THE VISION BLEAK LYRICS

1. The Kindred Of The Sunset

Like a drapery falling downward
The dark spreads out in exquisite elegance
Melancholy reaching climax
Betimes you feel its wraith
In all the elements

Aflame—the heavens seem to burn now untamed
While the earth is clad in a luscious blueish dress
Ignite—these candles need to burn now
The night unveils ...its echoing spook of death'

We are the kindred of the sunset
We are to fade
We seem like a blackened silhouette
We are the children of the sunset
We know we are to burn
A blaze of night ahead

We are the children of the sunset [2x]

We are to fade
We seem
We know
We are to burn

Nocturnal haze coming forth
A ghost...
Devouring my secrecies
Gliding over fields as mist wailing grievously

Extinct!
The heavens seem to burn no more
The Earth is clad in a funeral dress
Elapsed!
The hourglass got turned once more
So pleased we sip the elixir of death

We are the kindred of the sunset
We are to fade
We seem like a blackened silhouette
We are the children of the sunset
We know we are to burn
A blaze of night ahead

We are the children of the sunset [2x]
A blackened silhouette

2. The Whine Of The Cemetery Hound

Forgotten and forlorn
Graveyard corridors
Remains with mold adorn
Voiceless orators

Been haunting here so long
Observing everything decompose
Tombstones that sink into the ground
until they are gone

Assimilating stillness
into grave poetry
In these vaults so lightless
Being home to me

This is my kingdom
Reich of the Dead
Where shapes sepulchral
In patience outspread

The Quietus
The Fall
O Ruin and Decay

Ash and Dust
Earth and Stone
O gray pits of dismay

Time has no sense
in the realm of the dead
Where silver-tonqued souls
are quietly met

This is my kingdom
Reich of the dead
Shrouded in myth
- the idle imbed

3. The Sleeping Beauty

[originally by Tiamat]

Alone I sit, I wonder why
You dream of love and so do I
But in your sleep you cannot see
This pain which is always haunting me
What I need I'll never feel
This world is for me unreal
So I drink to darkness with a candle lit
And through the whole night alone I sit

The sleeping beauty
She stops the bleeding
She stops the bleeding in my soul
She is fresh air in this stinking world

The more I drink, the more I see
That suicide could be the key
To the place called paradise
Where pain not dwells, not hate nor lies
But if I look beyond all this
I reckon something I would surely miss
Because in my dreams I rule my life
And the sleeping beauty is my wife

The sleeping beauty
She stops the bleeding
She stops the bleeding in my soul
She is fresh air in this stinking world
