1.The Anatomy Of Melancholy
作詞：Matthew Ervin
forlorn, forgotten
naked, cold
all alone, although I know
you will not cry
all of life
in deep, dark, murky water
let me drown
slowly, peacefully, proudly
in pearl, weed, coral and stone
lie me down
sleeping, always, eternal
all of lifes sorrow
lay my body in sea-lace and sandstone
cloaked within this blue shroud
solemn, silent
all of lifes sorrow
2.Haunted
作詞：Matthew Ervin
lost in lands of shadow
in times of sorrow
I am waiting
waiting for tomorrow
tomorrow never comes
the day is broken
broken by the night
and the night is forever
haunts me like a promise broken
like a secret still unspoken
sorrow like a lover near me
whispers that he will never leave me
like the wind
3.Les Portes Du Ceil (The Gates Of Heaven)
作詞：Matthew Ervin
please take me to heaven
in a black and white dream
we will drift on clouds of ivory
on a smoking air stream
and then we will float away
please take me to heaven
on heroic glass wings
we will float beside the angels
and cut the stars from their strings
and then the night will fade
please take me to heaven
on a promise you will keep
we will make a bed of wishing
in a garden of sleep
and then come what may
please take me to heaven
in a blanket of night
we will keep our bodies warm
and let our shadows take flight
and we will be on our way
please take me to heaven
on a kiss with closed eyes
we will walk between the spaces
of the air and the skies
until the light of day
please take me to heaven
in the warmth of your arms
we will swim in seas of touching
and we will drown in its charms
and we will forever stay
4.The Thistle In The Kiss
作詞：Matthew Ervin
your kiss
is as, you would imagine is,
soft as flower petals
cold as razor blades
your kiss
when you press your lips
it peels the wrist from my skin
it turns my outsides in
how can I hope to resist
how do I without it exist
days and nights and dreams
are sacrificed to just this
oh, how I miss
your kiss
is so delicious
still as April twilight
white as arsenic
your kiss
when you close your eyes
it forces tighter mine
it hollows me inside
your kiss
in so deliberate
shards and slivers
is breaking in tiny pieces, me
bit by bit (so sad) so fragile me
piece by piece (so sad) so brittle me
kiss by kiss (so sad) so empty me
bit by bit (so sad) in tiny pieces me
your kiss
is so irresistible
so very serious
a calculated risk
your kiss
your mouth, your lips
with such precision tearing
in tiny pieces, me
how do I hope to resist
how do I without it exist
days and nights and dreams
are sacrificed to just this
oh, how I miss
5.When I'm Broken
作詞：Matthew Ervin
a wilting rose
the dying day
my darkest hour
thunder and rain
a candle glows
lighting my way
lament and mourn
cry out in vain (X2)
red by night, black by day
a bleeding heart, a child at play
a spiders web, the gilded cage
in shady gloom, the silent rage
when I am lonely
and I keep the world at bay
with you only
I can wish it all away
and when I am broken
dont put me on a shelf
or cast adrift
please dont leave me by myself
am I asleep, is this a dream？
or is it real, just as it seems
I cannot believe, how can it be？
when I dont bleed, when I cant scream
scarce are made
a garden gray
reeds and stalks
stone and clay
the winter wind
whispers my name
then echoing
cries out in vain (X2)
seasons of mist, the morning dew
the midnight storm and thoughts of you
the barren fields, thickets and thorn
bristles my skin, bruises my soul
when I am lonely
and I keep the world at bay
with you only
I can wish it all away
and when I am broken
dont put me on a shelf
or cast adrift
please dont leave me by myself
am I asleep, is this a dream？
or is it real, just as it seems
I cannot believe, how can it be？
when I dont bleed, when I cant scream
6.I Wear Your Ring
作詞：Matthew Ervin
in the empire of the one-eyed King
behind the iron gates of sleep
beyond the reach
of all loss and longing
of all my suffering
in the kingdom of the melancholy
I keen for thee this melody
waiting for your
bell to call me
for you to summon me
keeper of dreams
I wear your ring
with quiet tears I emplore thee
