[January 1997]

Alone again
Again I am desolate Again I am left forever
Again I weep in pain
O it's my sigh
It is the sigh I take again
Will this survive? Survive to see the daylight
Never shall I
Never shall I again, see the sight of the ones,
The ones who once left me behind
Fortress Of solitude
Let us merge together
In Solitude For solitude, in solitude
My character is now a tragedy
A tragedy forever to be
My existence is now a strain
Slowly it arises, the urge
An urge to fly away, into the skies of silence
Amber roads, going places, emptiness is just a dream
Echoes saying everything fill within
As cold winds rape a lonely tree
And here I sit in somberness
Draped in a thick mist called thought
And grasping me, and my imagination,
Are these everlasting chains of despair?
And black clouds of sadness, hang over the fortress
Waiting for me to again be free
So that they can rain their tragedy, all over the years
And O how I wish, that I could, I will,
Embrace these skies if time wishes me to
Never again
And the pain persists me
Shall I pay for all I have?
Pay for what all was not mine
Indebt me in sorrow
Solitude stays, for it is a temple, a temple forever
Never shall we be loved
And amongst the many thoughts, the thoughts that became pregnant
A question will always arise
Fortress Of solitude
Let us merge together
In Solitude For solitude, in solitude

I can feel my self to be descanting,
Descanting my soul to rise
To be seen inside of me, is merely a thought of thee
A vivid expression is seen,
And the broken promise shall be
Amber roads, going places, emptiness is just a dream
Echoes saying everything fill within
As cold winds rape a lonely tree
