"Beauty Of The Beast" lyrics

Beauty Of The Beast

Trees have dropped their leaves
Clouds their waters
All this burden is killing me
Distance is covering your way
Tears your memory
All this beauty is killing me

Oh, do you care
I still feel for you
Oh, so aware
What should be lost is there

I fear I will never
Never find anyone
I know my greatest pain
Is yet to come
Will we find each other
In the dark
My long lost love

Oh, do you care
I still feel for you
Oh, so aware
What should be lost is there

Oh, do you care
I still feel for you
Oh, so aware
What should be lost is there

Oh, do you care
I still feel for you
Oh, so aware
What should be lost is there

Safely away from the world
In a dream, timeless domain
A child, dreamy eyed
Mother's mirror, father's pride

I wish I could come back to you
Once again feel the rain
Falling inside me
Cleaning all that I've become

My home is far
But the rest it lies so close
With my long lost love
Under the black rose
You told I had
The eyes of the wolf
Search them and find
The beauty of the beast

All of my songs
Can only be composed
Of the greatest of pains
Every single verse
Can only be born
Of the greatest of wishes
I wish I had one more night to live

A saint blessed me, drank me deeply
Spitting out the misery in me
Still a sinner rapes a thousand saints
Sharing the same hell with me

Sanest choice in this insane world
Beware the beast
But enjoy the feast he offers

Sanest choice in this insane world
Beware the beast
But enjoy the feast he offers

All of my songs
Can only be composed
Of the greatest of pains
Every single verse
Can only be born
Of the greatest of wishes
I wish I had one more night to live

"Oh, sweet Christabel
Share with me your poem
For I know now
I'm a puppet on this silent stage show
I'm but a poet who failed his best play
A dead boy, who failed to write an ending
To each of his poems"
