In the dark universe
Glittered with pieces of you
Shimmering self-reflections
And deepest truth comes in to view
Beyond despondence and despair
Embrace the inner abyss
Peering into the reflective pool
Swimming deep in her kiss
Explode into a million stars
And glimpse beyond oblivion
The spirit mirror awaits you
In the cave of obsidian
In the dark universe
Glimmering with pieces of you
Shimmering self-reflections
And deepest truth comes in to view
Explode into a million stars
Bare your soul so stygian
The spirit mirror reveals all
In the black depths of obsidian
Beyond despondence and despair
Embrace the inner abyss
Peering into the reflective pool
Swimming deep in her kiss
Obsidian eyes, obsidian hair
Obsidian mouth, obsidian lair
Obsidian sky, obsidian sphere
Obsidian wings, obsidian tears

An Echo in Time

Standing on the edge
Wings stretched towards the sky
The final act performed
Without warning or goodbye
Your torment has ended
Though mine has just begun
What is left to decide
What to keep, what to hide
Pieces of you
Remnants of a life lived
You were real
You were not imagined
I remember you
And the life you left
Stains of memories remain
Like an echo in time
You stepped off the edge
Made your choice to fly
And rip my heart apart
In the blink of an eye
Your agony has ended
Though mine has just begun
What is left to decide
What to keep, what to hide
Pieces of you
Remnants of a life lived
You were real
You were not imagined
I remember you and the life you left
Stains of memories remain
Like an echo in time
Like an echo in time
Objects of reminiscence
What you left behind, the evidence
Memories of you are my inheritance

Brilliant wings of dragon fire
And saffron gold
Brilliant wings that gleamed
Revealing the light manifold
The flames consumed you
As the fire sparked a passage through night
A passage through night
Passage through night
The embers of your being glow still
Born anew from these sacred cinders
Arise and reawaken
To reflect on these remains
Anointed with myrrh and honey
Enshrined and seen from above
Seen from above
Seen from above
Reborn, renewed
Flying to the sun
Vigorous and spirited
Metamorphosis is won
Death is rebirth
In the fires of transformation

Lair of the Undying
06:55
|
|||
|
Fluttering through the darkened sky
Such delicate beauty therein lies
Come to rest behind closed lids
Where sleeps the majestic eye
The majestic eye
As you fly through the portal of indigo dreams
Illuminating the mystic realm in between
Where all creatures go to die
And be reborn and yet unseen
And yet unseen
Take flight and embrace the night
Take flight through the realm of twilight
Take flight
Take flight and embrace the night
Take flight through the pale moonlight

Gaze through veiled screen
Scry finely woven dream
Dewy lashes impress upon
A tear-stained melodic theme
Ambrosial scented pain
When we dance, when we reign
Unwrap this earthly plane
When we meet again
Door opens my friend
Shadows dance, we blend
Light becomes dark
A chrysalis, a mark
Gaze through veiled screen
Scry finely woven dream
Dewy lashed impress upon
A tear-stained melodic theme
A tear-stained
A tear-stained melodic theme
Unwrap, unearth, unchain
Untie this heart-string so arcane

Rise and Fall, Devour, Dissolve
Rise and Fall, Devour, Dissolve
Beyond our mortal sight
There lies an otherworldly light
The cosmic serpent dances through
The pillars of creation
Beyond our mortal sight
There lies an otherworldly light
Prophetic priestess' keen sight
Of our spirit in the endless night
Rise and fall, devour, dissolve
Rise and fall, devour, dissolve
Sifting through the sands of time
New stars emerge, unfold, and shine
The serpent bearer takes hold
Grasping at truths untold
A cycle is ending, a new skin revealed
A cycle is ending, a new skin revealed
Rise and fall, devour, dissolve
Dissolve, Dissolve, Dissolve
Dissolve, Dissolve

The Palace of Tears New Orleans, Louisiana
"With a haunting allure, The Palace of Tears artfully combines entrancing electronics, intricate guitar work, and deep, operatic vocals to produce a sound that seems to defy time itself. This duo’s signature blend draws from black metal, gothic rock, ambient drone, and more, all enveloped in a richly cinematic atmosphere." -- Alice Teeple ... more

Love those Peter Hook/Simon Gallup like bass lines. Vocals are eerie and wonderful.

Melissa Harris’s shadowy synthpop is carefully crafted and delightfully catchy, gems that reflect darkness and light in equal measure.
