SOB lyrics

While We Mourn

wandering soul, my spirit broken
like frail bones, no moonlight shines
dark velvet skies descend apon me now
no strength to fight. all alone
give me, the courage to fail
to live without love, and die without hope
its so lonely here at the end of my world
This gloam brings no releif, biding my time.
I lament my defeat, and the wind whispers softly
in my ear, all life must cease, surrender your fear
As I sift through the ash, in silence this day
Mortaly drained I wither and frey
Give me the courage to die, to leave all I've loved behind
let all that i've lived be as a dream
give me the courage to die, let all I've lived be as a dream
Take me down
My heart is heavy with sin
Devour my pain
I rot within my skin
a king without his crown
take me down
Sleep be of your dreams, sleep while we mourn
fall, fall to your knees, pray for the dawn
We are here, biding time, all life must cease
Condemned to eternal, seasons of grey
I sift through the ashes in silence this day
forgotten by time and all mortal thought
A glutton for hope and a price I must pay
I sift through the ashes in silence this day, this day, of grey, this day
The pain of life, is not worth living
When I fall unto the night, the dirt will sing to me, its sweet lulliby
Gasping my last breath, I'm silenced by the chill, that stills my flesh
so I die

Lyrics by Dan Robinson and Katie Bunting
 
A Rose For A Dying Muse
Smothered light fades slowly
Dreams they end, snow falling
headstones bleached with blackness
A mother's tear reminds us to celebrate the life that once lived.
And the poetry that spoke through his eyes
Celebrate the life that once lived.
Brave voyage through the dark awaking
Come Brothers Gather in mourning ...celebrate the life that once lived and the poetry that spoke through his eyes.
Shed a tear for all is not lost, our eyes have forgotten our souls they have not
Once again I fall towards the earth with a tear at my brow and a rose for the dying.
Hear me now though I am dying, please stay, hear my words.
Our time on earth has gone forever, though my thoughts of you remain.
Had I done something to change this, would you have stayed with me.
My arms are hurt but their not broken, I will carry you with me.
Solace laughs on a distant shore, while the rest of us fight the ripping tide.
In a sterile room with curtained gloom, you hovered over me hovering over you.
with crowded eyes and mustache that wasn't your own.
But those crooked teeth still made you smile immortal.
Be strong, don't fall I'll carry you there - burden.
gray skies gathered in your eyes forging on
my soul is braced against the hull of my craft.
so I prepare to sail towards the shore.
As winter dawns upon your heaven ,the lamb of God shall weep in waiting.
such grief for it seams that the weight of the lies down upon our shoulders.
Rise, Rise, Rise

Alone Beside Her
a last goodbye,with tears i cry
in cold septembers dawn
brave alone the mourning mist
time will not heal the love that we have lost
so long as i must wait fer the i shall
from the window i see her face,words cannot bring her back
i am not as strong as you,but such things yeild for mercy
and we could have gone forever,but you always were stronger
were you ever there for me as id lie alone beside you
helpless from myself,afraid of what i might become
this hideous journey through the black darkens me
the sheets still smell of her,a radiance of meusing desire
i thought i knew myself befor i met her
but now it seems that all i know is you
misery defeats me and regret finds me each day
lonliness empowering,with sympathy a slut and a lier
she wills me to die again and again and again
how sadly i saw the world,the day her eyes spoke the truth
her tiny imperfections magnify
a gamelon,a symphony of simple sounds
jestures in sequence,past lives crashing,falling
i tremble in the moments last touch
she was my last breath....
she was my last breath
 
An Empty Gaze
there's nothing left, my eyes have dried
the pain resides yet i have died
if i could speak, the words would hide
behind a veil of tainted pride
the smell of rain in autmn mourning
taste the salt in tears of yearning
ohh how that day i longed to be with you,
when you song of life was washed away
(i cant live without you, and i wont let you live without me)
be...in peace, my love...always
take me away with you
smell the rain in autmn mourning
taste the salt in tears of yearning
you took your innocence away
in the empty gaze i saw within your eyes
smell the flowers of life dwindle by as i wither away
through the darkness i reach for your hand in repent
feel the cold its so cold im alone all alone
how i long to be set from the burdens of shame
i utter your name with repent, i repent, i repent
 
Communion
Spread these snow like ashes before me
I stare through the cage at wasted moments in time
what I leave to this earth in such sorrow.
I seace to exist in your eyes. and it pains me to the brink of starvation
Leaving this life within pale tones of blue behind thine eyes, a shifting hue. Bleak trancient, cast onto oblivion, it pains me to the brink of starvation

