I. Cimson Sunrise


II. Innocence

I remember a time 
My frail, virgin mind 
Watched the crimson sunrise 
Imagined what it might find 
Life was filled with wonder 
I felt the warm wind blow 
I must explore the boundaries 
Transcend the depth of winter's snow 

Innocence caressing me 
I never felt so young before 
There was so much life in me 
Still I longed to search for more 

But those days are gone now 
Changed like a leaf on a tree 
Blown away forever 
Into the cool autumn breeze 
The snow has now fallen 
And my sun's not so bright 
I struggle to hold on 
With the last of my might 

In my den of inequity 
Viciousness and subtlety 
Struggle to ease the pain 
Struggle to find the same 

Ignorance surrounding me 
I've never been so filled with fear 
All my life's been drained from me 
The end is drawing near...

III. Carpe Diem

"Carpe diem,
Seize the day"

I'll always remember
The chill of November
The news of the fall
The sounds in the hall
The clock on the wall ticking away
"Seize the Day"
I heard him say
Life will not always be this way
Look around
Hear the sounds
Cherish your life while you're still around

"Gather ye rosebuds while ye may,
Old Time is still a-flying;
And this same flower that smiles today,
Tomorrow will be dying."

We can learn from the past
But those days are gone
We can hope for the future
But there might not be one
The words stuck in my mind
alive from what I've learned
I have to seize the day
To home I returned

Preparing for her flight
I held with all my might
Fearing my deepest fright
She walked into the night
She turned for one last look
She looked me in the eye
I said, "I Love You...Good-bye"

"It's the most awful thing you'll ever hear."
"If you're lying to me..."
"Oh, you dearly love her."
"...just have to leave... all our lives."
"Sieze the day!"
"Something happened."
"Gather ye rosebuds while ye may."
"She was killed."

IV. The Darkest of Winters


V. Another World

So far or so it seems 
All is lost 
With nothing fulfilled 
Off the pages and the 
T.V. screen 
Another world 
Where nothing's true 

Tripping through 
The life fantastic 
Lose a step 
And never get up 
Left alone 
With a cold blank stare 
I feel like giving up 

I was blinded by a paradise 
Utopia high in the sky 
A dream that only drowned me 
Deep in sorrow, wondering why 

Oh come let us adore him 
Abuse and then ignore him 
No matter what 
Don't let him be 
Let's feed upon his misery 
Then string him up for all the world to see 

I'm sick of all 
Your hypocrites 
Holding me at bay 
And I don't need 
Your sympathy 
To get me through the day 

Seasons change and so can I 
Hold on Boy 
No time to cry 
Untie these strings 
I'm climbing down 
I won't let them push me away 

Oh come let us adore him 
Abuse and then ignore him 
No matter what 
Don't let him be 
Let's feed upon 
His misery 
Now it's time for them 
To deal with me

VI. The Inevitable Summer


VII. The Crimson Sunset

I'm much wiser now 
A lifetime of memories 
Run though my head 
They taught me how 
For better or worse 
Alive or dead 
I realize 
There's no turning back 
Life goes on 
The offbeaten track 

I sit down with my son 
Set to see the Crimson Sunset 
(Gather ye rosebuds while ye may) 
Many years have come and gone 
I've lived my life, but now must move on 
(Gather ye rosebuds while ye may) 
He's my only one 
Now that my time has come 
Now that my life is done 
We look into the sun 
"Seize the day and don't you cry 
Now it's time to say good-bye 
Even though I'll be gone 
I will live on, live on"