it is with you I long to be
in the empire of the one-eyed King
behind the veils of tears I weep
beneath the swell
of voices singing
of voices yearning
in the sorrow of his majesty
I pray upon my rosary
wishing for your
arms around me
for you to comfort me
keeper of dreams
I wear your ring
with quiet tears I emplore thee
it is with you I long to be
7.I Wear Your Ring (Remix)
作詞：Matthew Ervin
in the empire of the one-eyed King
behind the iron gates of sleep
beyond the reach
of all loss and longing
of all my suffering
in the kingdom of the melancholy
I keen for thee this melody
waiting for your
bell to call me
for you to summon me
keeper of dreams
I wear your ring
with quiet tears I emplore thee
it is with you I long to be
in the empire of the one-eyed King
behind the veils of tears I weep
beneath the swell
of voices singing
of voices yearning
in the sorrow of his majesty
I pray upon my rosary
wishing for your
arms around me
for you to comfort me
keeper of dreams
I wear your ring
with quiet tears I emplore thee
it is with you I long to be
8.Breathing Farewell's Sigh
作詞：Matthew Ervin
tender twilight
a little like July
drifting idly by
grey clouds smear the sky
there is rain inside of my lullaby
telling me not to cry
breathing farewell's sigh
kissing me good-bye
the raindrops falling from on-high
as the grief streams from my eyes
the tears they crystalize
why can't I
leave it all behind
it's forever on my mind
will this be the last time？
darker, dire
is it despair or desire
taking all that is mine
love is in disguise
hiding in your smile
if only you or I...
is their nothing left to try？
is their never knowing why？
I am terrified
raindrops falling from on-high
there is rain inside of my lullaby
kissing me good-bye
why can't I
leave it all behind？
it's forever on my mind
will this be the last time？
9.Floatful
作詞：Matthew Ervin
will you still notice
when I close myself down
with my leaves wilting
with my petals brown, again
will you still
will you, please
dont look away
dont walk passed
dont walk passed
when I call out
when I am shivering-sad
when I am broken-hearted
will you hold my hand？
when I wander
when I lose my way
when I falter
will you still be there？
when I feel as I do
will you feel the same？
will you still see me
when all around
the rushes grow green
and the blossoms are crowned？
will you still
will you, please
dont look away
dont walk passed
dont walk passed
when I go too far
when I pull away
when I break a promise
will you understand？
when the day is long
when the twilight shines
when the night is over
will you still be mine？
when I feel as I do
will you feel the same？
10.Frost At Midnight
作詞：Matthew Ervin
when you are with me
I feel alone
a candle burning
against the sun
I try to pull away
to try and reclaim
my indentity
my own name
so cold
when you are near
if only we never…
an icicle in December
so cold, so cold
the plume or the feather
the promise or lie
the bramble or heather
the do or die
I am lost to you
but I am found where
the horizon meets the sky
I lived for you
but I am bound
to let those feelings die
so cold
you must be near
not to feel
anything
or just to feel
something at all
since you have gone away
I still feel the same
with no one to hurt
no one to blame
so cold
without you here
why didnt we ever…
an icicle in December
so cold, so cold
11.Baby Blue
作詞：Matthew Ervin
as I gaze
I cannot decide
the calming waves
the tender tide
cool and blue the water
round and blue the sky
to which do we aspire？
should we swim,
or should we fly (x2)
we will let your kiss
for us decide
should we ride
the butterfly
stirring in the breeze
or drink the tears
the seahorse cries
softly from her cheeks
dare we climb
or merely cry
no promises
no wrong or right
on borrowed wings
of falcon flight
close and cold the waves
the sky so for and wide
from what is it we hide
should we swim
or should we fly (x2)
we will let your kiss
for us decide
should we ride
the butterfly
stirring in the breeze
or drink the tears
the seahorse cries
softly from her cheeks
dare we climb
or merely cry
12.Welcome Christmas
作詞：Matthew Ervin, Theodore Geisel

