Welcome into my empty mind
to the ruins of old times
see what once was but is no more
Dreamspace of what should last upon
but the dreamers were failing
it was destroyed all to the core
I am the last, keeper of the past
holder of the ancient knowledge
and I have been left back until time is no more
I am the last, keeper of the past
holder of the ancient knowledge
and I have been left back until time is no more
I guard the ruins once fair as sunrise
now this Kingdom is forsaken
My story is a sad one
I could not leave this place
the others are all long gone
I've existed in this realm
this forsaken kingdom
with beauty and love gone
Still I must call it my home
secrets of unkind destiny
the echoes in these halls
the echoes in these halls
still roam on and on
on and on
I hold the past within my heart
the reasons it went wrong
find all your answers for yourself
I am spellbound to these halls
protector of these walls
though they're only empty shells
I am the last, keeper of the past
holder of the ancient knowledge
and I have been left back until time is no more
I guard the ruins once fair as sunrise
now this Kingdom is forsaken
My story is a sad one
I could not leave this place
the others are all long gone
I've existed in this realm
this forsaken kingdom
with beauty and love gone
Still I must call it my home
secrets of unkind destiny
the echoes in these halls
the echoes in these halls
still roam on and on
on and on
(guitar solo)
Still I must call it my home
secrets of unkind destiny
the echoes in these halls
the echoes in these halls
still roam on and on
on and on
Welcome into my empty mind
to the ruins of old times
see what once was but is no more
03. MELANCHOLY BEAST
Words & music by M. Kammeyer
Skin of thorns
a breath of fire
no life comes near it
none feels it's desire
A longing for something
to ease the loneliness
in these deep enchanted woods
it feeds on emptiness
Who hears you, who sees you
only those who you infect with fear
no equals, a darker part of light
your only legacy was the pleasant shades of night
(chorus)
And now it's been to long
your cry of pain to someone
you are the melancholy beast of the woods
never have you felt at home
in the silent dark of your throne
you are the melancholy beast of the woods
Who hears your cry
who looks beneath
a twin born creature or a fellow soul
behold your queen
one of your kind
not of looks, but of what's kept inside
Who hears you, who sees you
only those who you infect with fear
across the ages you've waited patiently
oh and now she's here, a light so clear
(chorus)
And now it's been to long
your cry of pain to someone
you are the melancholy beast of the woods
never have you felt at home
in the silent dark of your throne
you are the melancholy beast of the woods
(Words spoken)
And the world held it's breath in enchantment
and the beauty and the beast within united
and the light and the dark were as one
and a new way of understanding was born
to the ruins of old times
see what once was but is no more
Dreamspace of what should last upon
but the dreamers were failing
it was destroyed all to the core
I am the last, keeper of the past
holder of the ancient knowledge
and I have been left back until time is no more
I am the last, keeper of the past
holder of the ancient knowledge
and I have been left back until time is no more
