Ariel:

Sleepless,

not really quite awake.

Where the soul conforms

to deeper needs.

Free within

frames of custody,

I revolve my spirit

and exhale.

On the edge of paradise,

poison burning in my veins.

Unavailing, compromised,

my dreams remain the same.

Soothing but

yet so violent

in this world within

the other world.

Moonlight,

in visions, Heaven sent

I see demon eyes

and wings unfurled.

On the edge of paradise,

poison burning in my veins.

Unavailing, compromised,

my dreams remain the same.

On the edge of paradise,

powerless I sail on by.

Undermining life itself,

my will to wonder why.

Dolcissimae, Oh Fortuna, Venit Meos...

On the edge of paradise,

poison burning in my veins.

Unavailing, compromised,

my dreams remain the same.

On the edge of paradise,

powerless I sail on by.

Undermining life itself,

my will to wonder why.