13.Long Slow Waves Of Colour
作詞：Matthew Ervin
underneath my eyelids
I can see the shape of a glowing light
and I smile, and I cry
the light it gleams of a perftect bright
and then it shifts to a soft, pale white
so precise, and it shines
it floats and climbs
then soars and winds
and spins its web over my eyes
falling like rain, never the same
with delight
with mirth and melody
gleeming bright
with myth and majesty
shimmering in long slow waves
the colors swirling all the many shades
of the sky, intertwined
the streaking rays of color bend
they push and twirl until they blend
into one and become
so small and frail
crimson and pale
and curls around its silver tail
the lights they shine in this my shrine
with delight
with mirth and melody
gleeming bright
with myth and majesty
ooh, the glimmering hue, so warm and so new
ooh, the pieces of blue, that open unto
glittering
blossoming
dividing
gliding-colliding
ooh, this beautiful view, so pure and so true
leaping up, soaring ever more
warm and close then beside of me go
darting down, dropping further
amber and rose in fading rows
and trailing off, downward float
and drift into a rippled arch they fall
14.Danse Macabre
作詞：Matthew Ervin
the bell tolls the tears of midnight's gloom
and opens the gates to twilight's tomb
the black sky above
and the darkness inside me
consoles me, so soothing
consumes me, so slowly
no light will shine
no shadows thrown
no mask will hide
no mercy shown
the sky tells the tale of endless doom
and opens the doorway unto the room
where our eyes our blind
to the portal opening
can't you see, me bleeding
misery, sustains me
no light will shine
no shadows thrown
no mask will hide
no mercy shown
the clock strikes the hour when darkness looms
and echoes the rise of shepherd moons
the gale flies over
and the raven is watching
he has seen me weeping
and holds me in his wings
the sky it grows darker still
the white mists rise over the hill
the forces stir, the storm will break
shattering through the night to wake
of wind and sea
of sand and stone
never to be
no mercy shown
so cold and gray
so cold and gray
15.Psalm Of The Cherubim
作詞：Matthew Ervin
in amongst the beautiful
morning veil of white light
in a moments passing
when we were both so young
in-between the empty spaces
of the unseen, unspoken, undone
intertwined with the mysteries
of the defied, defined, decided
innocence coiled inside shadows of doubt
intervals of silence and screams that cry out
my god, what have I become
cherub, teach me how to fly again
teach me the hymns that the clarions play
write down the words to the psalms they say
see me through this
suddenly gone from the sky
into the light blue horizon
beyond that of what we know
to be the limits end
islands of secret hope go unseen
gardens of reason wither and die
in a moment of weakness
we can behold, believe and belong
in a moment of strength
we can retreat, retrieve, release, repent
my god, what have I become
cherub, teach me how to fly again
teach me the hymns that the clarions play
write down the words to the psalms they say
see me through this
show me the way
16.Sol Invictus
作詞：Matthew Ervin
pilgrimage
has begun
through the passage
let us come
in your image
triumph come
(let your light shine down)
ascending
dark and dire
never ending
flood and fire
tempest burning
raging pyre
(let your light shine down)
sphere of our sorrow
hangs over sea and land
near where tomorrow's
shadow is cast in the sand
gold burning fire
mother of earth and sky
old hanging spire
poised and waiting on high
to thee we cry：
invocation
spirits rise up, come forth, reach out and fly
into the light
awaken and breath life, reveal to unto me
immortal soul
from the eternal deep, bring your light unto
eternity
from this deliver us, give us release
circle of fire
protector of the crown, you are the seer
undying sphere
expel all darkness down, exile all fear
more red than blood
forged in the temple of the Nephilim
oh rising sun
your burning blades of fire, your spears of light
blossoming white
oh monarch of the sky, to thee we cry!
17.Lament
作詞：Matthew Ervin
as dusk grows cold
and the sky comes forth,
echoes long and low
the piercing thorns of dawn
have now all gone away
bathe me in darkness
beneath thy veil
darker, darker
deep within： further, further
oh, dark night
hold me close
tight in your arms
don't leave me alone
plagued with doubt and woe
to you I've come alone
weary and worn with scorn
bathe me in darkness
beneath thy veil
darker, darker
deep within： further, further
as dawn blurs, unfurls and warms
and the sky opens once more
in its light, I am more alone
only to beckon again the night
and wait for day to darken and die
18.Within The Folds Of Angel Wings
作詞：Matthew Ervin
hear the distant, fallen angel
deep within your dreams
in your sleep they hear you calling
for dark stories long forgotten
within the folds of angel wings
are the keys to my heart
and the echoes of their sweet, stinging voices
are exhausted screams in flight
close your heart
hide your soul
they hear your cry
so still
deep within
19.Cuts Through The Skin (Down To The Bone)
作詞：Matthew Ervin
am I flesh
and am I bone
or am I made
of only sorrow
ashes in the dust
so long alone
exiled in my cage
like water in a stone
cuts through the skin
down to the bone
all of my days they are trances
all of my nights are but dreams
all that you see and believe
all that you whisper I scream
the fires glow
burning cold
too hot to hold
still I cant let go
the darkness grows
swelling slow
showing me the way
taking me home
cuts through the skin
down to the bone
all of my days they are trances
all of my nights are but dreams
all that you see and believe
all that you whisper I scream