Spread these snow like ashes before me (What I leave to this earth in such sorrow)
Watch them melt I end my life(broken glass in an empty room, shattered hearts in a vacant womb)
Spread these snow like ashes before me (Sonnet skies, poets die, bleak human suffering)
As my secrets slowly die (They died in my arms, has destiny forced my hand?)
What sorrow, is this, that I have never known
What pain is this, that haunts my very soul?
Beloved hope, I wane through what once was
Beloved self I wane through thee.
Turn away, do not see what I have become
Do not lie thine eyes apon me
Do not see what I have become
Staring back through hollowed eyes.
Condemning me to live within my lies.
Do not lie thine eyes apon me,
Do not see what I have become
Do not see what I have become
Your god has struck me down with his jagged wings,
and I frail at his hand
your god has, struck me down
I will leave unwilling to forget
Why have I forsaken the smile I never longed to see?
Why have I trapped myself, bound by the fear of my own faith?
This despair confines me, I find im exiled in a dream.
This body decieves me, I find I'm exiled in a dream.
Your body like ashes, left to haunt my mind.
Your ashes, before me, a burden carved unto my life.
Breathe, take what you must
inhale the pale stench of death.
Oceans part with forced attrition,
and I crash apon the open sea
 
I Cry
he fool stands before her tomb,yet bearing a frown and a rose.
he gathers alone,certain that the flower will serve as his mass.
wretched whore bind thine epitaph,for what once was,shall always be
discordance sooths the drowning bell,from funerals where flowers fell
a cold day bears all,but i smile for when i fall
and this scortching stone thats set before youre throne
has crowned our eyes with dirt...atoned
above me murals defiled by maddening hues
profanely etched on stellar walls...
insanity in utterance to his idol the king.
i cry.....
i walk amongst the putrid heavens
my gallery of futile hopes
i stand alone painting the sounds of my anguish
and the dirt be knee deep,tortured souls unite tonite
wretched whore by thine epitaph,enslave our eyes that bind
as melting frost we bleed,a crest of grey horizon burn
i do not weep for youre soul,for it hath been buried
 
The Absolution Of Sorrow
alas,my darling queen
we perish together forever
never again to be....
and now i fall forever
darkness,hollowness,emptyness
i have sank below the mire,below the dirt
my sorrow is certain,the destitution of my wake.
i cannot bear this loss this absolution
my presence is untimely, i dont belong here
i whisper into the darkness,like a mirror it reflects
once again that familiar feeling of hopelesness
conquering...
i hear the deafining silence of eternity
my heart beats fast,
the dizzing nausia beats down apon my chest
and with these words i say goodbye
farewell too all, alas my darlings, i fall
the deepest yearning for an ending,far greater than my life
symphonies depict the sorrow behind my eyes a requiem
vast with emptiness a painting within the skies
i feel the darkness fade i close my eyes
 
The Forever Dance
Ohh,how i remember that night when we danced to the music without notes.
the music within our hearts the music of joy of love of life.
and how we stared unto each other, that timeless gaze two lovers share.
i will never forget the dance we shared. dancing together forever we dance
a thought,a dream,then nothing.
in that brief time we built an eternity
a thought a dream then nothing
blinded by that moonlight glare
the timeless gaze two lovers share
i cant describe the brilliant shine your eyes reflect when drawn to mine
a thought a dream of nothing
remember the moonlight we basked in that night
the beauty,the mountains illuminate light
remember the storm and the thoughts that remain
together we danced like two fools in the rain
i weep for a god thats punishing
unjust god,I've all but died for you
ive lost all the shards of sanity
im blessed with ,this hollow fantasy
 
Willowsoul
sweet like honey on your lips, i taste deaths kiss
awakened from a dream,these premonitions bleed
to sleep eternally,to rest in peace
forever and again,a place of no return
your throne of empathy reads my name
forgotten and erased, mortality foetaste
noble land of kings,high above the mountains peak
can you see forever,the lush green shroud of the willows bole
can you see the grace,stretched beyond the sunlit hills
can you hear forever,the bray of raindrops falling down
shackled mortal shell,how i long to be set free
come with me my sweet,dance beneath my willowsoul
poem: cold are the nights i cannot sleep
thinking of my love.....
the nights we spent together...
no music sweeter than youre tongue,a flame that held no word of cruelty
my death torments my heart,it cannot be that were apart
these arrows in their cruel flight,drive sleep from every bitter night
but im there,just beyond the veil.
its not enough its not enough!
noble land of kings,high above the mountains peak
can you see forever,the lush green shroud of the willows bole
can you see the grace,stretched beyond our sunlit hills
now we can hear forever,the bray of raindrops falling down
shackled mortal shell,we embrace forever more
fly with me my sweet,dance inside our willowsoul
 
Alone Beside Her
(note: this is done from memory and by ear so it may be a bit innacurate)
Alone beside her I lie
wishing she was mocha
It would actually be cheaper to hire a maid
than buy a medium mocha at dunkin
that is why there are orange peels in the sink
IN THE SINK!
Maybe they well ferment
I could sell the run off as orange liquer
maybe buy me some mocha
probably only a thimble though

