful flowers...
A bouquet of the most secret and ancient powers...

My amber heart started to glow as I died really slow...

I’m waiting in my cold cell when the bell begins to chime
Reflecting on my past life and it doesn’t have much time
Cos at 5 o’clock they take me to the gallows pole
The sands of time for me are running low

When the priest comes to read me the last rites
I take a look through the bars at the last sights
Of a world that has gone very wrong for me

Can it be there’s some sort of error
Hard to stop the surmounting terror
Is it really the end not some crazy dream

Somebody please tell me that I’m dreaming
It’s not so easy to stop from screaming
But words escape me when I try to speak
Tears they flow but why am I crying
After all I am not afraid of dying
Don’t believe that there is never an end

As the guards march me out to the courtyard
Someone calls from a cell God be with you
If there’s a God then why has he let me die?

As I walk all my life drifts before me
And though the end is near I’m not sorry
Catch my soul cos it’s willing to fly away

Mark my words please believe my soul lives on
Please don’t worry now that I have gone
I’ve gone beyond to see the truth

When you know that your time is close at hand
Maybe then you’ll begin to understand
Life down there is just a strange illusion.

Had I the heavens' embroidered cloths,
Enwrought with golden and silver light,
The blue and the dim and the dark cloths
Of night and light and the half-light,
I would spread the cloths under your feet:
But I, being poor, have only my dreams;
I have spread my dreams under your feet;
Tread softly because you tread on my dreams.

Who stole your heartbeat in the night?
The acolytes fearful in the flickering light
They hold a mirror
...to catch the breath from your mouth
But your breath was stolen
...by the wind from the south...

Another winter's tale is done,
Your immortal lover... is gone
The chalice stolen from her hand,
Eternal life at her command
Now all that she rules, must sleep...

The howling shriek of death in your eyes
The hawklord and the beast,
Enter your room
The gold will turn to rust
Your empire follows you...
...Into your tomb
The wraiths of night caress,
And whisper softly now:
''We are the dead''
They bear your life away,
They tear your heart in two...
They've taken the queen

To some better place...
...so they think, as the flame burns low

Now the flame burns higher
And it purifies the love that died
A stone rolls closed on a life
Back to the earth, sealing the tomb

Our skeletons rise through the veil of blood,
Who summons us now from our graves?
''We are the dead''
The shriek of death in your eyes,
The hawklord and the beast,
Enter your room
The wraiths of night caress,
And whisper softly now
''We are the dead''
They bear your life away,
They've torn your heart in two
They've taken the queen...

Još sam bio sasvim mlad,
neke barske ptice sam lovio tad,
kad je došla da se kupa lepa protina kći.

Nije znala gde sam ja,
da je gledam, krišom, kroz trsku i šaš,
a preko reke noć je pala kao plašt.

Mesec tinja nad vrbakom,
srebri nebo, zveda roj,
i kapi vode kao biseri
koji blistaju svud po njoj...

O srce ludo, ludi sni,
već se moji drugovi momčili svi.
A ja sam hteo samo jednu:
lepu protinu kći.

Čudnom pesmom zvoni drum,
te su zime i svatovi došli po nju,
iz daleka, neki svet za mene tuđ.

Bas sam prošao sokakom.
Padao je prvi sneg.
I još ponekad zazvone praporci
što je odnose, ko zna gde...

Da se ženim, imam kad.
Ja sam, eto, ostao momak do sad.
Nikad više nisam sreo lepu protinu kši.

Jedan život, miran, tih.
Nekad bacim kartu il' napišem stih.
Stvari teku, ja se držim izvan njih.

I ljubim dobre, ljubim lake.
Neke prave, a neke ne.

I sve su vile,
Ma sve su kraljice...
...I sve su nevažne naspram nje...