O mio babbino caro,
mi piace è bello, bello;
vo andare in Porta Rossa

ma per buttarmi in Arno!
Mi struggo e mi tormento!
O Dio, vorrei morir!
Babbo, pietà , pietà !
Babbo, pietà , pietà !

Oh dear daddy
I love him, he is so handsome
I want to go to Porta Rossa

I would go to Ponte Vecchio

I fret and suffer torments
oh God, I would rather die

day and night
bruised and torn
broken down
31.The Days Of Wine And Roses
作詞：Matthew Ervin
they are not long

our path emerges for awhile
then closes within a dream

36.The Wings Of Night
作詞：Matthew Ervin
this night I kneel beside thee
you will breathe me in and set me free
out from your lips my soul will rise
and on the wings of night we will fly
faraway, forever more
as daylights embers pale and fade
and fall into midnights shade
I will sleep, sleep
sweet sleep
golden halo, carry me
in your warm glow
for all eternity
faraway, forever more
the circles of light spiral around me
lifting me up, turning slowly
the pieces of night
will never again be
leaving me lonely
tonight I lie with death my bride
and with her kiss my pain has died
with night my bed and death my sleep
with you my stone and I my wreath
faraway, forever more

38.The First Noel
作詞：Matthew Ervin, Johann Pachelbel
the first noel, the angels did say
was to certain poor shepherds in fields as they lay
in fields where they lay keeping their sheep
on a cold winters night that was so deep
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel
born is the king of Israel
they looked up and saw a star
shining in the east beyond them far
and to the earth it gave great light
and so it continued both day and night
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel
born is the king of Israel
and by the light of that same star
three wise men came from country far
to seek for a king was their intent
and to follow the star wherever it went
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel
born is the king of israel
this star drew nigh to the northwest
over Bethlehem it took its rest
and there it did both pause and stay
right over the place where Jesus lay
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel
born is the king of Israel
39.Silent Night
作詞：Matthew Ervin, Franz Gruber, Josef Mohr

all is calm, all is bright
round yon virgin, mother and child
holy infant so tender and mild

