Act I: Illusions of Peace

Eternal Melody Act I: Illusions of Peace

So calm, so peaceful
The rain
So deep, so hidden
The pain
Breaking away the memories of yesterday
Just the echoes of a day wasted and vain

To wish upon a better tomorrow
There is no lie, there is no hate
There is no reason to remember 

Like my dreams and desires I reflect my face 
Upon a window of a lonely place
Which the rain 
Ever so coldly takes them away

Fantasies of what I have been and what I wished to be
Memories of where I came and where I dreamed to be
With the twilight they fade
A peace not real, not eternal

Poisoned mind by the doctrine of a dubious truth

The mirage of a life worth living 

I've got nothing to love
If there is nothing to die for 

It is no life at all

I've worked day and night 
To bring upon some sustain
Amidst the cold city I know even an undying will may fade
Bring me an angel or my life I will surrender

To these Illusions of peace
Of the forgotten notes in a piano forte
To the demons of the past and truth
The puppet I’ve become
So shallow and crude

A lullaby to my dreams
As I walk through the buzzing yet soulless streets
Where I can please my flesh and poison my soul
A life worth living this is not, but is the only life I’ve got

To find solace in the flesh
To fill my lack of love with lust
To embrace the lies as truth
And this chaos as peace

But I know that death may soon be near
And a muse I’m yet to hear 
It’s not love I fear
But the reality that has brought me here

To compose empty words with blightful ink
And to call rhetoric a friend
To the soothing glow of the lights
May they shine on a forgotten man

To the spirits of the bottle I cry

To the poison in my veins I drown

But I hear a whisper, and a sound remains

Invites me to descend until I lose all light

 

I see her face and in her eyes a look I’ve never seen

She says she’s a lost soul like me

And in her beauty as bask my fears

Until the night comes and with her a melody fades