Oh Dunkin why did you betray me?
Oh Dunkin why is it 11.95 for a frickin medium?
My kidneys are gone sold to the keeper of the river styx
for I need my MOCHAAAAAAAAAA MOCHAAAAAAAAA MOCHAAAAAAAAAAA
MOCHAAAAAAAAAA MOCHAAAAAAAAA MOCHAAAAAAAAAAA
MOCHAAAAAAAAAA MOCHAAAAAAAAA MOCHAAAAAAAAAAA
MOCHAAAAAAAAAA MOCHAAAAAAAAA MOCHAAAAAAAAAAA
MOCHAAAAAAAAAA MOCHAAAAAAAAA MOCHAAAAAAAAAAA
MOCHAAAAAAAAAA MOCHAAAAAAAAA MOCHAAAAAAAAAAA
MOCHAAAAAAAAAA MOCHAAAAAAAAA MOCHAAAAAAAAAAA
MOCHAAAAAAAAAA MOCHAAAAAAAAA MOCHAAAAAAAAAAA
MOCHAAAAAAAAAA MOCHAAAAAAAAA MOCHAAAAAAAAAAA
MOCHAAAAAAAAAA MOCHAAAAAAAAA MOCHAAAAAAAAAAA
MOCHAAAAAAAAAA MOCHAAAAAAAAA MOCHAAAAAAAAAAA
MOCHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
then there's some sort of harpsicord solo based off the Dukes of Hazard theme
 
The Fool's Lament 1996 Dan Robinson/Cindy Murphy

Join each other's mock, you cannot help but laugh.
Empty crowns adorned thine kings and queens forlorned

Come easy, go crazy, I've got you in my hand
Stop crying, start flying, we'll skate apon the sand

A servant for the world to see.
But you are not the one it's me
I dance the dance, the fool the jesters dance.

How does it feel to be, the one whom all do mock?
forever scorned by shame, I cannot bare the pain.
The pity of mankind rests firmly apon my back
I have no life left to give, or will to find my way

Helplessness rules my name, hopelessness rules my life

How can it be, this life that you live will never be with me?
Hide from their eyes my fool I will shelter you behind my eyes.
Dont you know, or see what I have done to you is better me
Foolish boy, alone in the rain you'll cry in misery

Dragged by the pain like a puppet you dance to the strings sad melody
Weep in the rain, see the fool drown in sorrow, you will never win my game.....

Showers of rain falling down.
Can you hear the pain?
Can you see, how they laugh?
...Better you than me.

Croutched on a coble stone wall, a fool for all to see.
The tears dance down my brow to the tune my sorrows play.
I cannot feel the rain, Ive seen my life decay
Inside I yearn to be, free from you and the pain.

Helplessness rules my name, hoplessness rules my life.
 
Must It Be 1995 Dan Robinson

Rejoice tonight, it has to be.

it's so cold, inside my heart
The dying light bereaved forever.
The answerer is the end
and only you, can ease my suffering

How can I live without, in the twilight skies I scream your name
but alone im left again, I canont live without you.

Memories of the past forever haunt me, how can I stop this pain?

How amusing it must be for you.
how is it that you get so much pleasure from all my suffering?

Now a burning sea shall grow inside of me
drowned Im pulled benieth, how can I believe
deep withing your eyes shines a part of me
you've betrayed my heart, why must this be?

beyond the stars, beyond the flame
before my time, beyond my life

Why?

I never will forget, the pain that you've shown to me
As dying flowers rot, our love withers helplessly
To hold your heart in mine, I gaze into lifeless eyes
The greiving process starts, as our time on this Earth now ends.

I loved you.....
 
An Unfamiliar Embrace 2000/2010
(Music Robinson Lyrics Robinson/Faith)

Stranded.... amongst this crashing reef.
Distance seperates. An unfamiliar embrace,
haunting...longing only for you
Ive dreampt a thousand dreams, but I sleep a dreamless sleep

longing for you, bleeding for you
I dreampt of you again, you've toutched my face

These tears I cry, belong to you.

These tears I shed now belong only to you,
and ohh how I suffer on without your touch.

I am but a ghost in shared space,
a crack apon your window pane.
I cannot fall into this saddness... So I'll set you free

My body aches .... with longing
An unquentchable hurt Ive felt like no other.


Sing with me love, under the night skies.
Let your soul walk with me....
Gazing at startlight I still see you there.
Sleepless nights lost in dreams.

Is this how you've left me?
why why? tell me.....
laughing, cold misery
Ohh, tell me...
I believe!

My body bleeds, I'm yearning
An unquentchable pain We've had like no other

Longing for you.....
Bleeding for you.....