silent night, holy night
shepherds quake at the sight
glories stream from heaven afar
heavenly hosts sing Alleluia
Christ, the saviour is born
Christ, the saviour is born
silent night, holy night
son of God, love's pure light
radiant beams from thy holy face
with the dawn of redeeming grace
Jesus, Lord, at thy birth
Jesus, Lord, at thy birth
40.In The Bleak Midwinter
作詞：Matthew Ervin, Gustav Holst, Christina Rossetti
in the bleak midwinter
stormy winds may blow
earth stood hard as iron
water like a stone
snow had fallen snow on snow
snow, on snow, on snow
in the bleak midwinter
long, long ago
in the deep of winter
nestled in the cold
through icicles reflecting
take comfort and behold
snow is culling, hushed and lulled
loving hearts bestow
in the peak of winter
hold on a don't let go
in the bleak midwinter
stormy winds may blow
earth stood hard as iron
water like a stone
snow had fallen snow on snow
snow, on snow, on snow
in the bleak midwinter
long, long ago
41.Holly Leaves
作詞：Matthew Ervin
the snowflakes are dancing
stirring in Decembers breeze
spin drifting sideways
swirling high in spiraled steeps
catching stars and grooming wings
while winters breeze is whistling
(chorus)
holly leaves and mistletoe
a field asleep in falling snow
the half-light of a candle's glow
on the evergreen a crimson bough
the night it sparkles
glowing red and white
and you
42.Blue Dahlia
作詞：Matthew Ervin
the stars are hanging, shining brightly
the sky above me glows white
the tiny lights, flickering slowly
as if they were signaling me
the falling rain tenderly, gently
as though it were crying
the dew drops are beading, glisten, gleaming
the clouds are waving good-bye
the moon once hiding is rising early
the night has taken the sky
sometimes, if only it could be
once more, tomorrow
this time, if only just for me
awhile, tomorrow
remembering, still searching, deeming
as though only pretending
rendering, if only seeming
though only believing
these thoughts are fading, distant, fleeting
the past is blurring with time
voices faintly, quietly, merely
as if only seeming to be
still so clearly, peacefully, near me
though I know I am dreaming
the words I am hearing are closely guarding
those things of which no one speaks
the end we are nearing, sharing, fearing
the truths of all that we seek
belongside of everything I find
belongside of everything I hide
belongside of every reason why
belongside of every tear I cry
blue dahlia, blue dahlia
belongside me guarding, guiding
belongside me finally finding
blue dahlia, blue dahlia
belongside me outside, inside
blue dahlia
43.Maria
作詞：Matthew Ervin
Maria, my Maria
sit alongside me
Maria, sweet Maria
stay with me
why arent you
running to
the arms of God？
dont close your eyes
he will close them for you
dont give into
the things they say
dont give into
that dark place
where pain hides
Maria, my Maria
sit alongside me
Maria, sweet Maria
stay with me
44.The Mists Of Avalon (For Cheryl)
作詞：Matthew Ervin
deaf angel
lay your laurelled head down
on the forest blue
black bird sweeps low
circling long forgotten pools
silent shadows
of days gone by
fall from high above
light breaks the black haze
its beauty burns brightly
far up above
the forest jeweled crown
sways as you sleep
sleep wandering soul
your journey has come to an end
beneath veins of frost
six dew drops fall
the lush garden awaits your dream
the lush garden waits for your dream
deaf angel
lay your laurelled head down
on the forest blue
black bird sweeps low
circling long forgotten pools
45.Raven
作詞：Matthew Ervin
raised hedges in the wilting grass
stalks of broken straw
barren fields and broken glass
barbed wire fence
as day breaks, a white light
shines through the fog
the sunrise climbs higher
inside the sky
raven fly, come with me
and all the long flocks of black crows
their legions wait in counted rows
and with each day their numbers grow
wait here with me in their shadow
and when the north wind starts to blow
they will take their place and they will show
us all that they wish us to know
they will fill the sky, they will steal your soul
and as the locusts are swarming
you will hear their cry, you will feel their sting
and when the season turns to spring
the mighty raven spreads his wings
and you will hear the beacons sing
come and receive the gifts they bring
and in their claws our bodies cling
all through the skies their screams will ring
46.Winter Gardens
作詞：Matthew Ervin
peaceful dreaming in winter gardens
cold water gleaming in icy trees
angels swimming across the skies
starlights dimming against your eyes
flowers growing in perfect circles
cold winds blowing down the leaves
bird wings brushing the morning air
remembering blushing from your stare
rainwater falling in healing waves
distant winds calling me by my name
wordless singing from mornings dew
always bringing me home to you
47.Ethereal Gloom
作詞：Matthew Ervin
the funeral drum beats on
when all the feeling is gone
the curse that you have laid
these mortal hands have made
the burning sun will lie
against the shapeless sky
then buried in the sand
buried by your hands
we will stand in heavens fire
in flames, eternal flames
this doom, ethereal gloom
come into this cage, come into this rage
come into this fate, come into this hate
come into this room, come into this gloom
these mortal hands, this mortal skin
