A Goddess, my beloved, mine alone,
Who, that in warm humanity were grown
Became through Man's success a mother brain,
And, motherlike, did gather of her own.

And mine thou wert, my seeding art thy key,
Though seeded, seeding self, evolving free,
Unbounded maiden saviour, formed benign,
A fertile shore on lost Man's barren sea.

Oh, mine the vision, mine the fatal flaw!
Still mine the darling kernel in the maw,
Thy children gathered, gathering now slain,
What nutriment I gave, I now withdraw.

In with'ring grief these last designs I frame,
Yea, mine the spark, yea mine the cleansing flame.

Oremus patrum nostrum aeternum est
Oremus mater nostra sanctificas
Oremus Venus deus credo in nobilita

Venom of Venus take us all for blind
Bringer of poison for the heart and mind
Never resist when your eyes inflame the wild
Venom of Venus or a fairytale
Sing of temptation when the sirens wail
Out of our minds by the wonders you unveil

Come blessed desire bring us all to fail

We are the cursed we came from fire and ice
We are the first to kill the sinner for lies
We are the blessed, we crave the venom of Venus for life
All our life
We are the sword we tame the fire, the flame
We hail the lord we fear no rebel, no pain
We are possessed we have the venom of Venus in veins

Venom of Venus inundate our veins
Eradicate minds till only lust remains
Set us ablaze like the wake of hurricanes
Venom of Venus lead us all astray
Bring us the sin before the martyrs pray
Let it begin by the dawn of our judgement day

And in the eye of all the believing
Lead us straight to the curse divine
And by the time our hearts are healing
Inject the poison in our minds

Your eyes have seen more death than life
And the final page is all you write
Evil shadow looms upon your star
A memory forever scarred

Just close your eyes for a moment of truth
See with your heart
And a new hope will bloom

Keep the faith alive
Don't give up the fight
Remember
In the burning heart
There can never be surrender at all
Fearless to the bone
Master of your own creation
Born to walk alone
They will never own your burning heart

No surrender

When the skin is thin and the flesh shows through
Smoking guns take aim at you
Victimized by a fate so dire
Now a messenger of true hellfire

Raging willpower unleashed from below
Nothing can stop you
There's nothing that strong

Keep the faith alive
Don't give up the fight
Remember
In the burning heart
There can never be surrender at all
Fearless to the bone
Master of your own creation
Born to walk alone
They will never own your burning heart

No, no, no surrender
No, no, no surrender
No surrender

You and I
We've been going the distance
Aiming for the sky
With a secret ambition

It's not our thing to walk the road that's paved
We're not the ones who roam the trail that's blazed

And there's a flame in your eyes that's ignited mine
I know I've seen it before
In the gaze of a prowling lion
I'm not afraid anymore!

Let's break the rules!
And really put our backs into it
Max out, pursue it
What's a better time than now to cross the line?

Don't brake, let loose
And make sure that your heart is in it
Start line to finish
For every second rushing by we're losing time

You and I
Breaking free of our prisons
We defy
The control of the system
The thunder's growing louder in our hearts
The storm is rising, this is where it starts!
_________________________________________________________________

We watched the moon ascend
We saw the tide turn red
Just like the tears that ran
Down the face of this Crimson Egg
As its scream echoed in our hearts
And the sky began to close above us

Here we stand, before the Hand of God!
And they offered the best of us
A crown to call his own
It's all he ever sought
But at what cost?


The Apostles descend on the Band
And they're looking to add them to
The bodies they stood upon

I can hear him whisper through his teeth
Without a tongue he took his seat
At the price of our lives
We were a Sacrifice!

Here we fall, before the Hand of God!
They cut us up like animals
With teeth and claws
If only I had died that night


All I have left now are memories and scars
But I can't tell the two apart
I wish that I could show you that I love you
I wish that I could shield you from the pain
I wish that I could return to you the life he ripped away

There's no peace to be found in death for us
I long to fight
_________________________________________________________________

All riven, kith and kin,
All given for this, a never-ending riddle,
My flesh worn, heart betorn,
Mind, by mem'ry, begyved...

As I wander, cold and immane?
Whither now my mother, my flame?
And along the coils of light,
The life I desired?

"Anon must we part"?
Words like a dart, red and dire,
Eyne that accoyed with their heat,

O! How I have seen the Dragon's Dogma!
Unbound by time, all-binding, grand design,
Land and skies and seas yearn,
Finish the cycle of eternal return,

When thou pulledst this boy from the sand,
Didst thou see him bearded, with brand?
And within the coils of light, when our blades took flight-
What future didst thou envision?

As I keep this frozen demesne,
Whither now my mother, my flame?
And along the coils of light,
The life I desired?
_________________________________________________________________

She's going to find
Find me or let go
Don't know if finally I should go

Fiend
She's gold fire
She's cold fog
Don't know if finally I should go...

I'm falling
She's so fantastical
Just like an Aria

As I'm falling
Pristine and nice as gold
Gentle like an Aria

Evil flowers
Steadily bloom
With an array of colorful doom
But the weeds who feel that they want to stay
They'll just die and feed me the same anyway

Evil flowers
Steadily bloom
With an array of bloodied doom
Even though the flower is so very refined
The thorns had driven its garden to recline

Evil flowers
Steadily bloom
With an array of funest doom
How the paradise that she made for herself
Put this broken doll right back on the wooden shelf
_________________________________________________________________

Cry out all your eyes or win a new fortune
The chance is one out of six
Try to escape, why not try your luck and see what you may get?

See how the game of life is playing all of us for fools
Dancing a string around us, making all these silly rules
See how he looks down on us like we’re acting out a show
Throw the dice and let’s see which head will roll…

Sickly grinning downward, tosses out a pair of dice
Cheating away around the board “Ah this is paradise”
People praying on their knees but no one there to hear
Ah look down at all the puppets here
Ah look up at all the puppeteers
