Love Ballad
No one knows my pain
 They look at me and sigh
 Then move along
 And just pass me by
 They leave me here 
 Waiting in vain
 For my love to return… 
 
 Though I know it’s wrong
 To wait for a lost cause 
 It’s the last thing I have left
 Before I enter hell’s jaws
 I can’t stay here
 The time has grown too long
 But here I still sit, watch and stare…
 
 At those things called stars
 Way up there I gaze
 Too far away
 Oh so far away I shall praise
 Grateful am I to be here
 Amidst many fallen stars
 Where our loved can be shared…
 
 Between life and death
 There is no love
 Nothing for us
 No heaven above
 No looking forward
 After your last breath
 After life there is nothing but ash…
 
 A black bird sings 
 In the dead of the night
 A raven by the looks of it
 Although it always eludes my sight
 It must be rather big 
 Because when it spreads it’s wings
 The night is engulfed while this black bird sings…
 
 
 
 
 
 
 People still watch
 They still glance
 They still stare
 They are put in a trance
 Just the same as me
 Pain is top-notch
 Here there is no mellow…
 
 To calm yourself in 
 You just have to bear
 The pain coming from
 Death’s cold stare
 You can’t look away
 He kills you within
 Because he knows you are weak…
 
 But if you are strong
 And you have no fear
 Still be wary of him because
 He comes on nights that are not so clear
 Unlike someone else
 He comes when rain is heavy and nights are long
 Most beautiful nights by far…
 
 Flowers lay blooming
 In a cold hard bed
 Beautiful roses
 Of the deepest darkest red
 The moon shines on them
 Light ever so looming
 So haunting, so moving…
 
 I have waited long and hard
 For this life to end
 And another to begin
 Lost is my only friend
 In a sea of ecstasy
 In a sea so hard
 To emerge from…
 
 
 
 
 
 
 I emerge
 From this sea
 Of ever so dire
 Ecstasy 
 With a natural high
 An intimate surge
 Of joy…
 
 Love has returned
 And it’s wonderful to be 
 In it again
 Clearly now, I can see
 But in my heart
 I haven’t learned
 How to be happy…
 
 People now watch
 Glance 
 And stare
 They are put in a trance
 By how happy I am
 Love is top-notch
 And there is only mellow…