these mortal thoughts, this mortal sin
repeat it twice：
'your words my sacrifice'
and fall down on your knees
to cleanse of this disease
the breaking moments pass
your body is free at last
your spirit rises high
into the shapeless sky
48.Kiss Of The Succubus
作詞：Matthew Ervin
in the silence of my empty bed
I sleep with your voice and the things you said
but all of your words seem to lose their meaning
when I am left alone here dreaming
of all the dying cold, blue flowers
and all the lonely silent hours
I have spent without you here
in isolation and silent fear
in the corners of my empty heart
I keep your bones where your love held a part
and left to die, drowning slowly
like all the words that you once told me
about the sadness in your painted stare
I looked into it but found nothing there
except desire and your burning need
of desperation and selfless greed
in the stillness of my empty room
I see your ghost in a shrouded tomb
you lift your burning hands in the air
you fall to your knees in your despair
you cry in sorrow, you shout their names
but your dry tears are lost in the flames
and when it is over and your body dies
your pain is eternal and your left with your lies
49.I Still Hear Your Name
作詞：Matthew Ervin
in the thaw of coldest winter
rage the storms of my black spring
grows the thorns in my black garden
haunts me with your suffering
in the cold of deepest water
I will place the candles on your alter
I will drown my body beneath the waves
and swim to you into this grave
in the chains of cruelest silence
screams the pain of oldest violence
silencing the broken dream
muffling the dying scream
in the smoke of burning embers
rise the days that I remember
float the ways that came before
and brings me back to you once more
I still hear your name
(like an open grave)
50.Black Light
作詞：Matthew Ervin
in the black light
no shadows will fall
in the black light
is darkness made flesh
in the black light
screams become skin
in the black light
dreams become wings
in the black light
without color
in the black light
we will hide all night
in the black light
we are safe inside
in the black light
we will have no lies
in the black light
no one will die
in the black light
without color
51.Redemption (Hangs Upon The Nails)
作詞：Matthew Ervin
listen, hear me
close your eyes
close your arms around me
take my hand
take everything
I am dying in your arms
dont you know that I am here？
like so many times before
whisper, to me
say you will stay
say you will stay with me
say my name
say anything
I am lying in your arms
cant you feel me here？
like so many times before
52.Minion Of The Gypsies
作詞：Matthew Ervin
in the tomb of my desire
sleeps the ghost, burns the fire
of days gone by
the lost dominion
she is the one with four faces
metal wings and the traces
of tears that dried
she is the minion
she needs nothing and no one
she has seen and will become
all that we are
in her creation
all we want is forbidden, then hidden from us
she will give back what they have taken
and break the chains
when she reveals, when she appears
when we are saved
when she returns, when she is real
when we are safe
the palest angel of this earth
has taken shape, has given birth
to ways gone by
the last dominion
taste the curse of the gypsy
kiss her mouth and now kiss me
the priestess lied
now you are forgiven
old men and the books they hold sacred
give into the hatred
of feelings that died
the trumpets have sounded
53.Requiem
作詞：Matthew Ervin
shivering in the cold
shimmering in the calm
the still calm
Father
someday has come and gone away
far away
beyond
beyond the space between us
lead the way
back home to you
to the comfort I have been missing for so long
struggling to find
smothering out the last light
from the sky
Father
someday is here and now you are gone
gone away
still I want
to finally find a way to you
lead the way
to thee today
I have been gone so long
I am so tired
I have been looking for too long
sometimes searching in vane
someday I will find
when the search is over
I am so tired
I am coming home
54.The Ruins Of Athens (2nd Movement)
作詞：Matthew Ervin
a yulan, snow and sea
falls in circles over me
the many lives I have to lead
are petals falling from that tree
without a choice in destiny
the force of my heartbeats endlessly
Celia, arise, arise to capture this day
Celia, arise, arise
in darkness, in light
it is you that I seek
in heaven, on earth
with you I will be
in life as in death
together we will be
for love is true
and does exist
if not for all
then for just two
existence, no truth or desire
resistance, no failure or fight
persistence, no motion, no time
injustice, no reason, no feeling
armistice, no cause to die for
reverence, no god to pray to
insistence, for meaning in all things
accordance, for peace of mind
55.In Spite of Everything
作詞：Matthew Ervin
anguish is near
so close with me here
and I have nowhere to run
and nowhere to hide
so just let me lie
here by your side
but before I sleep
before I escape
please heed my demand
and just hold my hand
just for awhile
I hope you dont mind
but I have nowhere to go
and I cant decide
so paint me a smile
as I close my eyes
but before I sleep
take leave of my grief
so just one last time
I will take what is mine
with my so-called scars
and their so-called hearts
with eyes staring blankly
and feeling far away
just long enough
to keep the wolves at bay
