Eros - Xaon

From shattered dreams and wondrous spells, a light quivers in a faint glow

A dying heart in briny tears caught in the profound undertow

What once shined bright, so radiant, a purpose dragged into the mud

I see scorched paintings of burning citadels causing death amongst angels

Dreams foregone

Turning into stone

I believed in fantasies achieved

Oh Eros

Leave me lost before the animus

Today I saw a sparrow, a beam of light in the shade

If I had wings I’d cut them off and build a cross for my grave

I’d prowl the masses screeching hoisting a banner of shame

And cut this fallacy of life thrown in chaotic waves

Dreams foregone

Turning into stone

I believed in fantasies achieved

Oh Eros

Leave me lost before the animus

Paint the world in flames

Set your soul ablaze

And finally unleash this rage

I received this tormenting deceit

Oh Eros

Leave me dead before the animus

Eros

Celestial body blazing through the sky

Eros

A memory of aeons left behind

Eros

A shattered mirror in front of my eyes

Eros

A failed attempt to let the past die

Eros

Ashy silk cascading down your dress

Eros

Deceiving eyes that couldn’t care less

Eros

A finger pressed against your lips

Eros

Words create the apocalypse

Eros

The black coach of sorrow has taken me away

Eros

Into the starless night’s archway

Eros

A dead and buried memory

Eros

How could you abandon me
