A Lullaby to Die To

Though the sporadic canvas of natures wintry tempest
I heard a siren’s song of unutterable euphoria
Whispering my name within its stormy winds
I am attentive to  its words like a fond lover
Through my solitude and death, this is where my story begins…

Twilight destroyed the skies of day
As the winds almost swept reality away
Still pushing forever in cold winter’s night
Pushing my frozen body for all its might
I reached my determined destiny
Euphony!
As I cradled her stiff body in the frozen snow
Her strings and body so detailed and defined made the night seem aglow
She is still Calling my name in her honeyed tongue
And I Hearken and push my self forever forward
Knowing, that I, shall be never be shunned

Chorus)
I wake up to find my self in a world of coldness
brought on by fears and loss
tempted by my mindless tempest
my humanity has been forever lost
Yet I still wish to hearken, the sound of forgotten lore
And all my pain and pleasure was in the music which I shall forever adore

Turning back the clock I lived forever then in that reflection
Still playing her siren’s song to others demanded all my attention
Lost in her music and in  her chilly embrace
The futures of forever I shall forever more be able to face

Mournful Euphony as I have chosen my vow heedlessly,
Continuing to Perform this ageless tasks Conscientiously
Lying to my self while wearing a mask upon a mask
As all the players dance within my demented masquerade
Change is needed, a rewrite of the script before we all manage to fade
And …

Chorus)
I wake up to find my self in a world of coldness
brought on by fears and loss
tempted by her mindless tempest
my humanity has been forever lost
Yet I still wish to hearken, the sound of forgotten lore
And all my pain and pleasure was in the music which I shall forever adore
I know I am lost now from humanity ever more

Reaching towards my destiny and no longer looking back
I see the world with a new epiphany to kill to live is my task
Brought on by her numbing effects, My dearest my violin
Now I shall let her use me if that is my mortal sin


Breathing, your the friged air as I entertain and play my songs
You whisper within me my dearest telling me to go on
Always knowing the answer and so I could never do no wrong
For flowing within me is your magic, and your will to continue on
Twisting in me persistance now your soul and mine are one
letting it flow together forever our affair, never be undone
to live a life and love a love as true and as pure as this
it would leave me within the devil's hell for I know now it exists


Scraping at your strings in a melody of your holy dance
Allowing my audience their death to slowly advance
When I met you I was frozen, deadened from within
You warmed me and allowed me to expel my cold from that we are now  akin
Slowly using your  hunger and suck their energy and life away
Making them nothing but frozen husks face stretched back in a scream, thin, and gray
Eternity with you my love is unbearable  seeing the future turn to history
And in a way I am scared of you and yet drawn to you still like a strange mystery
And still you sing to calm my wounds and my internal scars
Not knowing or even caring that you were the one that went too far
I have to kill to live and to feed you and to feed you that I will
Still I can not help but think I am another helpless fool
brought to life by your beauty and your will to kill


Chorus)
I wake up to find my self in a world of coldness
brought on by fears and loss
tempted by her mindless tempest
my humanity has been forever tossed
Yet I still wish to hearken, the sound of forgotten lore
And all my pain and pleasure was in the music which I shall forever adore


Love today I am scared to be with you
Because now I have no control
Over my body, my mind,and my immortal soul
Just another puppet upon  your torturing strings
Your closeness and coldness is a medicine that stings
Yet Still you whisper with a voice that almost seems ablaze…
“ There is no more light nor love and there will soon be no more days
Our youth will never die so no point in basking in guilty memories
We are together forever no point in showing me any enmity…”


You voice back then in a quiver called to me as if from a lovely dream
until it became a nightmare; a nightmare of which I am unable to scream


So dearest love, today you finnally spoke true
For I have lived a thousand lives,
destroying other peoples lives, with you

Author notes

This poem was made after the main character in my story called the violin of audric beaumont. Which could be found here: http://storywrite.com/story/135056 This was a difficult piece esp since it was in a song and from his point of view. I have not even finished writing the story or thinking it out yet. When writing this I did not want Audric to feel sorry about doing what he is doing, but it came out that way.The violin of Audric beaumont was inspired by nightwish's the siren as well as theater of tragedy and sin of thy beloved's The Mournful Euphony, and one of drac's stories forgot which one.
Both songs could be found here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1gxLNQLMA-8 (night wish: The siren) and
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6N7AISAdpaI ( Sins of thy beloved:The Mournful Euphony)

For those of you who do not know about my story here is a quick summery...
Music is essence of one soul they say, but if that the case can you manipulate music to remove ones soul? Audric finds him self with a cursed violin and becomes its owner. As the violin serves him he too serves the violin. The violin's music is able to whom ever hears it may it be beast or man the music well slowly kill them. It takes the things such as youth, energy, and soul and allows it to become part of the owner‘s immortality. The violin is alive and it feeds off of those who wield it and those who wield it feed off of others around them. With constant centuries of this occurring you would think that a person would become numb to seeing the effect of a someone freezing to death. Trouble arises when Audric falls in love and Audric's violin with a will of its own won't have it's will undone. As you can see it would be kind of difficut to write about the experiance of sharing energy between your self and an evil violin. I got my insperation from all the evil violin books out there as well as the weather and how much I hate it.Grrr freezing to death I hate the cold.

    this is truly a great piece. all the words were perfectly fit together in a harmony that you have mastered. the story as a whole is great too, but as a song, i think it is rather long. even though it was a nice read, i almost couln't finish it.

    all the best,
    kassie

    Very nice flow and construction. Powerful imagery gives the piece a nice edge. Excellent use of vocabulary and it kept me entertained. I found the piece overall very unique and provoking. WIll have to read your story too. Thanks for the read.
